35 Weeks

5 weeks to go... And they couldn't come any faster.

ABOUT COLLYN: Collyn is 18 inches long and around 5 1/4 pounds (According to Babycenter.com). His kidneys are fully developed and his liver can process waste products. Yay for more poopy diapers! :) He isn't wiggling as much anymore like he used to. He is still moving around, but not the way he used to kick. He has moved down lower into my pelvis. He is still head down and kicking my ribs.

ABOUT ME: I haven't weighed myself this week. I will be weighed again at my doctors appointment next week. I am getting a lot bigger and it is harder for me to do normal things around the house. I'm having difficulty picking things up off the floor and taking care of Alden. He has learned to walk up stairs by himself and put on his own shoes (Which are Crocs, so they are easy to put on). My feet and hands are beginning to swell, which my doctor said is completely normal being pregnant in the summer. My back has been killing me. I've been drinking tons of water and iced tea to keep myself hydrated. I am very ready to be done with pregnancy this time. I haven't been able to rest like I did last pregnancy.

ABOUT LIFE: Things have NOT slowed down for us at the end of this pregnancy. Lyndon has been working like crazy, so I haven't seen him much. He went on a business trip last Thursday-Saturday, so I was home alone with Alden. He will be gone again next week from Friday-Friday for summer camps for church. This makes me really nervous being home with a 1 year old for that long. My parents offered for me to stay at their house during that time. I might stay there, but we will see. Lyndon is trying to get me room up at camp so we can be up there together. However, it makes me nervous that I would be 3 hours away from my doctor and hospital. I'm nervous either way. I've been getting all the dance stuff I need to get done before September when dance starts, so I don't have to do much when the baby comes. The weather is HORRID right now. It is between 100-105 degrees everyday, and we are having record setting highs. We haven't been outside much because of this.

We still haven't completely set up the nursery, since we moved. The bassinet is in our room, but the stand is still in the garage. I'm hoping to get everything together this week before Lyndon leaves. We will see.
