| 35 weeks pregant (taken on Easter) |
I have officially entered my final month of pregnancy, it is so crazy that the baby could be here at any time. I have a feeling I am going all the way to the end. Ryan feels I will go early. Layla's prediction is May 7th (we had her point to a day on the calendar when Ryan and I were making our predictions). We will see whose guess is the closest.
The nursery is done and the carseat is in but our bags are not quite all the way packed yet. I wanted to get them done on Sunday but I came down with the stomach flu. I think my body wanted to get sick a little more during this pregnancy :)
I had a doctor's appointment today and all was well. The baby is still head down and estimated to be 6lb 1oz and he looked very cozy and smushed on the ultrasound. He was drinking quite a bit of amniotic fluid while we were watching him which explains the constant hiccups I am feeling. Everything else went fine and my body is starting to make a little progress. My hopes are up a bit that he may not arrive a week late on Layla's birthday....but you just never know.
In other baby news, some of my sweet friends (Kayte, Nicole, Anni & Tara) threw me a sprinkle at a local tea room this past weekend. It was such a nice afternoon chatting with the girls and celebrating baby Grady but I forgot to take even one picture. Thank you girls so much for the fun lunch and thoughtful gifts for Mr. Grady.
Layla seems really excited about the arrival of the baby. Today, she helped me pack her bag for when she goes to stay with grandma and grandpa when the baby comes. She is fascinated by the "baby coming out" process and asks quite a few questions. She told Ryan tonight, "Mommy going to push the baby out" and she followed this with a grunting noise :) Layla talks to my belly often and brings toys to my belly for Grady to "play" with. She told me she is going to help with diapers and likes to talk about how she is going to feed him. I am hoping that nursing goes smoothly and that I can pump early on so Layla can help feed him with some bottles. We will see how everything really goes once the baby is a reality.
That is the baby update, only 4 more weeks until the due date!!!

Hello my family--

What a beautiful pregnancy shot! Layla is going to be such a great big sister. How cute that she is so interested!! Not much longer mama, can't wait!!!
I love the "push the baby out" conversation. We had one of those recently where my son told me "When I was a baby you pushed me out and I said 'I want back in!'" So funny how their little minds wrap around this whole process!
