I think it might actually come!

I think there's a chance that this baby might actually come some day! I'm down to less than 3 weeks!!! We're as ready as we can be and now we just need this little guy to come. I packed my bags this weekend, so they are sitting next to the bedroom door ready to go. Its pretty exciting to know that the baby could come anytime and it would be just fine. It really helped to have all of the holidays to keep my mind occupied. Now that its so close it seems like the days are really long! Its not too bad, but I sure am ready to be done. I keep trying to remind myself that it will probably take longer than my due date, but it feels really good to be so close to the end. 

Well, I wasn't able to avoid the stretch marks. :( They aren't very bad, and I'm really hoping that they kinda go away after the baby comes. Its a pretty big bummer though. 

During Christmas break Claire and my mom got to go to the doctor with me. It was really fun because they got to hear the baby's heart beat. It was really great to have Claire and Ryan home for a little while. We spent a lot of time together and we had a lot of fun. We also had a really good time in Salem with the Austin's. Then we got to spend some time with Nick and Mandy at Bridgeport mall and that was wonderful. 

I'm posting a few more pictures. Don't be alarmed, I'm kinda huge!! I just sort of exploded over the last month or so. I'll put a picture of the nursery too. It still needs a few finishing touches, but its really close. James is working on a bookshelf, I'm making some rugs, and we are going to paint a few things on the walls. 

Probably the next time you hear from me I'll be a mom!! I love you all!
