this photo was taken at week 33 but really i am almost 35 weeks. always behind. ;) so much has happened since my last belly post. we started our birthing classes again. at the first class i teared up at all the births we watched on a video. lol. i think these classes are obviously going to be helpful and remind me of a lot of things i might have forgotten about…but i think they will really help me mentally prepare for this deliver. since life has been extra busy lately i haven’t had as much time to really get focused spiritually and mentally. with P i had a little more time on my hands and less people to take care of so it was easier. so i am thankful for these classes…even though they are a bit inconvenient with the time and location. ;) it’s all good.

P and i took our last road trip for awhile to visit the family back home this past weekend. i took the back roads route for the first time and realized i have been missing out! country roads are so much more peaceful and less hectic than the massive highways like 35…plus i skipped all the TX/OU weekend traffic…which we will not talk about anymore. sad day. we did manage to go to the state fair. P’s first time! she loved it! i loved the food! ;) (thankfully i just got over a not so fun 24 hour stomach bug the night before so i was able to enjoy the day as well!) we even went to my high school’s volleyball game too. my first one since going to high school. ah memories. it was fun seeing my old coach too. still call her coach. clearly. oh and P did not sit still for one second. no joke. thankfully my mom was there to follow all the little ones on the bleachers and up and down the halls throughout the whole game. ;)

it was weird hearing my parents tell us goodbye and that the next time they see us there will be another baby! eeeek. it’s so close guys. i also might not be anywhere near prepared at home. lol. we will be getting all the baby stuff down from the attic this weekend….along with a lovely baby shower my friend is hosting for me! can’t wait. i still need to unpack from the weekend. i actually need a vacation from my weekend. we did so much (fun stuff of course) but i am worn out! pretty sure it’s going to take all week to get back on track and have a clean house. the mister did clean up my mess from packing right before we left so i am thankful for that too!

and a side note…if you want to see an awesome gender reveal video my friend did (green jazz face, remember her??) check it out. i love her craziness. ;) AND i can’t wait to make her lots of bows. ;)

and i have realized that i took an entire week break from blogging….not on purpose, but life just happens you know. i try not to get stressed over not posting because well it’s just a blog. ha. but i do have goals from this blog and so far i am not doing a great job. so here’s to making more of an effort!….because i know y’all all want to know what’s going on in my life and miss me when i don’t post. ;) let’s all have a great rest of the week! :)
