8.5 Months Wooooo Hoooooo

My friend Kelly took some fun maternity pictures to document the baby belly. :) We're still going through them and doing the editing but so far these are a few of my favorites.

My doctor said baby is head down, but there's no guarantee he'll stay that way. His kicking is crazy hard and seems to be focused on my right side. I swear it looks like an alien has taken over when he gets going, even Ted gets weirded out sometimes. The active baby is strong enough to keep me up at night, and he's given me some fun back pain. For the most part I love everything about this bonding timed and I'm getting more excited to meet and hold him. The closer it gets the more anxious and nervous I become.

Our classes continue to be great and so helpful. Only one more week of the birthing class then it's all the other miscellaneous classes I've got us signed up for. I feel like time is slowing down a bit, but I'm stunned at how fast the past 8 months has gone by. I'm looking forward to the upcoming events this next month and half holds.

Bring on the crafts and sunshine!

This last weekend I finally started working on some of my great craft projects. Thanks to my momma's help the crib bumper pads are DONE!

The bassinet is together and cleaned up in our room. It's over a hundred years old! My great grandma got it used for my grandpa and his brother when they were babies, it's since been passed down to my nana to use for her 4 kids (my dad the oldest of the 4), and all 4 kids have used it for their babies (me being the oldest of 9 grandbabies to use it). I'm feeling a lot closer to being ready for baby- as far as baby gear is concerned... lol!

The weekend was overall awesome. Saturday I was supposed to get a prenatal massage with my mom but they messed up on my appointment so I had to go back Sunday, lucky for me it was comped for the mistake! :) While I waited for mom on Saturday I treated myself to a nice pedicure (minus the foot massage). At the craft store I got the supplies to make a wedding stuff scrapbook, something I thought would be good for when my maternity leave starts, and I also got the stuff to make some oh so cute bibs. Sunday was so beautiful we went for two walks and ventured over to the park. I'm on the countdown for April 5th, the day my leave starts, spring fever is kicking in..
