It's been a while since I posted...

Doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about you constantly. Just been so busy at work and getting all your stuff built and ready for you. We are at 32 weeks baby and that means about 2 more months until you are out here in this world! You have been kicking up a storm, but differently than before, I can feel you pushing on one side or another and when I apply a little pressure, you push back! I haven't felt any contractions yet, but my heartburn has gotten a lot worse :( I'm short of breath and I feel weak and tired after my 3 long days at work. Daddy has been really great, reminding me to drink lots of water and getting plenty of healthy meals and snacks for me to eat.

I know you are just rarin' to go, but you have another 2 months to get ready. No rush at all, you just keep doing your thing and we'll be here waiting for you. We're heading to a pool party on Monday, I'll post a picture of Daddy and I for you. Until then, look at this! It's a picture of me and your Aunt Jodie picking strawberries a few weeks ago!

Love you kiddo!

Woot, woot!

Baby, what a whirlwind it has been... I can't wait to get you out into the world so you can experience all the great things going on around us.  School is over, and now the real work begins. This is the week that all my work prep will come to fruition... this is the week... we start rolling out the produce truck!


I am so excited! And nervous... I hope everything is ready, I hope I have prepared as well as I can.  I have some great people working for me and I know it will all turn out okay, but here it is 2 days before and I cannot sleep a wink!!! It is a metaphor for getting ready for you, I know...  we have spent a lot of time getting ready for you and I hope we don't forget anything.  Everyone is so excited!

Speaking of work, Daddy had a BIG party on Saturday!


There were a lot of people that came out, a big truck full of yummy BBQ and a bullride!  It was so much fun.  It was so great to see how many people support Daddy and Uncle Nick!

Then on Sunday, I went to yoga in the morning and then Daddy and I went to a special class together and we learned about all kinds of good positions to be in for labor.  Daddy massaged me (which felt sooo good) and he helped me feel comfortable and focus on breathing.  We are such a good team.

I hope you know that no matter how long it has been since I've made the effort to write to you, I love you dearly... you are a big part of my life already. I have so much I can't wait to share with you.  The world can be a wonderful, beautiful place and I am so ready to share all those things with you.  I am also ready to show you all the other things that maybe not so nice, so you can be strong and fearless.  We're at 29 weeks, only 11 more to go... I'm impatient to see you, to hold you and to share you with everyone. I hope you are ready for a great life. You just keep right on kicking and moving around.  It makes me feel good to feel you being so active.
