5 weeks to go!

Hard to believe there are only 5 weeks left (4 weeks and 6 days if we are being exact)!!  Since June, we have had March 1 circled on all of our calendars and it seemed so far away... it is amazing that the day is almost here!

We are starting to get so excited and can't wait to meet our daughter/son! :)

We have recently had a major breakthrough... we have decided on names.  I know, hard to believe.  But we both really love both of the names and it feels great to have mutually agreed on both a boy and a girls name!  We'll just keep everyone in suspense on what those names are until he/she arrives :)

We took a belly shot last night and I have to tell you, I knew I was getting big, but until I saw the photo, didn't realize just HOW big!  Camera puts on 10 lbs though, right?! haha


35 weeks pregnant!

We have our last childbirth prep class tomorrow night -- we are supposed to bring our bag with us to class that we are planning on bringing to the hospital.  Guess that means that we need to pack our bag tonight! 

We had our most recent Dr's appt on Monday and the baby's heartbeat sounded strong and rate was around 140... hearing that heartbeat never gets old :)  Dr. said she thought the baby's head felt like it was down and she estimated that the baby weighs about 5 1/2 lbs!  We will now have weekly appointments until delivery day comes.

We went shopping Monday night to mommy's favorite store (Baby Gap!) and picked out a baby boy and girl outfit that our little one will come home in.  Plan is to have Grandma Kate wash the outfit once we know what it is and bring it to the hospital for us.  It's amazing how excited I seem to get about little things like this :)

I continue to feel pretty good.  I am starting to get to that uncomfortable stage, however.  I easily wake up 3-5 times per night with either heartburn or to have to pee... poor Joey gets awakened every time.  Guess it's just prepping for when the little one actually arrives! 

That's about it for now!  Happy Hump Day everyone and here's to a great rest of the week!
