34 weeks
36 weeks
Not any huge changes from the last nursery pictures, except that before this picture the floor was covered with baby shower gift. Now all those storage bins are organized and full of baby boy clothes, we now have a few books for the newly painted bookshelf, and the dresser is packed with wipes, diapers, and 0-3 month clothes, swaddles, and bibs.
I've felt in the last week especially some major growth for baby. I've been able to put on shoes just fine, but this week? Bending over is a huge chore. He's always been really low, but as he continues to grow I feel him more and more up high. Good thing I'm all torso! So far I've been able to avoid heartburn and swollen ankles. Praises! I've had a rough two weeks of teaching. Two weeks ago I blacked out during 6th period from the heat/stress (I emailed all the parents after that pleading for their help to get their children under control ... otherwise they were gonna put me in early labor I swear). I took two sick days that week and a sick day this week. Now I just have to survive five days.
When you are the favorite, kids buy you strawberry lemonade just because #awwheckyeah
In the last few weeks I've had some baby showers. Laura my sister in-law put together one for my work friends and family. Heather my friend put together one for all my Mormon friends. And at work after school my teacher friends did a joint baby shower for me and a Papa-to-be whose wife is due the same time as me. People have been SO generous and we feel ready to welcome this baby into the world.
We went camping Friday/Saturday to Ocean Shores. Justin and I planned the trip and invited everyone. To our surprise, everyone agreed to come! We made dutch oven potatoes for everyone Friday night and ate the leftovers for breakfast with bacon and bacon grease-fried eggs. Yumm. How fitting to cook Dad's food during Father's Day weekend. During our stay we visited the beach, played card games, and enjoyed the fire and conversation. Justin and I bought an eight-man tent on sale for the event .,.. because we'll fill it with kids one day, right?
ohhhh baby!!
We brought Jackson and Justin put together this leash contraption between two trees so he could walk around and be with us rather than in his kennel the whole time. He did great and loved the ocean!
Smiling mid-yawn...thanks to the birds, whining puppy, and toddlers waking us all up at 5:00. Thank goodness for a warm fire!
Last weekend the Mariners had "Mormon Night" so we went with our friends the Fillmores. Heather had two free tickets and was giving them away, so we took advantage. We had fun taking the light-rail up to Seattle from Tukwila. We are eating up our time together before this baby flips our world upside-down. In a good way, right? ;) I am excited to be a mama soon!
