I really think he’s trying to hatch. Aaron thinks he’s trying to come out through my belly button. That’s usually where is movements are the most violent and throw me across the room. The other night he did something that made my whole body involuntarily jump about 2 feet off the bed.
Those are not my favorite moments. Yesterday he was awake ALLL DAY. Didn’t sleep once. I was miserable.. and sooo sore.

Yesterday was also my 38 week appointment. My glucose was sky high.. like always. I really honestly think I have gestational diabetes, but hey.. I passed the test.

I am officially 2cm’s dilated..and 50% effaced with a very soft cervix.. too much information??? :) sorry…..

My doctor will strip my membranes at my next appointment (if I make it that far..) and said basically the only thing holding me back at this point is that he hasn’t dropped yet.

So I’m trying to make that happen.. Aaron set up the treadmill so I can walk every night.. and I’m supposed to be doing lots of squats.. we’ll see what happens..

I still realllllllllly want to have him this weekend.. but i honestly don’t think it’s going to be happening.. I’m just not feeling it. We don’t want to have him the week of Christmas.. so if he doesn’t make it before that week, he has to wait till after… I guess we’ll see…
Either way.. I keep trying to remind myself that it is all coming very very soon, so to not be in such a rush. I’m sure if I just slow down and try to forget about it, it will happen! just like when you’re trying to remember something… :)

And one cute picture in closing….

Isn’t this little rat weird??? I have no idea why he decided to climb up on this pile of pillows.. it is very out of character. Right after this picture he curled up on that pillow and fell asleep…

Weirdo……

And tried to take a real picture but the flash was realllly bright.. hence both of our squinty eyes!

The show was great.. but I was pretty uncomfortable the whole time. I moved around so much that the people behind me must have been really frustrated…

This is probably the part where Uncle John hangs the feather pen ornament and the choir sings Hallelujah… Love that part! :)

I was playing with the settings on my camera and took this picture of Aaron and I totally love it! :)

Every time we go out.. or go do something.. All I can think about is “This might be the last time we get to go out alone..” I think thinking that makes it a little more special.. I appreciate it a little more..

We had a great night… but it was late.. and I was sooo tired when I got home! (considering I am usually in bed by 8 or 9!)

Saturday morning we got up and took puppy in for a haircut. (He needs to look his best for his baby brother..)

And I took Aaron to The Original Pancake house in Sugar House. Lindsay and I went there while she was here but it was the first time I had been and we just happened upon it by accident. Right when I got there I realized it was the same place my mom likes to go to in California. I loved it soooo much and couldn’t wait to take Aaron. So after dropping the dog off we headed there…

And of course had to take a picture.. because I might be the last time we ever get to go to breakfast alone! :)

(On a side note.. I still fit in booths!!! I thought I would really miss sitting in booths while I was pregnant.. but I didn’t have to miss it.. I still fit!!)

Oh and pre-puppy hair cut….
Sorry its so dark.. he’s a black dog..and really hard to photograph when there isn’t a lot of light!

And post-puppy hair cut! They didn’t shave him as badly as last time. But Aaron liked it so much, I had them cut it all off again!

I just can’t help it because normally Aaron loves Riddick. But doesn’t love him to be all over him and the bed and the couch because he thinks his long hair makes him “dirty.” But when he is all shaved Aaron will love all over him and cuddle so close to him.. and even kiss him! and its just soooo cute! I’ve even turned on the heater (for pretty much the first time..) just to keep him warm!

Last but not least.. it was Santa picture time! (Again.. black dog.. white beard.. just pretend you can see him!)

The guy taking the picture was such a perfectionist.. he took like 15 pictures then asked me which one I like best. They all looked EXACTLY the same! So I just picked one… he printed it out and didn’t like it because it was too dark, so he tried to print it lighter and it was still too dark for him. Since this is the 4th year of Santa pictures I know this is just what they look like. But he wasn’t happy so he took them all over again with flash. One finally came out to his liking and he printed that to put in the frame. (sorry… I didn’t take a picture of that one) but you get the idea…

if anyone wants a copy I have all 15 he printed out trying to get it right!! :)

I have a dr.’s appointment later today.. So I’ll be back to report and possibly with a 38 week picture!!! He’s gettin’ big.. and I constantly have this feeling like my stomach is going to rip open.. its not very pleasant.. but its all just a count down from here..

this weekend it is supposed to snow alll weekend…and there is a full moon… sounds like the perfect time for a baby!!!! :)
