Oh So Pregnant

So today marks my 38th week being pregnant. I can't believe I could have this baby at any time (technically). I love feeling Luke move inside of me, he is really active and almost hurts me. He pushes on me so hard sometimes and it kind of makes me jerk and wince. I have been pretty comfortable for a long time but just in the last week I feel like when I do too much then my body just almost shuts down. So now I am really wishing that I could be induced next week on the 5th instead of waiting for my Mom and everyone else to be here.
My due date is the 10th and my Mom doesn't come until the 11th. Adam prefers me to have the baby on the 12th because he doesn't want to have to go negative in his hours. Also Tiersa is out of town until the 12th in the evening. Collette goes out of town on the 14th, so basically if I don't have this baby on the 13th SOMEONE will be out of town. Which really stinks. I am really hoping that I am just going to go into labor on my own SOON, then I can't have anyone angry with me.
I have so much to do still though so two more weeks would be nice just to tie up loose ends. Here are some pics of the belly with 2 weeks left to go.

Adam hates that I always insist on taking 15 pictures even though I only need one, so I played it up like a photo shoot for him... I know I could never be a model cuz I feel and look silly posing.

Little stories

Okay, so I finally got around to getting a picture of this baby belly. This is me at 34 weeks pregnant with our #3 baby. He is so active and so hurty sometimes. I love to feel him kicking around unless it means he is kicking some vital organ of mine. Kevin and Katie are so excited about baby Luke and talk to my belly most every day.
I am now 36 1/2 weeks and can't believe how fast time has gone. I went to the doctor yesterday for my check up and so far I have only gained 15 pound this pregnancy which is GREAT!! I hate being a little overweight when I start my pregnancy, so I am glad my body doesn't blow up like a balloon when I am expecting. I think I gained the last 5 of those pounds just in the last week. I have opened the sweet tooth door and can't seem to shut it now. Ironic that I made it through the holidays without gaining a pound and now I am eating junk for no reason. I don't even like it that much I just keep telling myself that I do.


Funny little story... Katie has officially moved from her crib to her big girl bunk bed and she LOVES it. I have to admit she has done extremely well and her and Kevin go right to sleep every night. We have even tried both of them in there for naps and we have been successful both times. She has this mind set now that she is a big girl and when I slip and call her baby she corrects me. I was telling her not to do something the other day and used the phrase "no no baby" she strutted up to me and hit my belly while she said "Top it Baby Uke"!! She had no clue that I was telling HER to stop something, she thought I meant that baby Luke was kicking me inside. I couldn't stop laughing. I do know however that when this baby comes she is going to seem GIANT to me and calling her baby will be a thing of the past.
Other than the baby on his way and getting ready for him, we finally bought a couch that both of us agree on, the kids just got over a mild case of Pneumonia, and Adam has changed base offices so he gets to work more from home. We are happy, healthy and anxious for baby Luke to come.
