August 1 - Calm Before the Storm

Okay peeps-so I'm now 8.5months pregnant and I must say that other than back pain when I first get out of bed in the morning (which goes away after being active for about 10min) this is the BEST I have felt since I've been pregnant. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and he said it is definitely unusual to feel so good this late in the game (he said most women are begging to be induced a this point, especially during the humid summer months).

In other news-the carseat is installed, the baby's bag is packed (and in the car) and we've filled out the baby book (as much as we can at this point). The baby's room is officially 100% done (J.D. installed a shelf last weekend and we put up the penguin piggy bank, some picture frames and books) and it looks fantabulous. This weekend, we're planning to have our bags packed and we'll start cooking and freezing dinners.

Oh-and we still haven't formalized a name yet, I guess that is pretty important!!

That's awesome that you are feeling so great!!!! James was like that for me - but by the time I was 8.5 mo's with Isabel I was READY to be done with the whole thing. (I think that has more to do with the fact that I was 8.5 mo's AND trying to keep up with my almost 2 yr old!) ;-)

Good call on freezing dinners in advance. I sure wish I would have done that!

I can't WAIT to see her and hear the name y'all pick out! At least now it's August. You can officially say your baby will be born this month!!! WOO HOO!
