8 more weeks!

Oh my goodness! That's all I can say when I see this picture. I look in the mirror every day but for some reason I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this picture after Ronnie took it. I am large and in charge! We went up to PA yesterday for Ronnie's mother's bday and they insisted that I get a new pic on the blog because I had grown sooo much. Now I see it! hahah I can't get over my belly.

Well, just for an update, I feel good. I definitely have the waddle, I get out of breath walking up my steps, and I feel like if I pushed really hard, this baby would fall out. haha! I laugh, but I'm not joking. I don't know how I'm supposed to stretch anymore. I'm at my max....but noooo....this baby is going to get bigger and so am I. I'm hoping that he's born a little early, as long as he's super healthy.

We started our childbirth education classes and we have and will have them every Monday of this month...I love them because I get massages out of Ronnie!!! Its really directed towards the partners because they need to remember how to relax us mommies if we start to get distracted by the major amounts of pain. Ronnie is doing such a good job...he's going to be an awesome coach. We also got to go on our hospital tour. GBMC is beautiful and the birthing and postpartum rooms are unbelievably nice. I might just ask if I can stay a little longer than normal! The nursery only had 3 little babies in it...one getting her first bath and not enjoying it too much. They were all so super cute. I think it really hit me when I looked in that window and realized that in 8 weeks or less, we'd have a tiny, tiny, tiny little baby just like that. Those babies were smaller than my cats!

Anyhow, all is well. I feel good and I'm anxious to bring little Hunter into this world...especially because he's really starting to hurt my bladder.

Carrie, You look just beautiful, pregnancy looks good on you. But no you are not going to have a tiny,tiny,tiny little one. Hunter will be 7lbs or over and long like his Daddy.

Love Momma R
