35 Wks and 4 Days

So we are almost at full term. Only 4 1/2 weeks to go! Here is a picture of me. As you can see I have become very swollen. Although I have been for a few weeks now, it continues to get worse. I was crazy to wear these shoes yesterday, however, I already have a blister from my flip flops. And yes, I officially have "cankles"!



I have really enjoyed this weather, even though the heat seems to make me more tired, I have enjoyed taking walks in the evening. The doctor reports that Landen is head down and appears to be favoring my left side. I'm wondering if he is going to wait until due date to make his appearance, but if he is as stubborn as I am, it might be awhile! :) Only time will tell.

One of my dear friends Summer has been such a help. I just want to let her know how much I appreciate her friendship and all the support she has given me. She is going to be such a wonderful "Aunt" to little Landen! We love you Summer! :)

I am officially done with my first year of my masters. If I sit and think of how much more I have to do I get a little overwhelmed. Two more years! I am crazy for doing the part time program!
I look forward to resting for a few weekends without the worry of papers and class! :)

Landen continues to grow, move, kick, and keep me up at night. I'm afraid he is going to be a little pistol but we can't wait! :) :) Until later ~ Love

Kokomo Shower

This past weekend my sister and mother in-law threw us a baby shower. It was a lot of fun and we got lots of fun yet useful gifts. Thanks for all the hard work and time you guys put into it. Here is a picture of us ladies, and of course Caleb! :)

Here is a picture of me with one of the gifts and then a picture of a fun game we played.

34 Wks and 4 Days! We are almost there!

We are keeping very busy. I have continued to wash baby clothes, sheets, and all the necessities to prepare for his arrival. Chad is very busy with Golf as I have realized goes past Landen's due date. Hopefully he isn't away at a match when Landen decides to arrive! :) Other than that we are excited and ready for this little guy to get here! Love you all!

Almost there!

Today marks us at 34 wks and 1 day! There is light at the end of the tunnel! :) We can not wait till Landen gets here! We have been very busy bees. With my semester coming to an end the work load continues to get more overwhelming. Chad has also started his Golf season as the head boys golf coach at Pendleton High school. So not much time to relax. This past weekend we had a shower at the church. It was really nice and we got lots of fun and useful gifts. Here are a few pictures.
(me, melissia, and tia) The ladies who gave the shower for me! :)


Me and Tia! Tia is 8 days ahead of me with her second child. She is also having a boy. They are going to be great church bubbies!



Gifts! :)



Cupcake Cake! So cute! :)



This past monday we also went to our breastfeeding class. It was very informative. We feel like we are ready to go now. Update on baby: Landen should be close to about 5 pounds. He kicks constantly and keeps me up all night. Its so weird of how many times I have to go to the bathroom. I have also started to have braxton hicks (light contractions preparing for labor.) Landen's room is coming together. Right now there is stuff all over the place (pictures to come.) This wkend we plan to pack our bags so we are ready for his arrival without any stress. I am just having such a hard time figuring out what clothes I want to take for him to wear. I have it narrowed down to about 10! :) Tomorrow (friday) we have another doctors appointment. And from here on we are going every week! This weekend we are also having a shower thrown by the Taflingers! We can't wait to go spend the day with them and Landen's cousin Caleb! Love you all! WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!
