We are almost there!!!

I can't believe I am so close to meeting my son!!! Today I am 34 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Only 38 days until my Due date!!! I'm hoping he decides to come out a little sooner than that! I am so excited to start the journey of motherhood!!!

This month I had a two baby showers which where everything and more than I could have imagined! My mother-in -law did such a good job with the Mad Hatter themed baby shower that she threw for me. Here are some pictures!

 The very next weekend my sister threw me a turtle themed shower that matched Charlie's nursery that was just as great! Here are some picture from that shower!

I really am so blessed to have so many great people around me. A lot of work went into both showers and I am so thankful for the great time I had seeing everyone and all the great gifts that I received. I pretty much got everything that I needed in order to be ready for Charlie to arrive. Anything that I didn't get I was able to get with gift cards.That was one fun shopping trip! =)

So after both showers were done and everything purchase I was able to finish up Charlie's nursery. It turned out so great! Here are some pictures of the finished product!

As far as Charlie goes, everything is going good. I have a feeling that he is getting to be a big boy. My stomach is constantly moving which I love. I think that is something that I will miss the most about being pregnant, all the kicks that are just for me! The doctor says that he is head down which makes me a very happy mommy! 

 Here is what my email update has to say:

See the bigger picture.

How your baby's growing:

Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
