My first thought about being 36 weeks pregnant is that time has seemed to completely stop! I feel like the weeks are dragging but I guess that's good so we feel like there's more time to get some last minute things completed around the house before turning our attention to caring for a newborn...and toddler! My second thought about being 36 weeks pregnant is that I now feel LARGE and very pregnant. I'm finding it hard to stand for extended periods of time, bra's and shorts/pants are uncomfortable. I find myself grunting and moaning anytime I move which sparked Reid to ask, "Is something wrong?" Well no, I just have a large protruding belly! Sleep has gone out the window. I'm so restless, achy (thank you Colorado rain), anxious for his arrival and all that needs to be done, and I now I'm in the bathroom every 10 minutes as this kid loves to push on my bladder. BUT it's not all horrible! I still love feeling him constantly on the move and it's still so surreal feeling his little limbs poking out. So while I feel like time is at a standstill right now, I can't believe that in 4 weeks our little family will be complete!
Last weekend I finally decided to schedule a shoot for some maternity pictures. A friend from my mom's group Maggie, who also did our announcement pictures, did AMAZING! and I'm so thankful the rain held off for us to get some pictures in!!
