WHOOT! Prego update

Well we are officially at 36 weeks but we'll back up a little since I'm super behind (what's new).

Things are going smoothly so far.  I'm super uncomfortable most of the time and I'm pretty sure Keeton is too.  He can no longer stretch out while I'm sitting down which leads to our first son and mother arguments.  He's obviously just like his dad since he's super stubborn...we all no I'm in no way stubborn.   Though the kicks are miserable, I'm in love with the hiccups and now the feeling of his fingers moving.  I don't think I ever felt the flutters at the beginning, we just went straight into Jackie Chan kicks so to feel something small and sweet is awesome! 

We've had company for over a week straight (not the same people) and I must say, even though there were times I had to say I needed to sit down...I kept up pretty good (I would appreciate it if they don't comment on this).  It's crazy that mall walking is officially considered cardio exercise now.  This isn't a good thing since Baby Gap is in the mall...  Anyways, I'm getting super anxious about the next 3 1/2 weeks and whats to come after that.

We had our weekly, yes weekly, doctor's appointment on Monday. There we found out that I'm offically dilated 1 1/2 cm and yes you can be dilated for what seems forever but for some reason this really hit me. We are soooo close to having this sweet boy! Also at the appointment, I fainted! It was the craziest thing and now I'm even more convinced that I will never make it through labor. Goodness! Anyways, here's some pictures to show how massive I really am!



32 Weeks along...I also rode a horse!  Ok maybe I didn't ride one but I sat on a fake one...that's got to count for something!
somewhere between 33 weeks and 34 weeks...I just can't believe it's suppose to keep growing.


DO YOU SEE THAT?!  I now have an outie!  Sorry if this picture is offensive to anyone.

Kona likes to test out the baby stuff...here he is practicing sitting up with the boppy pillow.  We had him doing tummy time but he moved before the picture :(

More boppy time!

quick update...

Well the past two months have been absolutely busy!  You would think since I'm now unemployed and living in a city where I know very few people that I would stay pretty bored....NOT the case.  We've had company, weekends in the mountains, and plenty of exploring going on.  I can't even remember all the things we've done.  Anyways, things are great here in Denver.  I'm loving my new home (even though there are some Texans that I miss like crazy).  Colorado is BEAUTIFUL, which I'm sure you all already knew.  Sometimes I catch myself saying "gosh I wish we lived here"  it's just unbelievable that God has given me the opportunity to live in such an incredible place.  I'm soo ready for summer, Keeton will be here and the weather will be lovely...which means lots and lots of hiking, days in the park, and just long days outside.  I just can't wait!  Let's hope little Keeton likes being outside!

Here's a quick update (in pictures) what a few of the things we've been into.  I'll fill you in on the joys of pregnancy...probably tomorrow. 

Michael was the first to come in town in 2012!  Here you can see the guys being way too cool at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Yes, thats the belly peaking out behind that jacket...it no longer zips.  30 weeks here...

Matt has taken up being a cowboy now that we live in Colorado...ok that's not true at all but he does wear girly vests.

We went to the Buffalo Bill museum while Matt's parents were here.  No need to let me know how good looking I am, I already know ;)
Rocky Mountain National Park.  Elk and mountains...no big deal.

Valentine Red Velvet sandwich cookies...recipes like this gave Paula Deen diabetes.

Keeton's parents.  He'll probably laugh at this picture one day in the future.  "Mom, you were HUGE"

Matt's friends from college, Brent and Robin, came to visit...this is what 35 weeks compared to 27 weeks looks like.  I guess if we were going to have a contest for largest stomach EVER, I'd win. 

but don't worry, we still know how to work it!!  (Robin don't kill me for posting this)

The guys will probably kill me for this.  They are excited about the sons that will be joining their lives very soon.  Too bad those boys will one day think we are all major dorks...and of course these pictures do nothing to make them think otherwise.
Let's not forget Kona, he's enjoying the exploring of the Mile High City as much as the rest of us.  His stomach issues try to convince us otherwise but I don't believe it.  Wonder how he's going to handle the arrival of Keeton....
