33 Weeks

Last weekend, my mom decided to come visit semi-last minute. It was awesome. We had such a great weekend! We got some great deals on some of the baby things that we still needed. I'm feeling like we are almost ready to go, with just a few more things that we still need. We got baskets and a hamper for the baby's room, a bouncy seat, and some other smaller things. My mom is awesome at getting deals. We went to a used store and ended up getting the bouncy seat brand new for $2 more than it was at the used store! I am feeling huge. My belly is getting harder and I think it's sticking out a lot more too. The baby is filling up all that space! This weekend, we got to relax, we did a lot of shopping, took some pictures, and my mom even made me pumpkin bread! I LOVE her pumpkin bread. We are so thankful to be blessed with such a wonderful family and have so many great friends.

I have tried to be on top of things for school. I have been getting my lesson plans done each Tuesday (so, yes...my lesson plans are done today for next week!) and I am also staying pretty caught up with my grades. This is a big deal because grades are due soon and it's the first time I haven't freaked out because I was so far behind. Today I felt (what I think was) Braxton Hicks a lot. The top and middle of my belly got REALLY hard and stayed that way for quite a while. This makes me feel like the baby will be coming so soon and makes me try even harder to stay on top of things. But, honestly...like I'm going to care when I'm in labor/have the baby. Still, it's nice not to have to worry about it.

We saw some really great costumes yesterday and some adorable kids when they came around trick-or-treating for Halloween. Chris and I sat out on the porch and passed out candy, which was enjoyable. I love passing out candy. Now, I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving! (I know, already...) Family is coming down and I am very excited to have it at our new house and have some great time with some of the family too!

Here are some pictures from this past weekend.


Relaxing with the baby!

So excited for the baby to come! On the left is our new bouncy seat!

A big belly is rough on my back!
Look how big my belly is getting!





Woah! Look at that thing!

She will be such a good big sister! She is being so gentle with my belly!
