How could I forget?

How could I forget to mention in my "last" post before he's born...

This little guy has been breech my entire pregnancy. At my 32 week appointment he was still breech, making this momma a little worried. As I talked with people, most told me their's flipped by 32 weeks, but some told me there's flipped in the last month or even in the delivery room. I tried not to let myself freak out about it... but it added a lot of stress, wanting to have that baby flipped SOON. I did exercises/positions a lot on vacation. I had a doctor appointment right when we came back, and he was still breech. So I tried new positions, and also peppermint oil on my stomach that my sister in law gave me. Daniel's family went to the dunes in Michigan, and I was sure that crawling up those dunes would make him flip. I had that "theory" because that's how my mother-in-law got one of her babies to flip years ago. I was convinced it would work for me too. :) I managed only to make it up and down a huge dune just once.
4 days later I had another doctor appointment, at 34 weeks, and Praise the Lord... he had flipped! I don't know what it was that made him flip...maybe nothing I did mattered except the prayers, but I was so thankful! One day before my birthday I found that out... it was the best birthday present! It was amazing how much stress I was relieved of. It lowered my risk of C-Section... which that word "Section" just terrifies me, especially for my first. So I'm thankful that he's in the right place now... behaving for me. :) Now he's face up and just needs to turn. They told me it would sure relieve my back pain if he turned... so now that's the next step. :)
But I'm counting my blessings, and trying to remember that God is in control of the entire situation and birth. Because as you can imagine, it's my first... I have a little bit of anxiousness/nervousness going on.

One Month Left!

Can you believe it? Only one more month until this little one is expected to make his appearance! Oh wow how I am SO ready. I've really enjoyed pregnancy even with not always feeling well....but I think I could skip this last month. :) The nauseousness has returned, and it's been difficult getting around and doing tasks that used to be so small... like cleaning up my house, or getting out of bed. I'm just tired of carrying all this extra weight around all the time. They told me at the doctor that I'm measuring small. Ha...yeah right! I don't feel small at all, but I'm hoping that means my baby won't be huge?! We will see I guess. I'm so ready to be back to a "normal" size (although who knows that may take months..or years). I love feeling him kick...24/7. He never stops and often keeps me awake at night or wakes me up by pounding on my ribs. I love feeling my little boy move all the time, but I am ready to actually see and watch him move instead. :) 

I still have SO much to do before he arrives. The nursery is pretty well finished for now... I'm sure I'll add more things later. His coming home outfit is washed and put in the diaper bag, along with some fresh new blankets and pacifiers. It makes me so anxious. Seeing his little "take home" outfit, I can't imagine it fitting him... it looks like it's for a doll. But I guess they start tiny, and for that I can't wait for. I have always been known as the "baby hog" at church or family things... and now I get to have my very own. :)

There's a lot to get accomplished as far as work before he comes. I need to wrap things up at Gorenz, I just had my last Thirty-One party on Tuesday until January, and now I have a bookkeeping client I am doing from home which is brand new. It's added a lot of extra work and time as I'm just now starting and trying to get used to it. I don't have time for it right now, and it's been a little stressful, but in a few months I think I'll be glad I have my own bookkeeping stuff at home. 

Other than that, I've just been trying to not over-commit myself... because that's what I tend to do. A lot. But in the next month, I'm not really committing to anything, because who knows how I'll be feeling. I told Daniel each day I think it's the worse I've ever felt while pregnant, but then the next day comes, only to be worse. :) But I am enjoying these last few weeks with just me & Daniel. I'm kind of selfish when it comes to our time together(because it doesn't seem like much), so that will be an adjustment with our baby boy. At least I will be home all the time, and not have to rush off to work. For that I'm thankful! 

I'm not promising another post before our little man is born... unless I'm overdue...then I'm sure you'll see me on here because I'll need something to keep me occupied. :) I have a lot of catching up to do, but just a few pictures from the summer:

Enjoying Vacation

My Birthday Celebration

Me & Kendra... having baby boys just 6 weeks apart!

I'm hoping I'll be more regular on the blog once we have a little one... there will be more to post about, right? :)
