Ready.

I am so unbelievably ready for our babe to be here. Not only for the fact that he's squishing my lungs to the point where doing anything other than sitting/laying down, leaves me completely gasping for breath. Pretty obnoxious. I'm also ready to meet him :) Now that we're almost 100% ready for him to come. Of course, we really need the carseat, but I don't think that's going to be a problem. I wonder when he will come, it's nuts that there's the chance that he could be here next week, or the week after.. etc. I think once you're 34 weeks, if you go into labor..they let the baby come. I'm 32 today. Holy moly, THIRTY TWO WEEKS! 40 is full term, I am ALMOST there! The second I go into labor, I am going to freak out, I know it. So scary. Our lives are going to change so much. I'm scared, but so excited. Watching Travis put together the baby swing today had me teary eyed.. that soon, I will be watching him put OUR son in that swing.. and getting to watch him be a Daddy. I'm excited :)

It annoys me so much, when people have to put in their stupid comments about parenting.. about how tired I'm going to be.. or how miserable I'm going to be, etc. Personally, I think that's very rude to say to someone who is close to delivering their first baby... why be negative? I'm not a moron, who thinks that parenting is just going to be a breeze.. clearly, I know that my sleep isn't going to come first, or that I won't be able to just do whatever.. my husband and I wouldn't have had unprotected sex if I was really that concerned about it. (lol) In like 3 weeks I'm going to be 28 years old (I'm not a kid). CLEARLY, when my son is here.. I will KNOW how parenting is.. why say negative things? I want to look forward to my son being here, I don't want people to say things to me and make me not want him. (not that I would, but what reason do they have for even being negative?) Of course things aren't going to be a skip in the park, but I have an amazing husband here to help me with everything.. not to mention, neither of us are working at the moment... we will have it easier than 95% of new parents. End rant. :)

This past weekend, we went to California for my second and last baby shower. It was pretty awesome. Travis' moms friend let us have it at her house.. cutest house ever! We got so much stuff. Had some people just not show up of course, and one bail last minute. I just don't get people sometimes! Meh. Maybe I'm so overly hormonal, my feelings just get hurt too easily. Anyway - aside from getting a lot.. we didn't get much off the registry.. so we have quite a few things left that we have to get.. however, I didn't really expect my shower guests to shell out $200 for the big ticket items that we need (and want). I'm actually pretty excited that I'll be able to pick my own things out now :) Mostly, clothes! I think he also has a huge plethora of stuffed animals, which I love.. haha.. hopefully he loves stuffed animals as much as I did when I was little :-D

OH! My ultrasounds! I almost forgot :) We went to our first one with our doctors office on Thursday, full scan of the baby.. he's right on target.. the nurse said he was perfect.. he also has a full head of hair and if he's full term and continue to grow at the same rate, he should be about 7 lbs. at birth. I think that guestimate is always high.. I could be wrong though. I'm thinking that he for sure isn't going to be full term, I think he will be early. My moms side of the family has had all of their babies anywhere from 2-7 weeks early! I think part of me is secretly hoping he comes at least a little early ;) Just so long as he's ready, I'm ready! Besides, if he's a little smaller than 7 lbs.... that will be much better on my body when he comes out LOL!  We also had our 3d/4d the next day in CA.. it was SO exciting seeing all of his expressions and everything.. it's crazy!!! I can't tell if he looks more like me, or more like Travis.

I shouldn't wait so long to blog..then my entries become wayyyy too long. yikes. I'll leave you guys with some pictures :)
