March 31, 2009 – five weeks until due date!

By Marie | March 31st, 2009

We are officially on the home stretch of our pregnancy at 35 weeks along.  The nursery is almost done and I just washed and put away all of the tiny clothes.  You forget just how small they really are!  We just installed the infant carseat in the car.  That sure looks strange to see the carseats for two babies in MY backseat.  We also had the hospital tour and preregistration a couple of weeks ago.  The baby moves ALL THE TIME; I think he is gonna be a little more rowdy than Branson.  I’m still feeling pretty good but have some days that are better than others.  Being pregnant in the spring sure beats the summer!  It is still a struggle to get comfortable enough to sleep and to breathe without congestion.

Branson is 2-1/2 going on 5!  He will be moving into his big boy bed within the next week.  He is almost potty trained so this will make it easier for him to use the potty by himself.  He is still enjoying his gym class and had fun when Grandma went with him last week.  He is talking A LOT and saying the funniest things.  He likes to tell people about the baby in mama’s tummy.  He also likes to hold his stethoscope up to mama’s belly and listen for the brother.  He is really enjoying our fenced in backyard – it has been a blessing!

We just had our baby shower/celebration on Sunday and had beautiful weather.  The kids enjoyed the bouncer, bubbles, chalk, and decorating their hard hats.  Daddy bbq’d hot dogs and hamburgers for our party.  We had a lot of fun with our family and friends.  We’d like to thank Sandra and Roxanne for their help with hosting as well as Audra, Robin, Grandma, & Great Aunt Janice for bringing some yummy food.  …and thank you Daddy for your help, too. 

28 weeks and counting
