It's been a while since I updated about the pregnancy, so I thought I'd jump on and post some pictures. I'm 34 weeks now and crossing my fingers I have only about 4-5 weeks to go. See, in all of my pregnancies I end up having an early ultrasound for one reason or another and at that point, my due date is moved up. Even then, I've never actually made it to even my adjusted due date. Other than HOW it came to be, this pregnancy has actually been fairly complication-free! So I didn't have a real early ultrasound- we only took a quick peek at my first midwife appointment. At that point the baby was 9 weeks- and it was very obvious that the baby was developed beyond 9 weeks. We tried to get a quick measurement but this little boy would not stay still, so we gave up and decided, eh, I'll just be prepared to go early. So I'm planning on being ready at 36 weeks, but hoping baby stays put until around 38 weeks.
I won't go into how I'm feeling. Suffice it to say the latter part of pregnancy is really hard. Add in 4 kids, 2 blogs, a husband in grad school and maintaining a household and you'll get a glimpse into my life.
I have a list of To-Do's and am slowly working my way through it. See, adding in to the equation is the fact that we've decided to sell our house and move next year (Spring-ish) so we're also trying to tackle a few home projects before the weather turns too. Fun.
We have a name for the baby (Adam Curtis) and he will be bunking with Adrian and I for likely the duration of us being in our house. So we've cleared a corner and set up the changing table, rocking chair and his dresser. Thank heavens for our oversized master bedroom! The dresser is full of clean little baby boy clothes and the changing table has a few packages of newborn diapers. Along the side of the dresser we also have stocked up on 2 boxes of size 1 & 1-2 diapers. I feel like things are really coming together! We still have to wash the Pack N Play (it's super dusty!) and set that up, but I've got a couple more weeks for that.
I took several pictures a couple weeks ago at 32 weeks and planned to update then. I actually updated on Utah Deal Diva, but the info never made it over here, lol. So here are some cute pictures of me and the kids at 32 weeks!
I have to say too, it's been pretty hard for me to feel excited about this pregnancy. I know some reading this couldn't ever understand why, but really it was not just unplanned it was very, very prevented! I could have never guessed I'd feel like this. So yeah, it's been rough for me. At any rate, the kids are so incredibly thrilled and that has really helped me get excited. Leah thinks there is a baby in her belly too and Hailey, Colin and Leah talk to and kiss my belly every single day. Sometimes I'm just hot and tired and want them to leave me alone, but most of the time I think it's really cute.

I thought this shot was so cute. Taken from my view point.
Leah, showing me her baby.
Belly to belly!
Saying cheese! Notice anything different about me?? I got my braces off! YEAH! I still have these fancy plastic retainers I need to wear for a while, but it's fun to not have braces on. I only had them on for 9.5 months- I was an over achiever!!
In other news... I didn't really want to write a whole separate post for these two things, so I thought I'd include them here...
Colin showed Leah how to color on the walls! How awesome is that?!? Not. They really did a number on it- the entire length of the wall has crayon on it. In multiple colors. The funniest part was when Colin tried to blame it on Leah, lol. Ummm... yes, she grew #1, then she learned how to write the words "Colin" and "Leah" since the drawings were each labeled. Nice try, kid! I cleaned about 95% of it off with a Mr.Clean Magic Eraser, then left Colin with a wet rag to do the rest. For about 3 hours. It wasn't a whole lot of fun and I'm thinking he won't be coloring on the walls for a while, at least.
This cute little boy had his first day of Preschool today! This is his 2nd year of preschool since he has an early October birthday, so it's not as big of a deal as it was last year. He knows what to do and where to go, so his first day was seamless. He was so excited though- this kid NEEDS stimulation! He's so ready for Kindergarten already... oh well!
