Week 35

32 days to go! We are coming up on the 4 week countdown! Unbelievable...and so very exciting! This weekend we went down to VA to celebrate my brother StephenMichael's 8th birthday...it's hard to believe 8 years have already gone by since he got here. Just another friendly reminder of how quickly time passes and how much we should appreciate and savor every single day we get.
Anyway - here are a few shots from the fun time we all had at Pump It Up...very cool place for kids I might add. And adults too :)
Stephen & Jess

Not so fast!

Jenn & Steve coming out of the obstacle course...

I had my fun too! :)

We headed home Saturday evening after watching a great attempt by Arkansas to upset the Gators...while it didn't happen it was a fun game to watch...Sunday Steve and I headed to the movies - something we know we won't be doing for a little while after LM arrives. :) After the movie we enjoyed a nice lunch and then ran all over the place for errands. While there are still lots of things we feel we need to get done over the next 4 weeks, the list is definitely getting shorter. As for what LM has been up to this week....there's not much room left in there now that he/she has reached over 18 inches long and is weighing in around 5 & 1/4 lbs! That's about the size of a honeydew melon:
While I am no longer feeling the crazy swirls of somersaults I am definitely still feeling lots of movement - just a little slower and a lot stronger! The kidneys of our little guy/gal are fully developed and the liver is now capable of processing waste. The physical development is complete so now the next few weeks are all about putting on weight! As for me - my once tiny uterus is now reaching up under my ribcage and I am made aware of that fact everyday! :) There is now more baby than amniotic fluid and all of my fabulous organs have been pushed to the side to accommodate our little one. Fine by me. :)

I am pretty tired by the end of the day but I am overall feeling great. I just wish I didn't have such a hard time putting socks on! :) This sudden blast of cooler weather while very happily received has made getting dressed a fun event. I feel like I am getting bigger everyday - I'm not sure if you can see it as well in my pics but I feel it! :) Steve and I are enjoying these last few weeks...they will pass all too quickly and soon enough we'll be sharing pics of our beautiful LM!

Ahh - so much to look forward to! :)

That's all for now...have a fantastic week! Love to all!
