Not being able to sleep...

Tonight I'm having trouble sleeping. I woke up to go to the bathroom and now although my is still body tired I have no desire to fall back asleep. I keep thinking of everything I need to get done tomorrow (I guess now it's today). I have my second Baby Shower at 11am. Your Grandma Budge, Aunt Rachel, and Aunt Susan will be coming from Cedar City so it will be good to see them. Aunt Susan is going to spend the nigh here tomorrow night and I'm still in the process of cleaning out your room which is also the guest room. BabiesRus called and your crib and dresser are finally in so I just need to clear all the boxes and make room to get it all set up this next week. Anyway, COPS is on right now. Mommy loves to watch COPS so I'll probably end up staying up watching old episodes. The joys of pregnancy. I just keep telling myself I'm being prepared for when you're born. I'll be up an awful lot with you throughout the night here really soon.

2nd Shower....

So your second shower was this past weekend. It's crazy how much stuff you have now. I don't think I need to buy you any clothes for the first 6 months of your life. Anyway, Vickie and Aunt Karen did a great job hosting the shower and I think everyone had a really good time. Here are some photos from the Shower...

The Cake.

Some of the many gifts I got at the shower.

Grandma Budge, Aunt Susan, and Aunt Rachel came from Cedar City, UT. to attend your shower. It was really good to see them. Here's a shot of Aunt Susan, Aunt Rachel, & I

Mommy cutting the cake.

"Sculpt A Baby WINNER" Everyone was able to sculpt what you would look like the best they could with clay. It was really funny but Aunt Susan was the winner. She's the only one who put the boy part on the baby. hahahaha....

37 weeks today...

Today Mommy is 37 weeks pregnant. I am doing well. I really don't have much to complain about. I mean I am getting a little anxious but I think at this point that is expected. I have been really really tired but am still working and going about my daily life. I do however, like I mentioned, feel extremely tired by the end of the day and usually just want to pass out when I get home. Daddy & I are narrowing down the names that we have thought of for you. I think we're down to about 3 names. It's getting close to your arrival date. I wish I knew the day you would be born so that I could plan and make sure I have everything ready for you but that's not how things happen. So I guess I'll just have to wait.

My thoughts lately....

You know I never really thought much about if I'd miss being pregnant once you were born or not. But the other night I was talking to Daddy and I told him that it will be really weird not being able to feel you inside my stomach anymore once you're born. I mean for 9 months I've carried you and I sort of can't imagine not feeling you move around inside me. Who knows when we'll have you a brother or sister and so I guess I just was reminded that I really should be enjoying this miracle (YOU) which is growing inside of me.

Doctors Appointment

Today I had a doctors appointment. The doctor measured my belly and everything measured out good. Which means you're growing right on track. Not too big not too little. Just right. I was able to listen to your heartbeat which is really amazing everytime I hear it and the doctor now says I'll come in to visit with him every week. Mommy gained 2lbs. since her last visit which was 2 weeks ago.

36 WEEKS TODAY

Today I am 36 weeks pregnant. WOW!!! I still can't believe how close I am to giving birth to you. I realize you are in my belly but I don't think it will hit me that I'm going to be a mom until you are born and I'm holding you in my arms. Daddy and I are still needing to pick your name and have a lot to do before you arrive. I feel like everyday at work all I do is make trips to the bathroom to pee which I'm getting sick of. You must be sitting right on top of my bladder or something. This past week I feel like you have grown a lot and so I guess when I go in for my next doctors appointment I will see how much I've gained. (Hopefully not too much) It has been a little different coming home to see baby things in our house which we've never had (thanks to the baby shower this past weekend). It sort of reminds us how close we are to being parents. We are both really excited to meet you and I can't wait to see what you look like. I also can't wait to see Daddy hold you. He's going to be such a great Daddy.

My 1st Baby Shower for you...

Grandma Shervanick and Aunt Jody threw you an amazing Baby Shower on Saturday June 13th 2009. Mommy got so many things that I can use for you once you're born. Here are some photos from the big day.Here Mommy is. You can get a pretty good shot of yourself as well. Mommy is 35 weeks pregnant in this photo.Here is Mommy w/ Grandma Shervanick And Mommy with Aunt Jody. Here is the cake that Aunt Jody had specially made for the shower. It was a big hit. A shot from upstairs looking down at the shower.
And the funniest gift ever, PEE PEE TEE PEES. Aunt Jody got them for Mommy. I guess when I change your diaper I can top your little area off so if you wee wee it wont shoot out. And they're washable too!!! HILLARIOUS. Mommy thought they were great.

Childbirth Education Class

Last night Mommy and Daddy went to the first of three Childbirth Education classes we had signed up for. It was a little bit different than I thought it was going to be but did have some really good visual aides. The lady filled up a backpack of all the weight you add on when you're pregnant. Well I guess it's averages of what the placenta weighs, extra blood in your body, etc.... I didn't realize how many things go into that extra weight you gain when you're pregnant. Daddy raised his hand when she wanted a man to come up and wear the backpack on their belly. He made me laugh really hard. I think that was the first time he could really realize how uncomfortable it can be being pregnant. Anyway, it was fun. We did learn some things and look forward to the next two weeks.

35 weeks

Today I am 25 weeks pregnant with you. I'm starting to get antsy about wanting you to be born. Your definately growing and I don't so much feel you kick anymore as I feel you trying to roll around in my belly. It's a little odd feeling but amazing at the same time. I have my first birthing class at the hospital tomorrow evening. I'm excited. I hope that it's fun and I learn a lot.

Appointment with Doctor Spoon...

Yesterday Daddy and I went in for a Doctors appointment with you. Dr. Spoon measured my belly and checked your heartbeat and everything was good. I gained 4lbs. since my last visit which is the most I've gained between visits. Right now I've gained 16 lbs. total over my pregnancy. Dr. Spoon thinks you are 5 1/2 lbs. right now. You are really growing this last trimester. I can't wait until you get here.

34 Weeks and counting down....

Holy Cow!!! I have so many different thoughts this week. First of all I am having lots of pain when I move my one leg up and down on the one side of my stomach. Something is pulling something and I don't like it one bit. I feel tired all of the time. It so stinks. Last night I kept waking up and at work today I felt like a zombie. I have been working on unpacking from our recent move everyday after work but I'm just pooped from everything. I know this is probably good for me to have all this stuff going on before you arrive b/c once you're here I'm sure I wont be getting much sleep or relaxation for years to come. I am extremely excited to see what/who you look like. And as much as I'm so excited to have you here with us I'm really beginning to feel this whole labor and delivery thing. Mommy is not so tough and doesn't like pain at all. I can barely deal with the pains I've had over the last few weeks I don't know how I will do with contractions. I'm really scared about that and just want everything to go smoothly when you enter this world. I'm not sure how Daddy really feels. I don't think he's too nervous. He knows way more about kids then I do so I'm going to need his help. He has been so busy working lately that I don't think he realizes how soon he is going to have a son but I know as soon as you are born he is going to be so proud to have you as his son. WE LOVE YOU & Can't wait for you to get here!!!
