38 Weeks!

38 Weeks today! YAY!! I know my due date is still 2 weeks away but I am so ready for Landon to come! At my appointment about 2 weeks ago, the doctor checked me and said I was dilated 1 cm! The doctor said that it could mean he could come in the next little bit or in the next 3 weeks - but it's still exciting to know that progress is being made! :)

I am not sleeping well at all. Last night I had light contractions throughout the whole night and I guarantee I didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time. And I know the famous quote, "Oh just wait until the baby gets here......." Well as I told one of my friends, at least when he's here and I'm not getting any sleep I'll get to hold him and love on him instead of just being uncomfortable with a big 'ol belly! Ha! :)

Here's a picture Chad took this morning:

Showers!!

We had two awesome showers this past week! We are so blessed to have so many people care for Landon already! The first one was given by my co-workers at BB&T and the second one was given by our family. We have about 95% of everything we need for the little guy! It's wonderful! I could not say thank you enough to everyone that helped give the showers and bring the gifts! Here are a few pictures from the showers and also of Landon's room :) ...

First, the BB&T Shower:

Second, the McLeansville Shower:

I don't have many pictures from this shower yet - we forgot our camera - BUT we'll post some pictures of his room after we brought everything home...which by the way took dad's truck and our mazda! I'm sure i'll post some pictures later of the shower once I get them from people :) Oh and don't forget to check out the video of his room!

34 WEEKS!

WOW! I can't believe I'm already 34 weeks! The little guy is going to be here before we know it! Things are still going well :) They say I am measuring right on track and everything looks great! Still having back pains and just getting comfortable is a challenge now...but it'll all be worth it! I have been able to breathe a lot better lately - not sure if he dropped or what but it's amazing the difference!

Chad's doing great - he's ready to be a daddy! We have two showers coming up next week and we're both real excited about those! :)

Our Haley girl got sick with an ear infection - some type of bacteria and then an ear yeast infection too. Poor thing - we had to take her to the vet and get an antibiotic and ear drops and even some pain killers! She's been on meds for about a week now and is already doing much better :)

Oh and in other news - Chad and I got iPhones and are officially addicted. But on the plus side of this - I'm sure when Landon comes along it will be much easier to post pictures and videos of him for you all to view! :)

Speaking of pictures ...here I am at 34 weeks!





and me with Haley :)
And an update from babycenter.com says:
"Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which he'll need to regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies."
YAY how exciting!!! ...by the way I had to change the female references to male ;)

30 Weeks!!!

I can't believe I'm already 30 weeks! Things are going pretty well. My back is killing me, but other than that I really can't complain. I've had a great pregnancy. Landon is moving around a lot! He likes to make my belly "not so round" by moving all to one side or either sticking his head or butt out. It's fun to watch and interesting to feel. Sleeping is a task! Not doing so well at that ...once I finally get half way comfortable either I have to go pee or Landon wants me to move. And he sure lets me know by kicking or moving one side until I roll over. I tried to push back the other night and I lost. He's already getting his way. Well here's an updated picture from this morning!

Beach!

We went to the beach for a long weekend with Mom, Dad and Matt. Ava joined us half way. It was a lot of fun and I wish we could have stayed longer. It was Haley's first beach trip. She was a little scared of the ocean and I think she thought it was a little hot out there too. Here are a few pictures from the trip...

Haley's first visit on the beach!


ME around 28 weeks.

It's hot out here, Daddy.
