Week 36 - Happy Easter!

I think this baby was trying to make his escape during church this morning. I don't think I have ever felt him move that much. It made for a very uncomfortable hour but even so it is still fun to feel him squirm and kick. 

Happy Easter everyone!!!

A few photos

Ruger and I have spent some time at the beach lately. It's starting to melt and give some hope of spring. 

Two weeks ago the ladies threw a baby shower for me. 

Here are the ladies hard at work prepping food. These are their serious faces

At the party they wrote notes on diapers for me as little pick-me-ups during late night changings. Can't wait to read them!

 Baby got some awesome gifts. Including a handmade sweater my mom sent from Idaho. Wonderful surprise!

Cupcake decorating fun!

The food was delicious and the company was wonderful. 

It was a great party that left me feeling incredibly blessed! 

On a beautiful day later that week we flew out to a nearby lake and met up with one of Steve's friends who was ice fishing with his son.

The dog got some much needed play time

No fish but it was a nice relaxing day

I like this guy a lot. 

We also went to Anchorage for a little getaway and to pick up some baby items we still needed.

We skied Kincaid trails. And by ski I mean scoot. That's about all I could do anyways.

After an hour I was so exhausted that I had to walk down one of the steeper hills to avoid falling. Made me feel quite pathetic

A couple shots of the bump

I think these were my last few adventures before the baby's arrival. I can't seem to muster up the energy to do much these days. Soon I will be posting pictures of our little man. Can't wait to meet him!

35 weeks

The countdown is on. Baby Staton is due exactly one month from today. There are so many things left on my to do list but I'm caring less and less. I'm ready. Well, mostly ready. My bag is halfway packed so hopefully he will wait until that's finished to make his appearance. 

He still moves as much as ever, which gets less comfortable the bigger he gets. I think his energy level inside the womb is giving us a hint as to what kind of two year old he will be. Makes me want to go take a nap.

35 weeks - notice the preggo hand. My engagement ring is now on a chain around my neck.  

The last couple days I've reorganized my bookshelves, did major dusting, scrubbed my floors, washed some baseboards and walls and started packing for d-day. Nesting is a fantastic motivator for deep cleaning. It's too bad that the reason a woman gets the nesting bug is the same reason that she has limited energy and mobility making it extremely difficult to make much progress. At least that's been my experience. Guess I will just have to settle for what progress I can make.

For now I'm going to ignore the mess and continue enjoying my sabbath day. Bring on the couch.

Week 34

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!!!!

Week 33

Just a picture today. I have lots of pictures to post and write about but don't have time right now. Thought I'd better get a 33 week picture up since tomorrow I will be 34 weeks.

So here it is. 33 weeks but measuring at 36 weeks. Big baby or just big mama? We will have to wait and see.
