38 weeks!

It has been 9 weeks since my last post and oh what a nine weeks this has been! I had a beyond AMAZING baby shower, 3 of my aunties came in town with my little sister and cousin. I was blessed with EVERYTHING that I need and then some, I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life!!!!

Entering into the 3rd trimester has been quite a whirlwind... gone are the days of washing the floors on my hands and knees, hello to barely being able to bend over. I can't complain much as I can still see the wrinkle on my toes at the end of the day, I have not fallen victim to cankles and I can still manage to breathe pretty easily, except when Owen seems to get jealous of me holding his little cousin, he likes to then take residence in my left ribs. I do have a new friend named acid reflux, who I hope doesn't stick around past this baby of mine's arrival, there also are a number of JOUOUS things that happen at this stage that everyone failed to mention to me, I will spare you the AWESOME details. 

I actually felt pretty fine until about a week ago, I went on a cleaning/nesting spree where I washed every blanket, burp cloth, washcloth, towel, article of clothing this baby owns (there are many), I also wiped every scuff mark away, cleaned the baseboards, vacuumed, and cleaned the floors in his room. I organized and put away everything and then scrubbed the bathtub, cleaned out the bathroom closet and organized Owen his own little shelf, he has enough baby wash to last his many, many months! I will post pictures soon.... This cleaning spree went on from 4- 3 am, there was a break for dinner in there, but not much of one, after this my body has never felt the same.

I am so excited to meet his baby, I wonder whether he will look like me or Adam, at his first ultrasound his profile was just like Adam's, I wonder if he's changed? Does he have chubby cheeks like my sweet nephews and a baby Adam had? Will he be born with a head full of hair like me? Will he have blue or hazel eyes? Will he be quiet or a crier? I wonder if he will sleep with his arm above his head and another in his mouth like he always was in every ultrasound we saw of him. I imagine him to be a cuddler and I hope I am right! 

I had dinner at my friend's house and it was a DELICIOUS dinner and nothing out of the ordinary, I ended up in the bathroom the majority of the night with nothing left in my insides and am still feeling a bit awful, oh yes and I am the only one this happened to... either this is he return of morning sickness, or this is the beginning of the end, I stay up all night wondering if it is going to happen tonight! I am the person who tells you what your birthday present 3 weeks before its your birthday because Im too excited, and I cant stand a surprise, so imagine how I feel when I hear over and over again everyone's stories about how sick they got before they went into labor, every twinge of pain I pray is a contraction, so far no such luck:( I am going to go to bed and hope perhaps tonight could be the night?
