Less than a month left!!

Congratulations Jacki and Jake!!! The wedding was beautiful and you both looked amazing!!! We're so happy for you guys! :) I don't think it could have gone more perfectly! Venily is still asking for "more wedding party!". I can't wait to see your pictures!


And now that we don't have the wedding to look forward to anymore, it seems that my due date is coming even faster! Less than 1 month left!! Ahhh!

35 WEEKS!!! 88% DONE!!! :)

I was seriously worried that I might have been in labor last night! I definitely had Jason worried too! :) I was having LOTS of strong Braxton Hicks contractions for over 4 hours straight and Haven never once stopped moving around like a lunatic the entire time- I figured she wanted out in time for Jacki and Jake's wedding!! She was so crazy and my ribs were actually in pain! haha. Until I read this... (Venily at 35 weeks pregnant). I think Haven is a lot crazier than Venily though. I am so scared that she is going to be a difficult baby. I couldn't do anything to get her to settle down yesterday and I just kept thinking "thank god she's not crying right now"!

Here are my 35 week pics (don't worry, I no longer go out in public in my swimming suit!):



At 35 weeks pregnant:
*I am at 141 lbs (+21 lbs total gain)
*I get agitated soooo easily!! I don't like to blame things on being pregnant, but I'm sure that I have a much better patience level while not pregnant!
*My back KILLS me!! This baby is GIANT! And the house and laundry refuse to clean themselves...


On my list of things to do today now that I'm 35 weeks:
*Pack up everything I can in my labor bag and finish up my list of things that need to be packed right before
*Get the bassinet set up and cleaned and ready to go! (I wonder what Jason will say when he gets home from work... haha. After last night, I think he'll be fine with it!)


Not much longer to go....!!!

September 18, 2007!!!! (35 weeks, 5 days pregnant w/ Venily)


Picture: 35w, 2d



It's the 18th today, which means that there is exactly one month until my due date!!! Which is awesome because I think I'm officially ready to not be pregnant any more, lol! Jason says not to say that b/c he still needs a few weeks to get everything together like getting our roof finished up and stuff! But I am so ready! Venily is ready too- she wants OUT, ha ha! She's been kicking so hard lately that I'm surprised she hasn't broken free! Her foot sometimes literaly sticks out like 3 inches, then she'll pull it back in and I'll push on it and she'll stick it out again! It's so cute, but I thought Jason was going to be sick when I was showing him! LOL, he's funny- I can't wait to see him when I'm delivering her!!

I'm really hoping that when they check me next Monday that I've started dialating or showing some signs that labor will start soon- I can't even imagine going to my due date (or later- oh my gosh!)! I'm not sure if she's dropped yet, but I'd like to think so- I'm not very good at judging stuff like that! I want to see her and hold her so badly!!! Hopefully I only have a few short weeks left!

September 13, 2007 (35 weeks pregnant w/ Venily)



I'm 35 WEEKS TODAY!!!!!
Only 35 days left until Venily's due date and only 14 days until she's full term!!! I've been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions (I believe- I've been having them since I was about 20 weeks) and had them pretty bad last night, making it really hard to sleep! It's so exciting- I've been dreaming about being this pregnant for a long time and now I finally am!!!!

Here's what she looks like this week:
