35/36 Weeks

So, two weeks from tomorrow...our boy will be here!  Eeeek!  I'm starting to feel the...pressures, shall we say...of impending child birth.  And by pressures, I mean it hurts to walk, sit, stand and lie down.  My hips and pelvis just ache.  I don't recall this kind of pain with Madeline.  But, at the end of the day, it's truly the only thing I have to complain about. No swelling, I'm actually sleeping pretty well and still feel pretty decent overall.  And it's all worth it in the end...I believe in my heart of hearts that this is an answered prayer.  God's way of easing my anxiety about the approaching surgery and getting me ready!

We're still enjoying watching Benjamin stretch and push limbs of all sorts out of my tummy.  I went to the doctor this week and all still looks great.  I'm up 30 lbs. and still measuring right on track.  

Derek and I have started really getting things ready.  We've brought down the bouncy seat and set up the crib and bassinet.  We've washed clothes and put them away.  And this weekend, we tackle Christmas.  Full nesting mode!  

The Benjamin countdown is in full effect!
