37 down and only 3 more to go!

It's getting closer to when I will be holding my little one and I'm so excited and nervous for that day to come!  It's crazy to think that in less than a month I will have a baby in my house, that it won't be just Luke and I anymore...I hope the adjustment to the change will be somewhat easy for us.  He's a very active baby still (it takes him between 5-10 min for me to count 10 movements when he's most active) and he has the hiccups often.  At times when he's super wiggly it kinda hurts sometimes and he still hasn't dropped yet so the heartburn is still there as well as my issues with breathing and sleeping.  I guess this is all preparing me for when he's here since I hear you get very little sleep with a newborn.  I'm also having super strange dreams at night or when I take a nap during the day.  Not too sure I enjoy those.  Unless it's one of me holding my baby, then I'm totally happy :)  I'm looking forward to when I can do the things I used to, like sleep on my back or tummy, paint my toenails, shave my legs...things that I didn't know I'd miss until I couldn't do them anymore.  But the thing I am looking forward to most is just cuddling my guy and being a Mommy :)  And I can't wait to see Luke with him too.  He's gonna be a great Dad and I'm excited to see the relationship he will have with our son.  April 16th can't come soon enough (and that's if he feels kind enough to come by then...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he isn't going to be overdue..)!!  Anyway here's a pic of me that was taken today:

Man do I feel huge!  Good thing it's only for 3 more weeks :)  And just 12 more days until Luke's Mom flies in!!  I'm so glad that she's coming out here to help us!  She's staying until May 3rd.  We are really grateful to her for making this trip.  It's hard for our family to be here for us since we live so far away and plane tickets are super expensive so when anyone comes out to see us it's a big deal.  Makes me wish we were back on the mainland even more. I'm really glad that we have good friends here though to help us out when family can't be there :) 

Anyway, I am going to get ready for bed now since it's almost midnight so I will talk to you later!  Goodnight!
