Week 35

We are officially at week 35 and it seems so weird to me.  Pregnancy has been so easy- so far, and time has flown by.  I fear I am going to miss being pregnant.  The joys of feeling J.T. move, get the hiccups and kick will all be memories.  I know I'll enjoy having him here with us but it's different.  He's all mine at the moment.  Once his arrives I will have to share him.  

The nursery is ready and very cute.  Not at all what I had imagined but as it came together I liked it more and more.  Next, we plan to finish the closet organizer and get some smaller things done around the house.  I had planned to post nursery pics soon but keep forgetting to add them.  Maybe today or tomorrow while I'm off cleaning the house and making some last minute nesting adjustments I will get a chance to post pics. 

I keep wondering when that burst of energy will hit.  I have read about this nesting burst that pregnant women get.  I can't wait.  I am really tired of being tired.  I slept til 10:15 this morning and thought I'd feel ready to go...not so much.  It took me an hour to wake up. 

Week 36 is exciting because my doctor will check to see if we have dilated at all.  I know it doesn't mean much in the beginning but either way I am pumped.  Updates to come...

Today was our 32 week checkup and all is well!  The doctor said he was growing as he should and his heart rate was 144 beats per minute.  He is very active and always shows off when we go to the doctor.  It's pretty entertaining.  I was surprised that I hadn't gained any weight because for those of you who see me frequently, I certainly look bigger.  I did have blood work done to see if I am immune to "Fifth's Disease" because it is currently circulating my school and causes some small concerns.  Either way we are on the right track and J.T. is growing like a weed.  God is good.

What a weekend!  Yesterday was our first baby shower and it was incredible.  I had no idea how many loving friends and family we had.  I think you always assume you have close friends but then moments in life like this happen and you see how many true friends you really have.  It meant so much to have everyone together yesterday: church friends, family members, etc.  We received more than we would have ever expected.  

When we unloaded the car it looked like Babies'R Us has puked in our living room.  After much sorting and debating on sizes we organized things, hung things up and got the nursery as ready as possible.

I am still in that state of disbelief.  I know we're going to have a baby boy but it still seems so unreal.  Pregnancy has been easy and has passed so quickly and time seems to fly by.  I know when he gets here our lives will never be the same.  I am so ready to hold him and count his fingers and toes.  I am thankful for all of the great people around us who will also be there to support us and help raise a wonderful little boy.  Thanks for a great shower, friends!

Pictures of the nursery coming soon... :)
