34 1/2 Weeks!

Here's the gift basket we won, woohoo!

My baby shower at school! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful gifts!!!!

I am feeling the baby now more than ever. Every twist and turn is amazing and it's so cool to watch my stomach move from the outside. Ella loves kindergarten and always starts moving when we do our morning & math songs. If it's true that babies can hear in utero, our munchkin should come out knowing her alphabet, days of the week, & numbers 1-100 because we do it everyday together :) I haven't quite accepted the fact that she will be here next month....sometimes I feel like I'm still not ready. On the other hand, I can't possibly imagine getting any bigger at this point since I'm so uncomfortable. Luke was laughing at me because, even in the mall, I want to drive to the next department store because they just seem so far from eachother (and to think I used to enjoy jogging!) The exciting part is that I get to fall asleep every night just thinking about the first time I get to hold her and how magical that will be :) I'm just so unbelievably excited to be a family of three. Luke and I will have our 10 year anniversary this August! I feel so fortunate to truly be married to my best friend and now we get to start this whole new chapter of our lives. I can't think of anything better :)

This past weekend I had some serious upper back pain for the first time. On Monday it was still bothering me so my doctor had me come in right away. Much to my surprise, I have a kidney infection and now have to take medication that will affect the baby :( The doctor is adamant curing the infection is the first priority because it can cause preterm labor. Fingers crossed that all will go well this week and we can have a full term munchkin!
