Gestating in Germany

OK so I'll admit I stink really stink at this whole blog thing :( I am terrible at sitting down to the computer to do anything Smiley (other than maybe Pinterest) And nowadays my time is spent cleaning, organizing, decorating the baby room and did I mention cleaning? Nesting is real and it has really hit me hard.

So now I am 38 weeks and 3 days preggo and up until this week I probably could have gone on being pregnant forever and have not minded terribly (other than missing my Thursday night Trojas Margaritas.) I now know that this outlook is not common, most of the other girlies I have come across in the same condition are so ready for pregnancy to be over, between all the possible uncomfortable side-effects of pregnancy such as swelling, back pain, and acne (plus gasp... feet growing which I know is Kerry's nightmare LOL) much less the inevitable gigantic-ness that accompanies preggo-hood. Luckily for me I have not experienced much of that at all. My biggest complaint up until now has been rib pain and I have to say that I feel like I have gotten off pretty easy. (Of course that doesn't count the first 3 months of queasiness and the inability to be within 100 feet of chicken) Forrest has dubbed me a pregnancy "unicorn." But I think I am starting to feel the eviction notice coming on for this little man. 

This week I have gotten my first stretch marks, I fell down the stairs because I couldn't see my feet (I caught myself on the rail so we are fine), and I haven't been able to put on my own socks for weeks. For me, I am finally getting to the place where my anxiety to see this beautiful little boy out-weighs my fear of labor (and that is saying something, since I am a wimp).

Anyways... I think I owe you all some more baby bump pics. I know I haven't posted one since 23 weeks (and that has been a while ago). Sadly I have not taken them as often as I should have, but here's what I've got :)

Hope you guys enjoyed this post. If track record says anything you won't get another one for a few months :) 

-Just kidding... 
I hope 

We love you guys and appreciate all the thoughts and prayers!!
