What a whirl wind!!!!!!!!!!!!

We hit 34 weeks on Tuesday.

Which mean we are T minus 6 weeks away and counting. Though I am honestly rooting for somewhere in the 6-1/2 to 7 week mark because then my parents will be here. This is so crazy to me. I can’t even believe it. I feel like it was just yesterday we were realizing our lives were going to change. Then during 2nd trimester I felt so drawn out physically that I felt like I was going to be pregnant FOREVER!

But now things are winding down. I can tell my body is getting ready. I wish it would get my mind ready!

Our apartment is not ready.

We have a small one bedroom apartment with an office that we will be making into her room and having her sleep with us in our room for the first couple months. Our lease is pretty much up and we are planning on moving this summer anyway so we weren’t too worried about setting up a baby room completely, but now my nesting instincts are hitting and I’m getting antsy.

Still we are much more prepared than we were. God has been SO good. Can I tell you?! If you look at our baby website (which you should because it’s great) you’ll see that we have our registries up but we also have a wish list. And we already have most of the things on our list! And we either didn’t pay for them or got them super cheap or in great condition on Craigslist. THANK YOU CHICAGO!

My favorite so far is the glider we got. It’s a super expensive one that we got for a fraction of the cost from a great home. The mom wanted it for their fourth and final baby but then she never used it because of running around three other kiddo’s so it literally is in perfect condition. And it’s comfy and gorgeous and I can’t wait to cuddle with our little girl in this chair while we have our unrequited moments in the wee morning hours. Once we get it up to the apartment I’ll have some pictures for you.

I’m feeling so thankful for what we have and getting nervous about what we have yet to get. But the lovely ladies in my Bible Study are putting on quite the Baby Shower as my sources tell me and I”m so excited! It’s only a couple weeks away! Then the final purchases can happen and maybe we can get all things ready for this little girl’s arrival.

Time for bed. I’m so tired!!!!!!!!

My Little Princess

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

My little girl still has a couple months to go until we get to meet face to face, but I already know so much about her. I can’t wait to know more but here is what I’m certain of so far:

My little princess is 28 weeks old today! In my belly. Not in the real world yet.

My little princess kicks and prods her mommy from day until night.

My little princess does crazy flips that make her mommy feel like there must be two babies in there.

My little princess is the size of an eggplant this week. Or a Chinese Cabbage. Whichever source you read.

My little princess is measuring about 5 days ahead which is fantastic because then perhaps we’ll have her closer to her actual due date!

My little princess can see light if it’s bright enough for her. But considering her mommy wears black at work all day and then by the time she gets home it’s incredibly dark…she probably hasn’t had the opportunity yet.

My little princess is getting so big that her mommy has already had to get rid of one pair of maternity pants.

My little princess is blinking, swallowing and starting to exercise her lungs so that she’ be ready to take her first ever breath in just a couple months.

My little princess has been creeping up in my dreams lately making me think she’s already here. Then I feel my belly and realize that she isn’t, which makes me sad.

I just can’t wait to meet my little girl.

Do you see her smiling?

I’m an Elephant

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

I realize that I still have a little over two months to go and feeling like an elephant now can only mean that I will feel like a Rhino mixed with some other large creature that would probably be seen in the Lord of the Rings. I looked in the mirror today, like a big ol’ full body with out my top on, and I felt HUGE! What in the world! I felt like I just looked like this:
