Counting Down The Days...

It is very hard to believe that there are only 5 days left until my due date!! All I'm hoping for is Carson to not be late, but he also seems to be taking his sweet time in my belly. I hope he's not too comfortable in there.

We made some changes to his nursery last weekend due to a new chair we got. I imagine we'll be spending lots of quality time in this chair loving on and feeding Carson. I can't wait! Reid's weekend project is a side table to go next to the chair for a lamp and drink/snack holder for me.

New (big and comfy) chair for rocking

Reid suggessted I start taking last minute pictures since Carson could be here anyday. I have started getting comments from random people when I take Snyder out. Most of them are along the lines of, "that baby is going to walk right out of you."

Do I even look pregnant?

No doubt about it here!

 Carson is a big boy already and the doctor estimated he might weigh in the upper 7lb range (and that was 4 days ago). My nights have become uncomfortable and I'm lucky to get more than 2hrs sleep at one time. If I don't workout right when I wake up, there's no way I'll be thinking about a workout later in the day as my belly feels gigantic and I'm very achy. My final thoughts for you Carson are that I think you've grown enough and I'm ready to meet you baby boy. Time to come play with us!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there! Unfortunately Reid and I couldn't spend the day with our mom's this year, but we hope they had wonderful days and we are thankful for all they have done for us.

Even though I may not technically be a mom yet, I'm only 2 weeks away from meeting my little man. I am beyond excited for the day he calls me mommy! Yesterday Reid and I ventured out on a picnic after church. In typical Jenning's family fashion, our first destination was a bust (too busy with the Mother's Day crowds) so we drove around aimlessly until we found a decent spot. We settled on Evergreen Lake in Evergreen, CO. It was nice to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.

Carson has been growing quickly these last couple weeks but no signs he'll be here anytime soon. I got to enjoy Mother's Day with my first sign of contractions (yippee) so hopefully that's a sign of progress. Reid and I are getting anxious and just want to hold him in our arms.

Nursery Pictures

I think we are as ready as we can be for Mr. Carson to come. It's hard to believe it's already May and Carson will be here very soon. Reid and I are beyond excited to meet him. Enjoy his nursery!!
