So what has happened since my last post?? A lot! I don't want to drag on too long, but I'll fill you in on a few of the top things.
1. We got air conditioning installed in our house finally! And we are thankful we did seeing as Colorado just broke a record with 24 consecutive days above 90 degrees.
2. We took our birthing class at the hospital and both learned a ton. Chadwick especially was very interested in learning what this whole birth process is all about. He is gonna be a great dad!
3. We had 2 more baby showers. One was thrown by my co-workers and one by my sister. Everyone so was generous and we really enjoyed celebrating with friends and family. We truly are blessed.
4. This one just happened today...apparently our baby could be here any day! I have been measuring "big" at my last few doctor's appointments and was supposed to have an ultrasound next week on August 12th to check the size of the baby and what not. Well today at my 35 week appt., I measured at 39 weeks pregnant! Babies are born/full-term at 40 weeks! If these measurements are true, I only have 1 week left! Now it is not likely I will have the baby next week, but you just never know. It could be that our boy is just big. It could just be the way he is positioned. Or it could just be the way my body is built. Needless to say, the doctor's bumped my ultrasound up to this week, so we will be having one on Wednesday morning. So we should know on Wednesday what is really going on and what steps we need to take next. As you can imagine, I am SUPER anxious to find out what the deal is. Prayers are greatly appreciated! More to come on this once we know.
Lastly, I always get more and more questions to see the baby bump. Despite my story above about measuring big, I don't feel like I "look" huge. However, i do "feel" huge. I definitely have a pregnant waddle going on these days and my back and hips are hating me right now. Anyways, here's a few pics.
**I'm having issues getting my pictures to load. I'll try again later. Check back soon.**
