Home stretch?

Well, to anyone who may try to keep updated regularly from this site, I apologize for going so long without posting.

Wow, April has gone by ridiculously fast. Baby is definitely strong in there -- half the time I'm convinced I'll look down and a little hand or foot will have pierced through my skin. As of my last visit to the doctor's, everything continues to be going well on the pregnancy end of things. I keep dreaming about delivery and babies so hopefully that means our addition will arrive soon -- well, not too soon I guess. We'll just have to see :)

I have to admit, I flipped a little bit of a switch this weekend though -- I'm getting over being pregnant. It's certainly not unbearably uncomfortable or anything like that, it's just constant. I mean, I think about it all the time, I feel it all the time, I'm just ready to think about something else for a little while. I'm sure it's just preparing me for motherhood, but I'm ready to be able to tie my shoes without asking for help and to ride my bike again -- oh, and go more than 2 hours (sleeping or awake) without having to go to the bathroom. All in all though, pregnancy has been relatively good to me.

More baby stuff: So the house is pretty much prepared now for baby's arrival. We've picked out girl and boy names. I think at the end of next week we'll put the carseat in the car and pack our bag for the hospital as I'll be in that "anytime" zone. Now if only we could win the lottery and not have to figure out how to pay for daycare, we'd be set.

NON...well, sorta non-baby news. Mom and Dad have made their plans to come out in mid/late June and I'm really excited to see them. I'm not sure it's really sunk in that there will be a whole 'nother person here when they come, but I'm sure it will be great. My brother-in-law has been working to finish his very last semester of law school and will graduate in about 3 weeks -- but that's not all -- he's also been accepted to the FBI, so he gets and ultra-hearty congratulations for his recent accomplishments. One of my cousins is graduating high school in about two weeks and will be attending KU in the fall. On Dave's side of the family, two of his cousins are expecting babies -- one here in Bozeman and the other in Arizona. So it's an exciting time in our life.

Well, I'm off to bed for now, but I'll do my best to give better updates.

Hope this finds everyone well and healthy!
