Big Belly!

Wow! My belly is getting so big! It's getting really difficult to do simple things like put on shoes, shave my legs and clean the house. Having this month off before Hudson comes is such a blessing. I don't know how I would work full time and get everything done. I thought that I would get board...but I'm always busy. I've been enjoying time with friends for lunch, shopping and visitors to see Hudson's room. I also see the doctor once a week. It's so strange to have only three more appointments. I remember booking them and thinking there were so many! Hopefully I will get to go to all three of them. I would like him to wait until his due date or close to it. No matter when he comes it's going to be one of the most amazing days of my life.

Belly at 35 Weeks

Here is my belly at 35 weeks. Many people have asked why I haven't posted any belly shots lately...so here it is! It's such a strange feeling to have this big belly. The wierdest part is, I love it! I really think that I will miss being pregnant. It's such an amazing feeling. I love watching my belly grow, feeling him move, knowing that he is with me all the time and most of all dreaming about what he will be like.

Thank you to everyone who has been checking on me. I feel blessed to have so many amazing friends!

One more month!

I can't believe it, I only have four more weeks! I went to the doctor today and she said that everything looks right on schedule. Hudson is head down and about 5 1/2 pounds right now. He should gain another 2 pounds before birth. She thinks he will be on time or early. I was happy to hear that. If he goes longer than one week overdue she will induce. I really don't want to be induced.

This week I plan to rest, read, and finish Hudson's room. As soon as the room is complete I will post pictures.

35 Weeks

Where has the time gone? I only have 5 more weeks (or less) until I get to meet the little man that will own my heart (he can share with John). I feel like just yesterday I began writing this blog. Now I am so glad that I did. It has been a great way to stop and think about each change and update many friends and family. Right now I'm feeling excited and nervous about the next few weeks. It seems like I need to be ready now, he could come early. Starting next week I see my doctor once a week. I'm hoping that she can give me her opinion on how big he might be and if she thinks that he could come early. Those who know me well know how I love to plan EVERYTHING. This waiting game is going to kill me.

Last day of work...

I thought that I would be excited to be done working. That isn't the case. I am excited to get some much needed rest and to stay off my (swollen) feet. Though as I sit here and procrastinate getting ready to go today I don't feel excited. I feel sad to be leaving my "other family". The Podolsky's have become a big part of my life. I know that as soon as I'm home a few days and get into my new routine I will be fine. I just find it interesting that I'm not excited to be done.

Matt and Rachael hosted the most amazing couples shower for us this past weekend. We feel so blessed to have so many wonderful friends. I especailly want to thank Keri, Jessica, Summer and Deric for flying in for the occasion. The party was full of laughs and few tears (from me). I was completly taken away by the whole event. I can't wait for Hudson to get here. There are so many people excited to meet him!
