Updates

I looked at my blog, and realized the header was way out of date... six miscarriages seems so long ago, when we're now at 8, and have this surprise, successful pregnancy!

Well, I'm at 34 weeks.  And this baby boy is big, or feels big.  Maybe just long.  I've had several ribs dislocated by him, and thankfully my doctor is a D.O. and is happy to do minor adjustments to get them back in place.

I'm feeling a bit more prepared to bring Little Bear home. Because we are moving so soon after his birth (within 2 months), we're not making up a 'room' for him here.  He'll stay in our room in a pack and play for that time, and once we get into our new house, we'll get the crib, pick the theme, etc. However, that also means that we don't have any furniture for him yet, or a place to put the things we've gotten ready for his arrival   My Mom came into town a few weeks ago, and we pulled out all of Isaac's newborn and 0-3 month clothes, and the cloth diapers that I ordered for him have come in.  We found some of the 3 drawer plastic bins that we were able to empty out, and put in our closet with all of Little Bear's things.  Now I at least feel like we can bring him home, and be somewhat organized... somewhat!

Isaac is of course the same amazing little boy he has always been.  I'm afraid he has NO idea what is going to happen in just a few short weeks, and I'm treasuring these last weeks that he's my only son, making sure I spend extra time with him, trying to soak up the moments of just the two of us.

We've had some warmer weather in the past week, so have taken several trips up to our subdivision's park, where he has discovered the joy of the slide.

Daddy also found a ladybug, at first he wasn't so sure, but once it started crawling on him, he was all smiles!

We had a maternity shoot from the same photographer that did our family pictures several years ago and Isaac's newborn pictures, I can't wait to see those, and I'll post them when I get them!

We did another shoot at our CrossFit box with a friend of mine.  I wasn't sure how much I would like doing them, because most of them are of me with a bare stomach, and I'm still pretty self conscience about showing that much skin.  I'm glad it was with a friend, because she made it a lot of fun, and by the end, I had the confidence to show off my big belly!

We're still in the process of editing most of them still, but here is one that is my favorite.  The chalk handprint's are Travis.
