the eviction notice has been served!

38 weeks and the eviction notice has been served! No progress this past week so Kris & I decided that we would schedule an induction date the day after Mr. Max's due date. So he now has 11 days to come on his own or we're taking madders into our own hands! At least if he decides to wait he'll have his birthday fall on a holiday weekend. Who wouldn't love having a 3 day weekend each year on your birthday??

37 Weeks - Full Term!!!

I'm 37 weeks, which means the baby is full term and is welcome to come any day now. I have a feeling he's pretty happy where he's at and not quiet ready to celebrate his birthday just yet. I'm starting to feel contractions, the kind that stop you in your tracks. They usually go away if I sit down and there not consistant or to the point where I need to time them. We are down to weekly appointments now to track my progress. After the first exam last week, I would have been happy to never do that again. But six days have passed, contractions have started, my tail bone hurts - which means my hips are spreading and with all of this I'm looking forward to my next exam! I hope to hear there has been some type of progress.

Here is a photo of Kris & I are our friend Alison & Aaron's wedding this past weekend. It was a beautiful wedding. We're so happy for them!! I'll get another belly shot posted some time today!

My girlfriend Alison is getting married in May. Here's a photo of us from her shower this past weekend!!

32 weeks

He's getting bigger!!!

The following pictures were taken while getting dressed for work.

My hair is wet and I was tired.

Makes me tired just looking at it. I have no choice but to give into the demands of this baby. I can no longer work around the house nesting as much as I'd like. I find myself getting tired more quickly and sleep is not quiet as good as it use to be. I wouldn't change anything!

Here's what the baby center has to say about 32 weeks...

How your baby's growing:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (I know he weighs more than that!) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. (Yes, he's in my rib cage now) You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.

His Closet

After putting away all of the wonderful gifts from my shower, this is what Max's closet looks like. Max officially has more clothes then Kris & I have combined!!

Shower Photos

I was blessed to have a wonderful shower hosted by my family in my home. It's so nice to have so many special people in the same place. I love each and everyone of these women for different reasons; you have shaped me into who I am today.

Thank you!
