According to my doctors appointment today, Jackson should be here before the weekend is over. I couldnt been more excited!
Dear Jackson,
It's almost time to meet you. I've been counting down the days and looking so forward to the time we'll spend together. The thoughts of seeing you in the coming days brings me so much joy!I LOVE YOU!

Sweet Summertime
This weekend was so fantastic. Certainly got a lot more done than i'd planned on.
Friday night I decided I was completely sick of our washed out garden bed, so Joshua and I went to lowes on a mission; Flowers and mulch! We also found some cute chairs for the front porch so I sat out and watched him as he planted the flowers and spread the mulch. He did a great job and I was so lucky to have him do that.
Saturday night we went to my moms house for a birthday dinner since my birthday is this week. It's great as always to spend time with family and I love seeing my niece and nephews. Thinking about bringing my son into this world definitly makes me realize how loud our family dinners will be now. With four grandkids under the age of 3, its going to be crazy! (in the best of ways!)
Usually at least once or twice (sometimes more) a week, my husband and I like to go to starbucks and just sit in the big plush chairs, with coffee in hand just relaxing and talking. It's become one of our favorite things to do. We know that it won't be long before its not so easy to just go out as often as we feel like it. We're trying to make the most of our time together before our little one arrives.
Sunday, my mother-in-law threw us a shower. It was great b/c it was just family and I much preferred it over a big ordeal. We got alot of really great things that we wanted and needed!
How far along? 37 1/2 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: About 30 lbs, sometimes a little more if i've just eaten alot
Stretch marks? Unfortunately, hopefully they'll go away after the baby *fingers crossed*
Best moment this week: Dialating to a full 2 cm
Symptoms: Fingers and leg/feet swelling...It's this summer heat for sure!
Movement: It's slowing down alot, at least he's out of my ribs now :)
Food cravings: Mexican and southwestern
Sleep: I've just been getting so hot while sleeping. Last night I took the boppy and layed down on the floor and slept, no blanket, for about an hour. Having to pee about every 2 hours in the middle of the night.
Belly Button in or out? Still way out there
What I miss: Being confortable, balanced hormones
What I am looking forward to: His arrival!!!
Milestones: Almost being through with our birth and baby classes, being 70% effaced, and 2 cm dialted!
