Track Dreams...

It isn't often that we find track clothes for sale at regular stores and today when we went to get Jessica some new shoes we found both of these shirts at two different stores. Kevin is all about Jett being a track star so maybe by me wearing this track shirt for his last few weeks in my belly and then having his own little track shirt to wear as he learns to walk Daddy's dreams might just come true! LOL (and yes it will all be because I found these shirts!)

35 Weeks

So far, so good this morning. No contractions! I was worn out and exhausted last night and fell asleep before 9:15 and woke up this morning feeling good.

I am tired of being pregnant and ready to get this little guy here but I do want him to hold off for another two weeks or so. I want to be able to hold him and cuddle him and make sure he can come home with us, I don't want to worry about any health problems or anything. So I'm going to suck it up for the next two weeks and then you best believe I will be encouraging him to get on out!

Click here, here and here to see how he's doing this week.

A trip to the doctor...

Friday night I had a little bit of "back pain" and did as the doctor had instructed when it was possible they were Braxton Hicks or contractions and drank my water, took some Tylenol and went to bed. They went away and I was fine. Then last night they started again, I did the same thing and fell asleep. However, this morning the pain was still there, nothing too miserable and I just chalked it up to an achy back. By about 11 though I was starting to get pretty uncomfortable and having pain in my stomach to accompany the back pain. I never timed it but they were within 10 minutes of each other I would guess. Since I was working I just took the Tylenol and stayed at my desk instead of laying down. After another hour or so they weren't getting any better so I decided to go for a "quick" walk around the block. (By quick I mean as fast as I could waddle comfortably). By the time I got home I was beyond uncomfortable and bordering on tears.

About that time my friend Chelsea called and I was talking to her and telling her what was going on. Between her and Kevin they talked me into calling the doctor. The nurse of course scheduled an appointment for me to come in and get checked out this afternoon to make sure I wasn't dilating or anything. Everything checked out fine, I wasn't dilated at all. She did tell me that the contractions will probably continue and increase in frequency and intensity but for the next two weeks just to take the Tylenol and lay down when that happens. After I hit 37 weeks I'm free to walk and encourage them to continue and progress into real labor.

Date night:

Last night Kevin and I had a date night. We went to Haru's Steak and Sushi and it was SO good! We went to a Japanese steak house once before in Florida for Kevin's birthday and had a great time. My friend Erin told me they went there for her birthday last weekend so we gave it a try-we weren't disappointed! It is so fun watching them flip all the food around and make the onion volcanoes, etc. (Is it weird that it is only 10:00 am and I am craving more of the steak and rice from last night lol)

After dinner we went to Jason's (Kevin's brother in law) show and they were supposed to go on at 9:00 but about 9:45 when another band went on before them we decided to call it a night since Kevin had a conference to go to this morning.

Thank you Rachel & Deanna!

We got these in the mail from Rachel last week, she also got us a really cute blanket with a monkey on it but it is being washed in preparation for the little guy to get here so I figured I'd post the other stuff while I'm on here (I'll add the blanket pic as soon as I get the laundry brought up). Anyway, she got us this cute light switch cover to match his room:












And his little monkey night light..so cute!












Thank you to Deanna for spending so much time making this personalized decoration for Jett's room!

34 Weeks

I'm about finished with taking pictures...I'm hoping he'll be here shortly after the 36/37 week mark so I may only have one picture left to take! And yes, before you ask, that is my belly button starting to poke out! LOL

Things are going well, I'm pretty sure I've started nesting. Our house is clean and mostly organized, I'm still working on a few projects. Jessica's room now has a queen size bed in it instead of the twin loft. After she was sick last week and had to put her mattress on the floor so I could get to her we both decided we were tired of that situation so we roped Pops into bringing up the big bed. She LOVES her big bed and so do I! (Pictures to come)

I have finished washing and sorting all of Jett's clothes, blankets, bibs, socks, cloth diapers, etc. I do have a few things to hang up but for the most part his room and closet are finished. Jessica and I packed his diaper bag for the hospital yesterday so he's all set! (Mommy still hasn't packed her bag yet though!)

I know I'm a day early on the update for this week but I took the picture today so it's getting posted today! Click here, here and here to learn what Jett is up to this week.
