Watermelon

I am 37 weeks and technically full term today...the websites say that our baby boy is the size of a watermelon. I love this because watermelon has been one of my strongest cravings!

I am working through the daily emotional balance of wanting him to be here NOW but also enjoying the time I have with D, family, friends, work etc. I am trying to enjoy this "quiet" time when I am settled into the routine that is familiar to me. But I do keep daydreaming of what our little one will look like, what his personality will be, what interests he will have and I am quite frequently taken over with the longing to know him!

Soon enough :)

For now, here is a picture of me and the little man at 37 weeks!

Summer Dates!

The past couple of weeks have just been good ole' summer fun! We have had a lot of great stuff going on and have really been trying to live up Portland's summer. Here are some photos from our adventures!

Our date night with Leila, our beautiful Goddaughter!

Our date night with John Legend and Sade!


Our date day with Bob and Mary at Sauvie Island Beach!

Our date night on a farm - and egg and poultry farm! We went to Plate and Pitchfork with some of David's co-workers...I would definitely recommend it.

It's raining...it's pouring

We feel incredibly loved and supported as we enter this new journey of parenthood and grow our family. We have had some beautiful baby showers lately and we want to thank everyone that helped to host and that was able to attend.

I currently don't have photos from my Tucson shower or the Girl's shower that Mary and Becca hosted but when I get them I will be sure to post!

34 weeks

David and I had an awesome picnic in the park last week for date night. We are trying to make the most of our date nights as we know they will change once our little man gets here. But we are definitely getting more and more excited (and anxious) to meet this little addition to our family. I am 34.5 weeks now and only 39 days to go according to my trusted ticker above.

Here is a belly shot...more on my awesome baby showers soon so stay tuned.
