A month to go - 36 weeks

36 weeks

You know you're pregnant when your maternity clothes start to become too small.

Love you

We had a midwife apt last week, and baby PJ did fantastic as always. Strong heartbeat, and measuring right on track! I brought up a few aches and pain concerns with her and each one was perfectly normal. That is great and everything, but at the same time there wasn't much she could do to help me ease my hip pain, or my sore knuckles.

A gorgeous evening for a beach picnic

Sheldon and I have been trying to keep busy the past week. We are both feeling like we don't want to stick around the house because time goes too slow. We have been going for lots of walks, bbqing dinner at the beach, and yesterday we even headed to the ocean for a small hike and we spent some time looking in the tide pools seeing what kind of ocean critters we could see! 

We are so grateful the weather has been fantastic. Not only has it been sunny, but it's been warm too! This not only allows me to enjoy doing things outside (which helps pass the time), but I'm also able to wear my summer dresses longer, and they are waaaaay more comfortable than maternity pants!

The biggest baby thing we did this weekend, was put the car seat in the truck. We want to get my uncle John to make sure it's installed correctly because he's a firefighter and certified to install car seats! We still need to pack our hospital bags. We know what we are bringing and PJ's things are all organized and just waiting to be put in.

I've been trying to capture PJ's crazy flips and turns on video the past week, but it doesn't show on the screen very well. Needless to say I am constantly amazed at how forceful the movements can be, and the shapes my tummy can be become as PJ gets comfortable.

We have finally reached October, and I'm getting more and more excited to meet this little baby every day! Until that day comes, I will continue to enjoy the special moments with Sheldon and I will take full advantage of napping when I feel the need.
