40.5 weeks pregnant

Yes, I am still pregnant (grooooooooooan). Baby Luke, come out already! I have been having lots of contractions and labor symptoms in the past day, but nothing definite. I pray that is happens soon. I am so excited to meet my little boy! Being not pregnant anymore would be a big plus too, haha. Luke, stop being stubborn and come meet your mama!

39 weeks

I have a lot of changes this week. All of a sudden I have gone from thinking I could last for a few more weeks to feeling like this baby better come out RIGHT NOW, haha. My contractions are so bad at night and I am suddenly so uncomfortable. My belly feels hard as a rock and soooo heavy. Luke has been so quiet and subdued as well. None of the big kicks or pushes I am so used to. I feel like he is realllly big in there! It is all about the waiting game now......anytime you are ready, Luke!

Nathan is so cute with my belly. He tries to share his snack with the baby (poking me in the tummy with a graham cracker yesterday), stacks blocks on it, says good morning to it, and always gives it great big raspberries. I can't wait to see how he reacts to his little brother in person!

surprise

I had all kinds of plans today to finish up all my errands and organizing to get ready for the baby. My mom and I hit a bunch of stores this morning and got a ton of shopping done. I was hungry so I wanted to stop for Mexican for lunch. I called Mike and told him to go ahead and eat without me because mom and I were grabbing something out. He all of a sudden was insistent that I come home instead! He asked me to bring home something to eat. I was so confused and pissed off to tell you the truth. I am not used to him being so bossy or caring what the heck I do for lunch. I stopped by Wendy's and got 5 orders of chicken nuggets (for all of us) grumbling the whole time that I really wanted enchiladas, haha.

Anyway, I get home and am ready to chew Mike out for being so rude and I open the door to find a surprise baby shower! I was so shocked! It was great to see everyone. There was a ton of food and great decorations. I put the Wendy's out for everyone to share too, lol, as a nugget platter. ;-)

We played baby bingo and everyone guessed how big my belly was by cutting lengths of tape. My 6 year old cousin, Anna, picked perfectly!!! Almost everyone else was way over, haha.

I got a ton of great presents. Everyone was so generous! I got a Triumph carseat, papasan swing, diapers and wipes, nursing pjs, bath stuff, clothes, blankets, personalized bibs and burp cloths, and muchhhh more! I am so excited.
