35-34

Happy Thursday.

35 weeks...34 days to go! We only have 34 days until our DUE DATE! 34!!!! And we should just call it 33 because as far as I'm concerned - the day is almost over.

I feel like we still have so much to do around the house in preparation for his arrival, but I know he won't care if the hardwood floors are in or if his bookcase isn't completely decorated yet - but it's things like these that make me feel better calm if they are done before he arrives.

I'm waiting for my new (work) laptop to arrive - and I'll be able to get my home office set up. I'm hoping to get some things around the house done this weekend. I have my girlfriends baby shower on Saturday - and on Sunday, we are planning to do a little shopping. Stew and I might hit the outlets - he needs new sneakers...and Mama needs some shopping therapy.

This past weekend, Stew was good enough to put together all of the baby stuff we got - including the BOB, swings and seats. I put away and washed everything. Nate helped too.

He's so curious

Checking everything out

A quick story about Nate - I was in the dining room, going through some of the gifts. Stew and Nate were putting together the swing. All of a sudden, I look over at Nate, thinking to myself "oh he's so good, just laying in his bed" - oh no! Not quite. He got ahold of one of the small stuffed animal lambs that goes on the swing. It was soaked with drool and nasty. I put it in the washer - and it looked like new. I think we are going to have some Nate vs. Baby G toy confusion.

Last night we attended my brother in laws High School wrestling banquet. He's the head coach and the season is coming to an end - so he hosted a "non-school" affiliated awards night. It was such a great event and he did an amazing job! Well done, Timmy! I'm so glad we could be there.

Today, I had a busy morning - work wise. Now I'm looking at the clock wondering where the day went. I did manage to sneak in a call with Leanne, a visit from Stew and this post.

Yesterday - Stew and I had a lunch date while I got my tires rotated. And tomorrow I have another lunch date - with my Mom. In my defense though - I'm lucky enough to have lunch at a clients restaurant (amazing restaurant)...I need to pick up a few things from him. What better way to end the week. *And Mom, I'm dreaming of the day when I can have a martini with you...yes, at lunch. Don't judge. :)

So back to the 35 week update:

• Week: 35! (5 weeks until my due date)
• Baby: still doing great. A lot of movement, some are still scaring me. They are a lot bigger and harder movements and rolls. 
• Sleep: it's getting a little better. I'm still very thirsty at night. 
• Food: still the same. I'm not overly hungry - just can't cook chicken or steak.
• Looking forward to: EVERYTHING...but mostly that day when I go into labor. 
• Complaints: Nothing! Still loving it. 
• Next Appointment: Wednesday - then I have an appointment every week until he arrives!

As you can see - Nate is my shadow lately

And finally - this picture below didn't come out the way I wanted, but after looking in the background, you'll see why I posted it. Nate's little head poking up. He is always right by my side, checking out what I'm doing. I really think he knows it's getting close. He breaks my heart sometimes. 

Happy {almost} Weekend!
