28 Days and Counting......

We are SO ready to have this little guy - it's not even funny! Me for sure! Tired of being round, waddling, and not being able to breathe :) haha! Overall - this has been the best pregnancy I could ever ask for! No morning sickness, no problems, I am just very blessed. I was telling the guys at work today that I haven't even called in once in 8 months! (knock of wood)

So a couple weekends ago, my girls threw me another shower! Wow- what a great turn-out and soooo many gifts for baby Jake. (despite the heat - it was the best shower!) We are truly blessed with great friends and family. I am still getting gifts dropped off at work.... things we really need too! Diapers, bath stuff, etc. =)
Last Saturday my mom, step-mom, and mother-in-law came over to help me clean the house real good! We washed logs, ceilings, and baseboards! Having a log house makes for A LOT of dust! I couldn't reach it all, so they all came over to help! SO VERY NICE OF THEM! I wanted it nice and clean for Jake to come home to.
That's all for now - I have my 37 week check-up next week on the 25th. I will let you all know what the DR says! I'm hoping he's gonna say "you're going into labor early" haha! Wishful thinking!

Here are a few pics from the shower!




All the wonderful hostesses!
They did an amazing job!

Feelin' HOT~HOT~HOT

I mean, really? Could I have picked a worse time to be pregnant? =) This little momma is HOT... not the cute "hott", the sweaty hot! haha! WHEW! Disgusting hot!


Today I had my 34 week check-up. All is well, Jake's heart beat is strong and fast! Dr. M thinks he's around 4 1/2 lbs right now. He also told me he thinks I will carry to term. I know a lot of people "tell" me that I will probably be late since this is my first baby but for some reason I have this feeling he is going to come early. Dr Muylaert had to go and burst my bubble today! ha! I can wish right?! As of right now, I do not want to be induced. I can totally change my mind though! Ask me again in a few weeks! LOL! I may be screaming- take this child asap!


Last weekend, my beautiful aunts threw me my first baby shower. It was great! I am so beyond blessed to have so many loving family members to help us during this exciting time and share all the joys of a new baby! =) So here are a few pics of the shower.....

"Welcome Jake" =)
This coming weekend is my second shower that Sarah, Heather, and Christie are throwing me. I am super EXCITED about it! I can't wait to get everything else in Jake's room put away and ready for the little guy to get here! I washed his sheets last weekend that we got and put on the mattress and got the bed all set up! Yay! I will post pictures of the room when we are finally done with it!
Josh has just been working and trying to fix things around the house. It's so stinking hot though, he tries to stay in some too. Well, I make him. haha! He eats a lot of popsicles!!! That boy goes through a box a week!
Guess that's it for now! Stay cool everyone ;)
