Home Stretch

My due date is tomorrow so we are on the home stretch waiting for our surprise baby! We had a false alarm on Friday and I had a pretty uncomfortable weekend but I'm feeling better this week and just waiting patiently for baby to decide it's his/her birthday. 

Both kids learned to ride their bikes this summer. He doesn't love riding as much as she does but he does and normally does barefoot :)

I just can't believe how much he has grown. He is my child that needs somebody with him at all times and is always looking for something to do. The Harrison family says that was "exactly" how Marcus was. Life is full circle!

Last week Poppa and Deenie took them to Lake Malone for a day of fishing and swimming too. They love going to the lake!

If there is a list of must-do's when you're pregnant, buying new houseshoes is on the list. I wear houseshoes all the time and usually until they're falling apart or Owen gets a hold of them. I love my new ones!

After being home for my whole pregnancy except doctor's appointments, visiting family and a few face-to-face work obligations, we finally started getting out a little bit in these last few months. I have received some great reactions from people who haven't seen me since March ha! We went to Hobby Lobby one evening looking for mirrors for the nursery.

And while we were in Owensboro we stopped to visit our friends and meet their newest addition, Ford! He's an angel baby and Mac had grown so much, Bess was in Alabama with the grandparents. We had a great visit and I'm sure we will again soon when we add a new member to the clan.

Mac couldn't look anymore like his daddy. What a sweetheart he is!

37 weeks. I didn't take my weekly pictures this time around and opted for just random ones when I thought of it. I don't want to forget these days <3

We had only been to the lake once all summer so we made it happen another time last Friday and joined our friends Steve and Kathrine. It was just what I needed to get me to the home stretch! The babies had a ball tubing and swimming.

This boy is up for fun 24/7

And so is this girl, they both did everything they were big enough to!

Daddy and sis tubing!

Kathrine, Thomas, Georgia and Jack tubing 

He tubed like a champ but needed some mama loves afterward for a little bit ;)

38 weeks. I've never been so hot in my life. I'm as cold natured as they come. For once in our marriage we haven't gone back and forth over the thermostat, I've gladly let him keep it on 67 at night!

I measured 44" at 38 weeks, I think that's pretty close to my size with Jack; I can't remember with G.

Just a random night of Jack, age 5, doing his bedtime routine and wearing his "brother" bracelet he requested to match my "mama" bracelet in a size too small pajamas (his preference). One of us lays down with him every night until he goes to sleep. I know one day this won't be the case so we will do it until he sends us to our own room ha! 

38 weeks in the dress that I have loved this pregnancy. It is considered "bump friendly" from a boutique called JessaKae. 

Can you tell how excited he is?!? They were both pretty devastated that the false alarm last week didn't result in a baby. Georgia's exact words: "Great, she's not going to have the baby until December" and Jack's words: "He's still digging his way out of there". Boys.

She's getting me ready for the big day by pampering me! I love her heart of service.

Maybe the next time I post we will have some very exciting news to share!
