32 weeks, 8 months...8 weeks to go!

I've hit the 32 week mark..officially 8 months pregnant! Cooper reminded me to "blog" today with all the kicking and pushing around he was doing. The nursery is almost complete...missing the curtains...which I have ordered and will see if they work when I get them in. Finding "boy" fabric that is not "themed" is very hard to do. Erin and I are going to start our own line!! Well, thats what we always say when we can't find something. More baby showers are coming up in March, so I'm sure to get goodies for Cooper (and for me...that breast pump is calling my name). I don't have any good pictures to share since my photographer is out of town, but when he gets back I'll post some. I can't wait to get some pictures of Cooper when he arrives and put them around the house.

Only 6 more weeks of teaching left for me! I'm taking off 1 week before the due date and then I'll have spring break...so only 6 weeks left! I'm sure the time is going to slowly creep for me and go by fast for Andrew since he is going to be at a lot of tournaments this spring.

My favorite guys..

Happy Valentine's Day to my 2 favorite guys...

The future....

I found this picture on a blog today and couldn't help to think this will be Cooper and Jack one day.

Pregnancy Calendar Week 30

Pregnancy Calendar Week 30: "Week 30: Goodbye monkey baby, hello roly poly!Fetal development in pregnancy week 30:fetus in seventh month The light is visible at the end of the tunnel! Your oversized self and amazing growing baby have finally reached the single digits (in terms of weeks till birth)! The fine lanugo hair that has been growing all over their little monkey-like body is going to start falling off this week in preparation for the big day. But don’t be shocked if they’re hairier than you’d anticipated, some babies keep their lanugo until after birth. Still, it’s not any cause to be concerned as it will fall off eventually. No surprises here: your little porker is getting even cuter with increasingly pudgy arms and legs this week thanks to the ever-growing layers of subcutaneous fat. In terms of numbers, your baby should be weighing in at around 3 pounds 12 ounces (or more!) and be nearly 16 inches long."

Don't wish your life away...ugg...We're having a hard time!

Me and Andrew are getting anxious! We were watching tv the other night and out of the blue Andrew says, "I wish Cooper was here!" Well, I got to thinking, and me too! I think we are both getting a little anxious, excited, nervous, etc. (ya know..all those feelings) about our first child. I'm counting down the days until I can see him in Andrew's arms!! Ahhhhhh!!

Almost into the 30's

How cute is Barnaby?

This is our good friends, Simon and Lucy's, new baby boy, Barnaby! I can't wait to get my hands on him...it may be next summer, but it will be worth the wait! Cooper and him and going to be buds!
