Any Week Now...

3 1/2 weeks left to go until the due date of baby girl Larson!! This means starting on Thursday, I could have her at 37 weeks and she would be totally good to go. Unfortunately, I don't think she's coming any time soon, she seems to be content where she is and I'm just going to count on her coming close to on time. A few weeks ago at my doctor's appt. he said she was pretty small and he thinks if I go full term then she'll be about 7 lbs. which I am good with!!! However, I have grown A LOT in the past few weeks so we'll see about his guesstimation. Luckily if I go over my due date 4 days I will be induced because my COBRA health insurance ends May 31st (perfect timing, right?) so I need to be in and out of the hospital for sure by that date so it is covered by that amazing teacher insurance that I've had. So... the point is I will not be prego for more than 4 more weeks max!!!

We are getting so excited for her to come. She is moving like a crazy lady in there, is getting REALLY strong, and definitely thinks she can kick and poke and knee her way out of me! She still gets hiccups AT LEAST once a day, her max per day so far has been 4 times. I'm pretty sure she is still head down which means at this point (thank goodness) she's probably not about to turn. As far as names go, we seriously won't know until we meet her. We have a few in mind, but can't/won't decide until she's here. Andrew and I are both pretty stinkin' undecisive so the name thing should be pretty interesting... hopefully we'll figure it out not too long after she's here.

It's interesting how when you're prego everyone you see has the same first question for you: how are you feeling? Well, to answer that question I've felt totally normal/perfect/wonderful until about 1 week ago. Lately it is definitely hard to sleep, only because I have a constant back pain that never goes away. I guess I'm just getting prepared for her to come and keep me up all night!! But it's all good, I have seriously had THE EASIEST pregnancy, so I really have no complaints. Also, funny quick fact: Andrew has thrown on some sympathy pounds for me, I've gained 23 so far and he's gained 15!! I thought all that symphathy pound junk was just a myth, but I guess it really happens. Anyway, I'll stop blabbering and post a pic from today at 36 1/2 weeks...

Baby Shower & Andrew's B-day

A few weeks ago, we had my baby shower. It was truly perfect!! Thank you everyone for your thoughtful gifts and support. I'd especially like to thank Kristy, Meg, and Mel for putting so much time and effort into making it a wonderful day... I love you girls!! I'm so lucky to have such wonderful friends. Here are a few (or maybe more than a few!!) pics from the shower:

The beautiful decorations (notice the diaper cake that Kristy made), the presents, and the food!!

We played a crazy game where different candies were smooshed into diapers to look like poop...We had to guess which candy was in each diaper!

I love Erin's face in this one!!

Opening presents...

My mom flew in from Chicago and stayed for a couple of days

Melanie talks to baby Larson all the time...

Hannah's "prego belly"

Last week Andrew turned 28. We celbrated with ice cream cake, presents, and a movie. He doesn't look even close to 28...We both get 18 all the time, when people come to our door they ask "Is your mom or dad home?" Haha!

7 Weeks & Counting...

Here are a few more shots from a few days ago at 32 1/2 weeks. Only 7 weeks to go now. Woohoo!!! I'm sure it will go fast though I've heard this last little while is the slowest part of pregnancy. I had my 32 week doctors appointment today, and everything looks good. Our little Larson girl is head down right now, so hopefully she'll stay that way....
