38 weeks

(I have a picture but I figure I should at least get this post up before my 39th week is over.)

38 weeks y'all!
This baby doesn't want to come out yet danget!

the baby is about the size of a Leek.

He is about 6.8 lbs (according to baby center)

and about 19 inches long.

I honestly wanted to make the baby come this week.

He just wouldn't budge!

He's hanging out down lower and in position to come out.

The dr. told me that the cervix was thinning.

I'm super sensitive to what everyone says lately,

If it isn't what I want to hear I'm thinking "don't like them right now"

I know it's dumb but all I want to hear is that it will happen asap! 

haha

I went on a walk everyday.

I had a lot of Braxton hicks everyday!

Then towards the end of the week I was having contractions and on Saturday night my contractions got 7 minutes apart and were going for about 45 minutes.

Then I fell asleep and woke up with a sore back but no more contractions.

When I woke up my back felt like it had a nice long workout.

Jared and I went up to city creek for the day and rode the front runner downtown.

We had a lot of fun.

There were a few stores that had clothes that were ridiculously high priced.

A cashmere sweater was $400 dollars I thought Jared was kidding when he said that but Oh my goodness!!! 

Why not buy 10 sweaters that will last longer then one sweater? 

I don't know that's just me..

But anyways we walked around for at least 3 hours and my pregnant body sure felt it!

I couldn't wait to sit down!

We got on trax and I started to cry (Jared thought it was because we didn't get cheesecake, I wasn't in the mood to spend 7.50 on one little slice and Jared wanted chocolate and I don't like chocolate all that much and I felt so bad that I was the reason we weren't getting any when Jared wanted a piece really bad.)

But I was crying because I wasn't in labor haha. I felt so dumb on the train when I was getting ready to sob...

 But Once we started heading back on frontrunner I started to contract and have constant back pain so I was happy to have something happening.

But on another note I am glad for every extra second I have to prepare for a newborn.
I have 19 nieces and nephews from 0 to 12. (15 on my side and 4 on Jareds)
And then Jared and I will be adding one of our own!
BUT with that being said we have a little experience but watching nieces and nephews isn't quit like having your own...
I had the honor of watching two adorable little guys and I got a small taste of what it'd be like(of course I handed them back over everyday for all the hard stuff)
So we have some experience under our belts but I know nothing can really prepare us for what is next.
We are the primary care for this little Angel, we make all the big decisions in his life, and we get to wake up all night with him... woooooo...
But we couldn't be more excited for this upcoming adventure.
