15 days left!!!!

OK, so maybe not exactly 15 days but that just sounds so awesome! Had to throw that in there. :) This Christmas break has really been relaxing for the most part. We got everything we wanted and nothing we didn't really need. It was great! I am in the process of trying to get everything done on my to-do list before Mason gets here and it looks like I am actually going to get everything done! I even started doing things that weren't on the list, but that I just wanted to do! Hopefully if my projects go well I will have to post some pics of the finished products. OH, I found this picture on the computer and thought it was just too funny! (It was from Valentine's Day last year) MAN I can't wait to have my body back! Haha! It will all be worth it in the end though. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! New Years is right around the corner!

Updates...

I still can't believe we only have 3 weeks left until my little man is here! Doctors appointments have been going good. I still cant figure out where all this weight is. I'd like to think I still look the same as I did in these pics but...ugh....yeah prolly not. I'm up to 26lbs gained (my goal was to be at 25lbs) but have been steady at that weight for the last 2-3 weeks or so. I can definitely tell the water weight is starting to set in...I feel a bit 'thicker' than normal and even Aaron can tell my legs are a bit thicker :) Good thing this is not permanent!! Haha! He's not moving around as much as he used to but my doc said its just cus he doesn't have much room to move around in there! He's switched from one rib to the other side the other day which was kinda a relief...that whole side of my ribs was really taking a beating! Its felt bruised even to the touch! Here are some pics from the baby bump session we had about a month ago. As I type that I realize its been that long. Crazy, seems like yesterday! Just noticed none of these have my face in them so I will have to ask her if she will send me one. So this would have been at like 32 weeks...

36 Weeks

This is my last week at work!!!! Whoohooo!!! I cant even begin to tell you how excited I am about that. I haven't NOT had a job in like 10 years! I need a break! Haha...but...He's almost here! I can't hardly wait! I still sometimes look at my ever growing belly and realize I am about to be a mother! I mean, its the strangest feeling to know that something is growing inside you and you can kinda see it. Moving around, having hiccups, kicking me in my ribs, oh yeah, he's in there! My mind is still racing with random thoughts of 'What it will be like to have him in the flesh?', 'Will I be a good mom?', 'How bad is this really going to hurt?', 'Will I ever get my body back?', 'Is he ok?' I'm sure everything will be just fine but it's hard to relax sometimes when you are heading into the complete unknown (With no way to back out now! haha) without any idea of how everything is about to play out. Its scary and exciting all at the same time! I'm usually for the most part in control of what happens in my life but this is totally out of my element...there is nothing I can do but let is take it's course...Craziness...
