A blurry doctor's office selfie because I was too tired to manage anything else this week plus I blame the rain. |
Food cravings: Thanks to Anne I've been craving chocolate milkshakes. :)
Movement: He's been moving around and whenever my stomach gets tight I think...am I going to start contracting now? Is he coming soon? I hope so! Never in my life have I been more excited to endure pain. Is that weird that I'm not nervous about labor?
Symptoms: My back still hurts and my belly button can't decide if it wants to stay in or pop out. It's a little late in the game for it to be popping out right?

Nursery: I finally took some pictures of the nursery now I just have to make time to upload them and actually do a blog post.
Prayer for Baby:
Dear Aiden,
I am so anxious for you to get here I can't even stand it. Your car seat is installed, inspected by the fire department and waiting for you. I so badly want to hold you and just look at you. Your Dad and I can't wait to meet you!!!! Please come soon.
Love,
Your Mama
Dear Lord,
I have never anticipated something so much in my life. Everyday I wake up and think, is today the day I get to meet my son? I know you know when he is coming and it's already planned perfectly so help me to soak up these last few hours/days/weeks of having Aiden kicking around inside me. Amen

I can't get over your coworkers! How sweet are they?! You're getting so, so close!
Eek! So close- I'm so stinking excited for you! That was so sweet of your co-workers to do for you. What a blessing to work with such great people. Praying for you and your boys in the coming weeks, Mama :)
That's amazing! You will enjoy those weeks with Aiden. And that's so great you're going into labor with this excitement rather than fear - you're going to do great. Can't wait to see the nursery... hope he holds off arriving just long enough for you to post it, ha.
Also, you're welcome again :)
