The countdown is on!

Well, I think we can officially say that the countdown is on!  As of Wednesday we will only have 10 weeks left until Cameron arrives...possibly less.  We got a chance to check on baby boy last week and our doctor thinks that he is measuring ahead of where my due date is.  This is good for a couple of reasons...first of all, Cameron may arrive earlier than expected.  Second, they called for an ultrasound at our next appointment to verify his size, weight and development level so that means we get to catch another peek at our sweet baby.  I can hardly wait!

As everyone knows, last week we celebrated Thanksgiving.  This pregnant woman was lucky enough to get two dinners, one at my Grandma's house on Thursday, and another once Adam and Megan joined us on Saturday.  Both meals were delicious, and I am so thankful to have been able to spend so much time with our family.  Not only did we celebrate Thanksgiving, but we also exchanged sibling gifts because we won't be able to all get together for Christmas.  I scored this awesome t-shirt from Megan and can't wait to wear it proudly.

At this point I am fully aware that I am not in control of how I will feel when I wake up everyday and that will only become more true as this pregnancy progresses.   With that said, I have decorated minimally for Christmas because who knows if I will have any energy at all once Christmas passes to take decorations down. All presents for the holidays and Kevin's birthday in January are purchased, wrapped and ready to go!  I was the poster child for pregnancy for a solid 26 weeks but as we near the finish line, it is like someone built a brick wall in front of my face that I repeatedly run into.  There are the normal symptoms of constant bathroom breaks and sleeplessness, but as back pain and extreme fatigue set in I have gone ahead and accepted that Cameron is making his presence known.  I just keep focusing on the fact that I have been lucky to have had so little trouble up to this point and that there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel and not to mention a snugly baby boy!  What comes before snugly baby boy you ask... the answer to that is simple - great big baby belly.  Check it out!

Onto the questions...

How are you sleeping?: Poorly.  I will be more than prepared for sleepless nights!

What was the best moment this week?:  Anytime all of my immediate family can get together in the same place it is always a good time.  We were lucky enough to have a nice long weekend relaxing together.

Do you miss anything?: I miss feeling like myself.  It is difficult to go from intense workouts and high energy to grunting every time I try to sit up without help.  Luckily Kevin has been incredible and he is always there to get me up off of the ground if I can't do it alone. :)

Cravings?: Nothing special, but I do have to eat often... not really eating a lot, but trying to get something on my stomach every couple of hours.

Mood lately?: I had a four day weekend this week... I was in a great mood!

What are you looking forward to?:  Having the holidays arrive is getting me really excited about the fact that this time next year we will have a super fun addition to the family to play with in the form of one Cameron Ool!

Maternity Clothes?: Just trying to stay comfortable at this point, regardless of what it is I am wearing.

Stretch Marks?: So far... so good. Keep your fingers crossed people!
