35 weeks

How far along: 35 weeks as of 7/26/13 = 35 days left until due date.

How are you feeling: Feeling pretty large lately, not too sure how much bigger this belly can get. Baby must have dropped slightly or something because all of a sudden I can eat again and don't feel quite so full or out of breath.

Emotions: Definitely feeling very hormonal lately, like I'm going to cry over the smallest thing at any given moment. Also been feeling a bit anxious in the last few days, ready to meet our little one. And at the same time, complete anxiety about the pregnancy being over and baby being here! Poor Luke! :-)

Miss anything: Running! I never thought I would miss running so much, but I've really started looking forward to and thinking about my first run and race after baby.

Best moment this week: My mom hosted a beautiful baby shower at her house and the guests all decorated onesies for Baby Young to wear. Had a blast at the shower and even more fun washing and folding all the decorated onesies. I can't wait to see our babe wear them!

Looking forward to: We have our 36 week appointment this week and will find out if baby is head down - fingers crossed! Not convinced this kiddo has flipped yet, but hoping for the best.

Gender prediction: Most people are guessing BOY! I'm honestly not sure one way or another. However, I will be more surprised if we have a boy than if we have a girl.

Names: Ha! You really think I would tell you the names we are thinking? Sorry, top secret! We have a list and have narrowed down our favorites. I will say that we are more solid on a boy name than a girl name at this point, so if we do have a girl, there is a good chance she won't have a name for a little while.

Anything else: I've been putting off a few things until August, and here we are, just a few days away from August already! Time to start filling out my maternity leave paperwork for work and the state, visit the police station to make sure the car seat is installed correctly, and pack the hospital bag. Whoa. My heart literally starting pounding as I typed that out. Car seat and hospital bag make this whole thing seem so close and real.

Our summer plans are winding down. No trips planned for August. Let the nesting begin!
