9 more weeks!!! ahhhhhh! :)

I cannot believe how time is starting to fly by. I have only dreamed about how I would feel when we were close to having a baby. I have never felt so excited/happy and scared/nervous at the same time in my whole life. I love this little boy so much already and he is already loved by so many. We had our first shower yesterday that was given by my best friends Ashlie, Lindsey, and Becky. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives that wanted to share this special time and shower us with gifts for Austin. We got so many wonderful things that we needed and adorable clothes that I can't wait to see him in!!!!! I am truly so very happy and very anxious to see what God has in store for us. 

On a pregnancy note, I go back to the doctor next week just for a monthly checkup. I am not sure when I start going every two weeks but I know I am getting close to that time. My last appointment I was up 20 lbs overall but had gained 7 in a month. HAHA I am scared to see how much I have put on since then. Everything has been good. They say I am measuring right on target and my blood pressure is good. I still have some swelling but I am trying very hard to not eat as much salt and drink more water. It seems to be helping a little. Besides being tired all the time, I can only really complain about this "pregnancy brain" I have heard about. I never really understood how bad it can be until the past couple of weeks. I have been doing some crazy stuff. I have literally sat and stared into space trying to figure out what I should be doing. I completely forget what I am going to do or forget things that I always do in my daily routine. I say things backwards constantly and the people around me just laugh because it happens so often. I am lucky to remember my name. LOL Overall, I am so blessed to have had a good pregnancy so far and I just pray that everything continues to go good. I can't wait to meet my sweet boy.

So my last thing I want to talk about is my to-do list. I feel like I am becoming my step mom that I have made fun of for years with all of her sticky notes. It's not just that she would have so many but it would also be what she would write to remind herself to do. Something as minor as take out the trash! LOL Well, I am hoping I stop it as soon as he comes. But not only do I have to remind myself of simple every day things but I still need to go register at the hospital, have a consultation with the pediatrician, wash baby clothes, pack my hospital bag, complete my maternity leave paperwork, prepare for my sub, and get this house baby ready! Franz's list is pretty big too and there is no way we will get it all done. We are so busy with other things that I don't think it is possible. Oh and we are hopefully getting our maternity pics done next week. I can't wait to get them done!!! There is just so much to do and so little time to do it. Say some prayers! :)

Well, it's time to get off here. I will update in a couple of weeks I am sure. Hope everyone has a great week!!!!!
