Happy (belated) 4th of July!

Hello!

The 4th of July has come and gone, which means we are having this baby in just over 3 weeks! It's crazy to think that its that close, yet it doesn't seem close enough. So cliche, I know.

I had my 34 week appt a few weeks ago and my doctor told me that my baby is 'a big boy' after hearing her say it pretty much 3 times in a row..with little to no words in between..I got a little worried. If you have seen me, you can see that my belly is big and it looks like it doesn't have much more room to drop..however my doctor noted "it's not because your belly is large or that its you second child...when I feel your stomach it's all baby, like he already doesn't have room to move. Yep, I know (and can feel) this! I had to skip a 36 week appt because of the holiday and my doctors weren't available, so on Monday we will be doing an ultrasound and then meeting with my OB afterwards. I am psyched to be having an ultrasound because we have only had one so far and we had 3-4 with Emma. By the sounds of it they will be scheduling an induction but as we were chatting it occurred to us that we may have my due date pegged wrong. Since we never did an ultrasound in the beginning it could be that I am farther along then we had thought..this means the baby could truly come anytime--on his own. Like I said before, I want to be done but even more than that I want him to come on his own and have the 'suprise' factor when my water breaks.

Other than the normal aches, pains, and pelvic pressure/pain, I can't really complain. He moves a lot and I enjoy it. I haven't blown up as much as I did with Emma..however I weighed mysef tonight and I weigh a couple pounds more than I did the day I gave birth to Em--swollen and full of fluids. That was kind of an eye opener...yikes!

Emma loves the belly too, she loves to lay on it or up against it. She has become quite the cuddler with me lately and I am sucking it up. She is the cutest girl ever! She still loves to play outside and around Corey as he is working on the race car. She doesn't talk a ton still but understands a lot and we keep working with her to talk rather than her 'eh eh' talk.

Hmm....not sure what else is new ..just trying to put down some notes about the pregnancy..before its all over...
