Showered with Love

Last weekend all the women in my family braved the pouring rain to celebrate sweet baby Collin. It really got me excited for his arrival and I'm so blessed to have such amazing women in my life. Granny, Auntie Jenny and Auntie Mimi worked hard to make the day special for Collin. The food was so yummy. We had quiche from Grandpa, fruit in a baby carriage shaped watermelon made by Jenny, salad, and pastries. Hannah helped make the most precious decorations which now hang in Collin's room. Hannah also beat all the adults at the game. If you said the word "baby" you lost your pacifier necklace. I love my family and Collin is so lucky to be loved already. I know with a third baby I pretty much already have everything, but I'm glad Granny insisted on giving him his own special day because it was so fun. Baby boy is technically four weeks away, but I really think it could be anytime now. I'm starting to get contractions and to put it simply just feel huge. First check is Friday. I think that might shed some light.

8 Months

34 weeks. I'm starting to feel a mix of emotions. On one hand I've hit the wall. Just feeling big and uncomfortable, especially at night. My right leg has pain radiating down it 24 hours a day. The doctor thinks he's probably just sitting on a nerve. On the other hand, I always hate saying goodbye to my inside babies. It's such a special feeling that you don't get very long and as most likely my last, I just want to remember what is like to have it just me and him. He's coming soon. I can't help but stare at the calendar and wonder. Both Collin and myself are measuring right on time. Heart beat has consistently been 135. He's head down with butt up and feet to the side. In two weeks I'll get my first check which I'm excited about. I was already 3 cm at 36 weeks with Jack so very curious to see what's happening with this guy.
