Awaiting the baby.....

I have been off work for about a week and a half. There is not a whole lot going on, since I'm physically not able to do a lot of the things I would like to do (walk for more than 20 minutes, put away the pots and pans in the lower cabinets, tie my shoes....you get the idea.) :) The baby (and belly) continue to grow despite my disbelief that my body can continue to get bigger! The baby moves around a ton, and my sleep patterns are all askew. For that reason alone, I am very grateful to be off work. Sometimes I need to get up at 5am and eat something, then go back to sleep for 3 or 4 hours. This would be impossible if I were having to go to work everyday!

So far, I think Jasen has done more "nesting" than I have.....he took off Monday from work and did a laundry list of organizing around the house. So far, all I have managed to accomplish is cleaning out the two linen closets and some laundry. However, I am quite proud of the newly organized linen closets - ha!

Here is a pictures I just took today! (37 weeks 4 days officially). It looks like anyone who bet on a March delivery date won't be winning the pool! As you can tell, it is beautiful weather here....70s and sunny. So, the last few days I have been lounging in the backyard with Roxy, reading "Natural Baby" and some other books that I know I won't have time for once the baby arrives!

Also, I bought this photo family tree from Target the other day to hang in the baby's room. I thought it would be a really cute way to have photos of all the family in the baby's room.....especially the family we (sadly) won't be seeing so often. So, this is my current project....trying to find photos to add to the tree. I will have to post the finished project.....

Next baby appointment is on Friday! I'll post another update then! :)
