the day my sweet baby boy came and made me a mama. 

little andrew i love you more than you'll ever know. 

first kiss to his mama!

last friday night we were laying in bed and I was holding little andrew. 

then all of a sudden bam he's trying to kiss his mama. 

(yes i know he probably was looking for food but i'm saying they were kisses!) 

it was the best thing EVER. 

my favorite photo is the bottom left one. he totally loves his mama. 

baby kisses are too good. 

i love you little son of mine.

picnic before baby!

on sunday we went for a little picnic at the park. 

we've been soaking in all the time alone as we can before little guy arrives because we all know he ain't going out of my sight tell he's at least 25. 

i don't think we will mind a little sidekick on all our little adventures though. 

 we packed a lunch and went and enjoyed the fresh air and went for a walk too. 

it was a lovely sunday indeed. 

we relaxed on the grass and we were closing our eyes, so i said lets take a picture and on the count of 3 open your eyes. the sun was so bright this is our reaction. (eeek too bright!) 

 we laughed for a good minute at ourselves. 

hubby love you and thanks for being the best husband i could ever have! 

39 weeks!!!

I'M ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE WHAT THE WORLD! 

that's how i feel right now about all this. 

mix emotions. so happy. so ready. so nervous. so excited. so scared.

how far along are you? 39 weeks and 3 days! 

gender? baby boy! 

maternity clothes? i'm lucky and only bought one pair of pants. everything else i've managed in! 

how big is baby? according to the app it says he should be around (19-22in, 7lbs) and around the size of a watermelon! wonder how accurate that is! 

weight gain? i gained 2 pounds in a week. i'm not sure my exact number now but somewhere around 25-30 pounds total! 

sleep? oh sleep. i love it and need it. i wake up every 20 minutes it seems but its not bad. 

movement? oh yes. he has no more room! 

labor signs? nothing. we have walked, ate pineapple, ate some spicy food, walked some more. and nothing. he clearly isn't ready to come out yet! teaching mama patience. 

best moment this week? almost reaching the finish line. i get to be a mom soon! 

some happy moments? anytime i see my niece amelia she touches my tummy. it really is so sweet. and he wasn't born on her birthday! yeppie cousins don't have to share the same day! oh and bags are packed and i have got everything off my before baby comes to do list done! whaaooooo!! 

what am i looking forward too? HOLDING MY BABY! 

hopefully this is my last bump update blog post.... but who knows i just might go to 41 weeks! 

(pray not! ha ha) 

our new tent trailer!

last weekend hubby and i bought a tent trailer! 

we're so excited for summer and the fun new adventures we're about to start. 

we love camping and usually just stay in a tent and with a new baby we decided that's probably not the best thing since the first trip planned he will almost be 3 months old.

brandon is so excited for camping its cute. everyday he talks about it. i've said it before but i'm so glad i married someone who loves to camp. we can't wait to take our little guy camping!  

whaooo for camping!! 

CAR SEAT TIME!

CAR SEAT TIME! 

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. 

i'm about to be a mom so that means i have a car seat in my car with me. 

WHAT! 

so totally fun and so oh my goodness moment all at the same time. 

this. is. happening. 

since we have installed it and both of us have practiced getting it out, 

feel free to come anytime now baby. your daddy and i wouldn't mine!
