35 Weeks

I haven't done a very good job on tracking my pregnancy with this blog. It is probably because I don't have much time to think about it because of the other little person in this picture. But there are actually a few other reasons as well.
This pregnancy has actually felt almost identical to when I was pregnany with Zayne. Overall, I don't have hardly anything to complain about, but honestly being pregnant is not my most favorite thing. I actually enjoy giving birth and the sleepless nights more than the actual being pregnant - I know weird. I think with this pregnancy as well, I have struggled a little with God's timing vs. my timing and feeling overwhelmed with having 2 and only 18 months apart. For the first 3 months I was pregnant I had no idea. Then the next 3 months I spent slightly in denial and shock, the last 3 I have been slowly adjusting, adapting, preparing, and growing into the idea that we ARE going to have another little boy in less than a month now.
The funny part is that without me realizing it, I have fallen in love with this little guy. Even though I don't like being pregnant or the timing of it all - I really like, no LOVE, this little person inside me. I can't wait to meet him (and have him stop kicking my ribs), love him, and have him join our little family. We have the coolest name picked out and I can't wait to officially give it to him. It will be so fun to watch Zayne become a big brother and to watch the two of them become buds.
I have been in a major nesting phase the last few weeks - my poor hubby, who has been amazing in putting up with all my silly little things that "have" to get done NOW. I also have had the wonderful help of awesome friends and a great Mom who have come and helped me clean, organize, and prepare meals. Another huge, unexpected blessing was a shower that was thrown for me by one of my new best friends Maggie and our Church Grand Ledge Baptist. I got some adorable WARM clothes and a few other items that we either borrowed and had to give back or things that I never had, but wished, I did with Zayne.
I am feeling so much better about having another one, which is probably good since he really could come anytime now. I have contractions on and off for about an hour almost everyday these days and I think the little guy is getting anxious to come meet the world.
I will try and post a few more belly shots before I have him.
