35 week belly

Not the greatest but I figured I should post something before any more threats come in...after a loooooong day at work.

35 weeks

Can you believe it? I am 35 weeks! It is crazy how fast it has gone by. Sorry it has taken me so long to post but life here at the Vasel's has been pretty crazy. As most of you know John and I have been looking to buy a house. We found one that we really liked and put an offer on it. After the inspection we withdrew our contract because of foundation issues. After that, we weren't really sure what to do; however, we finally decided....We are going to build! We are very excited however, it does mean that we won't be in a house until about April. But it will definitely be worth the wait. We went this weekend to pick out our lot and put down our reservation fee. They will then start working on getting all of the permits and everything and the foundation will be poured in January (weather permitting).

Anyways, we have also been taking our baby classes, buying baby furniture, and just preparing in general. John has been traveling a lot lately which has been a bummer but he is now home until after Christmas which will be very nice. I am still working full time and feeling pretty good but things get harder with each passing day and each added pound. I am really enjoying being pregnant and feel very blessed that I have had a relatively easy pregnancy thus far. Other than the SI pain in my second trimester I haven't really had any other problems. Sure it's hard to get up and down and by the end of a 10 hour work day I am very swollen with an achy back but it will all be worth it.

We finally got the last pieces of the furniture for the nursery (dresser and nightstand) on Friday so we were able to really start setting things up. I am definitely in my nesting stage seeing as how I have almost completely finished washing everything in the nursery and putting the nursery together in 24 hours. It is really coming together and I am so excited to have everything done. It is not exactly how I envisioned it since we are not painting the room lavender while we are in the apartment. And we aren't going all out on the actual decorating of the walls and stuff since we will only be here for another 5 months after she is born. But don't worry I will definitely be ready to do everything when we get the house. Emma, John's little sister is even going to sketch us a mural to do on the wall of her room. I sure am glad I married into a family that has artistic ability because nobody in my family does.


Anyways, this week starts my every week doctors appointments which is exciting (only cause it means I am that much closer). I am really hoping I stay on target and go all the way to 40 weeks. Ideally no more no less. I would love for her to be born on my actual due date! For those of you that don't know that is Brett's (my older brother) birthday. Not only for that reason but also because I really am not ready to be off work yet. I still have a lot to get done before I go out and someone has to cover for me.

That is all for now. I will try and post more often now that we are getting closer. I will post an updated picture of me as soon as we take one.
