This last picture just cracks me up....love the look on Derek's face! :)

Thanks so much Kathy!! I love how they turned out!

37 Weeks

Officially "full-term"! It is a good feeling to know that Wyatt can arrive any time now! I am starting to get pretty anxious for him to get here. I am getting more and more uncomfortable as it gets hotter outside and I keep getting bigger. The skin on my belly feels like it can't grow anymore...it is so itchy and sore! Sleep is becoming harder between the heartburn that I get every time I lay down and the frequent bathroom breaks. Can you tell that I am ready?? :) I am really trying to enjoy these last few weeks of having him all to myself and feeling him move around all the time, but the frequent jabs to the ribs and everywhere else is getting a little old too! I am ready to hold him...and let his Dad carry him for awhile :)

I had my now weekly doctor appointment on Friday. Everything is still looking good, including my b/p. I am currently measuring at 35 weeks, so not too bad. His head is down and low but no other progress :( Not having many contractions either, just some general cramping/stretching and lots of pelvic pressure when I am up walking alot. So, just waiting for something to happen and trying to keep occupied in the mean time! The nursery is ready, the pack-n-play is set up in our bedroom, hospital bag mostly packed, and we just need to get the car seat installed in the car. Almost there!

Here I am at 37 weeks:
P.S. Happy Father's Day to Wyatt's Daddy, Grandpa's, and Great-Grandpa's!! He can't wait to meet you all!

My wonderful friend (and talented photographer) Kathy took some belly pictures for us this weekend. She did a fabulous job! Here are a few preview shots that she sent to me:

More to come soon....

If you are looking for a photographer, I would be happy to send you Kathy's contact info!

Baby Shower with the Girls

My college girlfriends hosted a baby shower for us on Saturday. It is always fun when us girls are able to get together! Although, it is different these days with lots of little ones running around and keeping everyone busy :) I can't wait for Wyatt to join in the fun and get ready for Spring Break 2025!! I am so glad that 6 years after college, we still remain close and still have a great time together! Here are some pics from the day...

Susan did a great job of organizing the shower...thanks Susan!!

love this picture of Claire!

Wyatt finally got some "I love Mommy" gear! After our last shower, I was a little sad that pretty much all of Wyatt's clothes were "I love Daddy" stuff. So, after opening several "mommy" items, I found out that Derek had spread the word to my friends :) So, now he is equally outfitted!

All of us girls and some of the new additions (sidenote: it kinds looks like Cristi and I are holding hands in this picture...we actually aren't, we were just squeezing everyone in the picture, but I think it is rather funny) !
