{due date}

Oh, hey there due date.
Didn't think I'd be meeting you.
Any chance you could be accurate?
I'd sure like to meet my little babe now.
Thanks.

{39 weeks}




Here we are folks. 39 weeks along.
Honestly, I hope that this is the last pregnancy picture that you see of me.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if I was writing a 42 week preg post. 

I'm not quite as anxious to get this little mister out of me as I was with Brody.
I think I am embracing the last days of a single child... a normal routine.
Plus, I really don't feel that bad. 
Yes, I am obviously huge, and I am still not sleeping well at all, 
but... I feel pretty good most of the time.
AND, my abs are as hard as they've ever been. Rock solid.

I would give you some baby stats, but all you need to know is that he is ready to come out.
Well... at least physically.
He seems pretty comfy otherwise.



In other news, Brody has started calling me "Mom" instead of "Mommy" on occasion.
And with a little attitude none the less.
Not quite sure what to think of this... Brody thinks it is hilarious though. 
My current favorite things he says though... "ouch" and "turn around". 
It's the way he says it, trust me.
This little clip has the "turn around" in it... enjoy.

Also I will leave you with some pics of my amazing mother's day weekend. 
 I sure do love spending time with my fellas.








I hope you all have a fabulous week.

{37 weeks}




We've officially hit full term!


Size of baby: Supposedly baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measured a bit over 19 inches long. I'd like to think he is weighing it at a solid 8.

Development: Baby's lungs are most likely mature enough, that if he were to be born now, he'd fully adjust to life outside of the womb. Holler. He also is supposed to have a pretty firm grasp... which I believe since he's been tugging at my hip bone for a solid couple months.

Feeling: Actually... pretty good. I really can't complain too much. I haven't had heart burn once this whole pregnancy, and for that I am thankful!

Sleeping: Non existent still. The couch is my new best friend... I can get a good couple hours of sleep there.  Inevitably my hips/back start aching there though too. 

Movement: This little man is still quite active. Uncomfortably active at times. Mostly by my hip bones??
Brody likes for me to "carry him" when he is falling asleep in his bed. He rests his head on my belly and the baby usually shoves his butt against Brody's head. I like to think they're bonding.

Name: I think we may have it figured out. Crazy right!? However, we are going to keep it under wraps for now - I'm not into hearing people's opinions about it and how they might not like it. We like it, so that's all that counts!

Looking forward to: Holding this little peanut in my arms.

Fun facts: I went in to my doctors appointment last week to see if I was progressing at all.
Luckily I had very low expectations, because I was dilated to a big ol' ZERO!
I have another appointment tomorrow... my prediction... zero again.



Feel free to cast your baby prediction in the comments.
Weight, height, birthday, color of hair/eyes??

Maybe there will be a prize for the winner!!! :)

Teepee: Moozle
Cowhide: can't remember the exact site, but it was found online

Star: Old... don't remember where I got it
Moroccan Pouf: Overstock

Wooden Tractor: Mexico - gifted

Hope you enjoyed!

Now I'm finishing off the babies room, and will share as soon as that is complete too.

{lamb-sheepies}

Back in March, when my mom was visiting, we decided it was necessary to head over to our fabulous neighbors and check out their baby lambs. 
{You may recall this post from last year when we did the same thing.}



Everyone was pretty excited about it... as you can see.

As soon as we got there, Brody wanted Julio to carry him around and check things out. 


Mr. Brody wasn't as smitten with the lambs as he was last year.




But he did get in one little pet.


These ladies and I have a lot in common...
they are sitting around waiting for their little babies to come too.


Brody was telling Maria all about the "lamb-sheepies"... as he likes to call them.



Meet Snowball. The same sheep dog that ripped my brand new jacket last year. 
Brody loves her.




We had such a fabulous time.
And yes, Maria did have some of her amazing peanut butter cookies for us to eat too.
YUM!

{35 weeks preg + 26 months old}





Well, well, well. Look who's 35 weeks pregnant!
Do you know what's more uncomfortable than being 35 weeks pregnant?
Being SICK while 35 weeks pregnant.
Yup, we're sick again.
I'm just hoping we get our fill of sick days for the year before little Mr. Fetus makes his arrival!


Size of baby: He is over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5.25 pounds.

Development:  His kidney's are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Basic physical development is now complete. His main job over the next few weeks is to put on weight.

Name: You'd think we would have chosen a name by now... but you'd be mistaken. We like to live on the edge apparently, and name our child at the last minute. Aren't we daring!?  

Feeling: Well since I'm sick at the moment, not so hot. Blah.

Sleeping: Nope. I had to get up to use the restroom FIVE times last night. And with Brody coughing quite a bit and checking on him, this momma's not getting her much needed REM sleep.

Movement: Yup. He is running out of space, so he's not quite as somer-saulty as he used to be, but he sure likes to stretch out and push quite hard on my belly. He's a strong one, that's for sure!

Looking forward to: Sleeping on my stomach!!!!

Fun facts: The same thing happened to Brody, but this little babe has been popping. Yes, his joints make an audible pop in belly every now and then. Since it happened last time, and is supposedly normal, I'm not nearly as freaked out. But it is still strange.


Now, onto cuter things than my big ol' belly.
This guy.


Brody is 26 months now... or as I like to say... 2.
There are no words really. 
Isn't he the cutest little guy you've ever seen!?
Clearly I'm biased, but come on...





Oh golly - it hurts my heart... in a good way.

{Note his tractor in EVERY picture also.}

Have a fantastic week lovelies!

{baby shower}


Yesterday I had my baby shower/spa day thrown by the fabulous Karli.
Let's just say that getting pampered at a spa is way more fun than tasting different flavors of baby foods.
And let's face it... these cankle's needed a little lovin'.

We started out with a delish lunch at Fork in downtown Boise.


I stuffed my face with a big ol' burger and some amazing rosemary parmesan fries. 
I didn't get a picture of the fancy spread unfortunately, but it was big. And yummy.

With a little time to spare before the spa, we naturally hit up Anthropologie.
I, of course, purchased some accessories, seeing as though I'm pretty sure nothing would fit me in the entire store.

Next, spa time! 
Karli had gone early and set up this fancy little number...




{There were some extra cupcakes that my farmer pounded in approximately 5 seconds once I got home.
They were that good.}


We ate some more, and got our feetsies lookin' fine.


Fun, fun, fun.


I had such an amazing time and am so thankful for great friends to share the day with.

34 weeks preg today!
{although at my 33 week appointment Mr. Fetus had a fundal height of 36 weeks!!}
Not too far to go. :)
