Just 5 more weeks left. I have to say "just" to try to make it feel closer. I am feeling so impatient with excitement for our little baby to come. I feel like there's so much more that we should be doing to get ready... but at the same time, feel like there really isn't much more to do. I am excited to see what our little baby looks like and of course, if it's a boy or a girl! Oh how I hope this next month flies by!
I was able to get started on our christmas stockings last week. Jon was really nice and came to the fabric store with me to help me pick out fabrics. I really appreciated him coming with me actually because I wasn't quite sure of what I really wanted and I really want him to like the way they look too. He also helped me to think about things I don't think I would have otherwise thought of such as fabric to line the inside and batting. What a good husband to come with me to the fabric store. :D
I now have the fabric cut out for four stockings. Yes, four. The stockings differ for the boys and girls, and since we aren't sure of whether we're having a boy or a girl, I am making an extra stocking. I figure we'll eventually need to use whichever extra stocking we end up with later on. The trickiest part so far is the bow design I'm putting on our stocking. I ended up getting fleece for that part because it just seems like it'll be easier to do, but we'll see how it goes. The actual sewing will begin tomorrow. I'll make sure to take pictures so you all can see. It is a lot of fun and I'm excited to see how they turn out.
I'll be taking a new pregnant photo for all of you this week. So stay tuned, it will be coming. I love my belly. I find it lopsided more often now. It makes me laugh sometimes with how much bigger one side of my belly may be. I think the baby favors the right side (do any of you think that means it's a boy or a girl!? haha I'm just kidding.) I love it when the baby is pressing outward a lot because I feel like I am so close to touching it. I just wish I knew what it was that I was touching... whether it's the head, a foot, or whatever it may be. My belly button is usually level with the rest of my belly now. Depending on how the baby is, it may be in a tad or possibly sticking out just a little bit. Something that makes me laugh really hard sometimes is when I laugh, my belly sticks out in a cone shape. haha It's like it peaks toward the center and when I see that, it makes me laugh even harder. If I'm laughing really well, my belly button make stick out a little bit then too. I'm sure I'll miss some of these things after the baby comes. It's a fun part of the pregnancy for me. But I can still hardly wait to meet our little baby!!!

Ah man, I wish I was there to see all this! I can't wait to see a picture of your belly. I wish I could come see you once more before the baby came. It makes me want to come the moment you go in to labor that way I can see you at the hospital before and after, ha. I don't blame you for feeling impatient. Keep yourself busy busy busy! Do you need us all to take shifts to call you and keep you occupied? ha. Are you still working?
Hang in there, Kristin! Hopefully the next few weeks just fly by! And hopefully that little bundle of joy comes early and you won't have to wait the full 5 weeks!!
He/She will come. :) I think a sewing project is a good idea to help pass the time. Maybe find some new movies to watch. Maybe see if there are any fun things to do at any of the universities.
I love seeing how the belly shifts too, it can be so entertaining. :)
Wanted to add, my belly is always shifting to the left, was like that with Brynn to, so my guess is you're having a boy! If we're right we may have just discovered the latest way to tell the baby's gender!! Hope you are doing well today!
