Technically 4 weeks left...

Hey everybody, I am technically now only 4 weeks away form my due date, however I had a dr's appointment yesterday and found out that I am already two cm dialated and should expect the baby to be coming earlier then my due date. The doctor told me that standing for work all day isn't a good idea so I decided instead of picking and choosing clients I would avoid problems and people getting upset and just go off work until after Noah is born. So I am now on pregnant lady vacation...if you want to call it that..lol. Right now I am not sleeping well and yesterday ended up with a very bad cold so I am going to try to get some rest over the next few days and see if I can perk back up a little bit. Thank you everybody for all the encouragement, I will keep everybody posted.

This is a 35 week pregnant picture and an 8 week pregnant picture. I can't believe that in months an entire baby can grow in your body it's crazy. It's amazing how God has designed our bodies to know how to house and feed a baby while it grows for nine months and created a baby from two seperate people that can grow and develop and recognize voices and interact with you even while it's still inside your body. It's crazy to think how miraculous and amazing every single baby is and even from conception how precious a single little life is.

The picture mom thinks is just sooo funny...

Here is a picture my mom took last weekend. She thinks it's hysterical so she requested that I put it up on my blog so here you go everyone : ) This is how H U G E I am...lol

35 Weeks...that means only 5 weeks left!

Hey everybody
I am now 35 weeks pregnant and time will hopefully keep flying by because I have had enough! As blessed and thankful as I am to be meeting Noah soon and having this baby I am still getting tired of all the waddling and not being able to tie my own shoes! But spring is in the air, work is going well and the doctor says that I most likely wont make it another 5 weeks which means SOON! He said to have bags packed and ready by two weeks from now so I will be ready and waiting : )

Almsot Ready!

I am 34 weeks pregnant now so there is less then 6 weeks left. We were advised to have our bags packed in less then two weeks just in case so we are slowly trying to pull all of that stuff together the best we can. Yesterday I bought the foam that will be the mattress for the cradle that was passed down to me from my family. I got it all cut into shape and put the cover on it and now we have the cradle ready in our room. Also, yesterday my mom bought us a collapsable crib to use upstairs when we are up there and while Colin is on nights shifts so the baby wont wake him up. My friend Jordan and I put it together last night and it is really exciting to see the house turn into a baby friendly area and have baby stuff everywhere. We are getting closer and closer to being ready and 6 weeks will fly by. I have been feeling well but have been finding it harder to work long hours on my feet and I have been having braxton hicks contractions all day every day for almost a week now so we'll see what the doctor has to say about that tomorrow. Things are great, thank you to everyone for the help and encouragement it is really great and we appreciate you all so much.

Happy Birthday Erika!

Today is my sister in law's birthday! I just wanted to wish her the very best and hope she has a wonderful day today.

Happy Birthday Erika! Not long now until you come home. Have a fun birthday weekend and maybe you should wear that dress that is so versatile, you never know what could happen on a birthday weekend so you need to be prepared for anything...lol!
We love you and are proud of you : )
Dana and Colin (Noah too)

33 Weeks Preggie...7 weeks left

Well, I am now 33 weeks pregnant which means I only have 7 weeks left to go. My brother Norm says, "I am going to explode." (oh dear) So far the pregnancy has gone well and I am still able to work and keep up with clients. We are in the precess of putting the finishing touches on Noah's room and pretty soon we will have to start thinking about getting packed and making sure we have done all the final checks. Thats the update so far....thank you everyone fro the support and encouragement.
