Josh has decided....

So, last night, Josh let me know that he's ready for the baby. He's ready to meet this little creature that has been moving around and that we have all been waiting for.

Me....I need a couple more weeks. A few things that I feel like still have to get done. We need to buy the final items (stroller, changing pad, etc). We need to steam the floors still. We need to pack the hospital bag. We need to put the car seat in the car/truck.

Speaking of which, we sold the Altima this weekend and bought this:

I'm seriously bummed....but I understand the need. That 2 door car would have been horrible to cart around a baby in....but I LOVED my Nissan. I really did. I am enjoying my last days with it.

Week 34

Down to 39 days. Yikes.

Went to the doctor today.....Baby K has been SUPER active....and as she was taking the babe's heartbeat, she saw a leg pop out the side. Pretty funny stuff. I feel like these doctor appts are such a waste. Everything checks out and I'm on my way - but it takes a good hour or more out of my day to just have her ask how I am and let me go. I guess I should be thankful - but really!

I would say 75% of people who see me think its a boy. Josh and I are still thinking girl - but it's really based on ZERO. Not knowing has been SO exciting and I love every minute of guessing and picking out 2 outfits, 2 names, 2 everything....since I must be ready:)

First of the Year!

I did it....

I ordered and recieved my first Christmas gifts for a couple family members this year. Does this make me crazy? Nesting? Nah - can't be nesting - I've always done this.

It's fun - and ALWAYS helps when I start to feel the pressure in November.

Getting Baby K Room ready....

The weekend of the 23rd of July - Josh and I were blessed to have his parents, my parents, and Sara and Anders in our home - with the sole purpose of getting our place ready for Baby K! They painted the entire room, put together the crib (after going to get it) and carried the dresser upstairs, cleaned the entire house, and put together shelving. Not only that, but I came home after going to a wedding shower to find the baby bed made with a new mattress even on it! What a great weekend and it really helped the room feel much more ready.

I can't believe I'm in week 32. That means, that in 8 weeks, I'm at the full term - waiting to be induced if I haven't had the baby. It also means that in 5 weeks, this baby could be here - and still be full term. So many mixed feelings - exciting but at the same time it's going to be all new and different - and it's a bit of a mourning for the freedom and life Josh and I used to have. While I know it's going to be so much more fun and we won't know what we did before kids - it's still super scary.

Few things about this baby....
1) LOVES spicy food. I eat, Baby dances.
2) Baby loves music in the car....each time I get in the car and play (specifically country....and more specifically Eric Church...the baby starts moving!
3) Baby also enjoys moving WHILE I'm working out. I'm a bit afraid that I've gotten this baby used to movement .....and this may be an issue when he/she is born!
4) I have no idea if this baby is a boy or a girl. I really thought girl originally....but now I'm at a loss.
5) It's getting harder to move. Stairs are tough. I get pretty tired pretty quickly. Eeeka.

It's amazing how much I love something that isn't even born yet (as it's obvious Josh does as well). I can't wait!
