35 Weeks! Really?

I know I say this each time I post but where is the time going? We are 35 weeks today! Yay! I cannot believe that within 5 short weeks our little guy will be here.

I have to say this week has been a tough one. I would say more physically, then mentally but nonetheless, tough. I cannot really pinpoint one particular reason but a combination of things. In taking a brief second to vent I must say I am tired, my body hurts, and I am ready for this last month or so to fly by. I am hoping Baby Gordon has no intentions of staying on board past 40 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I know he will come when he is ready and I want him to be healthy by all means but I am just so uncomfortable.

I find it interesting to hear how everyone I know has handled their last month of pregnancy and to hear how those who are going through it now with me are doing. From what I seen/heard, every experience is somewhat different but again never the most pleasant time of the pregnancy. Bottom line is that we all do it and make it through and it is just time to start trying to focus on the end result more then ever!

So, enough complaining.....What has been happening this week?????

My crazy nesting phase that lasted weeks is finally on the down slope this week. I still have odds and ends to get done but I think, we are almost done! That is until baby gets here. Then, I am sure we will never be done ;-) For now, I am taking a little break.

I went to my friend Krissy's baby shower on Sunday. She is due 8 days after me with a little boy too! It was a wonderful shower and like my shower there were several of expecting mommies there! It's always fun to meet and chat with ladies who are going through the same thing as you are.

We had our maternity photos taken yesterday! I am so excited to see how they turn out but it will be a few weeks before we actually see the finished product. I will of course share them as soon as we get them! I have to admit, I have not really felt that "glow" that everyone talks about through pregnancy and have not really felt great in general about my appearance BUT I really wanted to capture this moment in our lives. I will be happy if we get a few "keepers".

I am looking forward to a fun-filled weekend! Bill's birthday is tomorrow! Happy Early Birthday to my wonderful husband! We are planning to go on a birthday date on Saturday night to celebrate although the birthday boy has not decided where he wants to go yet......

We are continuing the fun on Sunday with friends for the Superbowl. Each year we try and do something fun for the Superbowl and we are continuing tradition this year by having some friends over for the big game!

Before I know it we will be back at the doctors office for our 36 week appointment and ultrasound! I am anxiously awaiting this visit to see how are baby is cooking :-)

Have a great weekend everyone!
