34 weeks 5 days

I can't believe the end is drawing near. Ok, my body definitely can feel that the time is getting closer. I'm sore all the time, tired a lot, have feet in my ribs, have a ravenous appetite.... all in all, I really don't feel like I can complain. I feel like I've been able to give Natalie a good home to grow in... but we can't wait till she's here to cuddle with!

This Thursday my lovely coworkers are hosting our second baby shower and we are just thrilled to pieces about it. I've been very lucky to work in such a generous school system. Also this week, Jason plans on calling a photographer about shooting delivery photos. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about the idea at first. I was worried that it would interfere with such a private moment. But Jason told me that all of his coworkers LOVED having this particular photographer. They said she's very non- invasive and the dads loved not having to worry about snapping the right pictures. Jason said he wants to be able to focus on me 100%. I really don't think we will regret having these pictures!
