Hello world!

I am now just two days shy of 37 weeks. Two days shy of no more bed rest. And two days shy of having a full term pregnancy. Everything has been going well. I am swelling pretty bad and retaining water, blood pressure was really high at my last appointment. So I guess we will now watch all of that. Other than that though, I am 50% effaced and at a loose 1 cm dilated. So almost 2 cms. Half way through on the effacement part! For being 36 weeks though, that is pretty good. She is sitting very low. I am afraid to sit down because it feels like I will sit on her head!

Logan had a GREAT birthday! We rented out a party room at Airborne, his favorite place. All of our friends and family came. He got lots of present and loved his pizza and cake. I can't believe he is almost two! He blew out his candles all by him self. It is just so weird to think, two years ago I was anxiously waiting on him. Now we have this big boy who is so smart and funny. We love him to death. Every morning he wakes and asks where the baby is. He knows she will be here soon! In the next three weeks even! So crazy! We have everything ready. Baby bassinet set up, glider put together, all of her clothes are washed and hung. Car set put together and double stroller as well. Today we will go buy her bath tub and some more diapers. We didn't buy any bottles this time, since I plan on breast feeding til she is one like I did with Logan. It is such a hard task, but the most rewarding ever.

We are now only 2,000 away from paying off Rorys car. We have a little more than $6,000 saved up for our house down payment. Have about $4,000 more to go! We will continue to save though even once we reach our goal so I can have a big down payment on my car. Can't believe that in November we will have two kids and a house. I love where I am at in life. Great husband, perfect kids and things just keep getting better!

Last week I did a girls senior photos. Because we had never met before, she was really shy at first. but by the end of the shoot she was out of her shell and rocking the camera! She is a point dancer at Copper Hills and is also on the dance squad. She loved how her photos turned out. I posted them on my photography page on FB and with in 20 minutes I had 50 new notifications, all commenting on how much they loved them or "likes". I also have a few others looking to get their seniors done as well. Tonight I am doing a 1 year olds photos. I am stoked. I love shooting babies. Next thursday I have an engagement/bridal session.

Nesting has been off the hook at my house this week. Every morning I wake up and clean. Yesterday I scrubbed all of our wood floor by hand. I love nesting. I also love Pine-Sol :)


Well Off to help Logan. Bye!
