35 weeks

Well the rain has finally stopped and I had the day off so I figured it was a good time to get in a belly picture!

I can not believe that I am already at 35 weeks… where has the time gone? My belly just seems to get bigger and bigger every day. This little guy is a mover and loves to stretch out. Unfortunately for me that means some major discomfort now and then. At over 18″ long and about 5 1/2 pounds there isn’t much room for stretching that isn’t already taken up by things like, you know, the rest of my organs.

With that said, I still LOVE being pregnant. It is such a blessing and I thank God every day for this little life that He has allowed to grow inside of me. I am constantly in awe of how the body works. Even with the discomfort, I know that I will miss feeling his movements inside of me once he is born.

With only about a month to go I have a lot to do/figure out. When am I going to go on leave from work, what forms do I need to fill out in order to get disability pay, where are we going to put the glider and ottoman, do we have enough newborn sized clothes, who will our pediatrician be, and the list goes on. I am slowly checking things off the list though, and am confident that it will all get done/figured out by the time he arrives.
