7 more weeks to go...

I should really title this one, 7 more weeks and I'm already uncomfortable and the heat is too much for me! So, I'm now not sleeping very well at night. Between getting up 3 times to go to the bathroom and having charlie horses almost every night, I'm not getting much sleep. Oh, and it doesn't help that it's hot outside and we don't have A/C. BUT, it'll all be worth it in the end when we get to see our baby! We had our birthing classes last Sunday and the Sunday before that. We both really liked it and felt we got a lot of good information out of it. I have attached a picture of Chip with the "empathy belly" on! He had to wear it for about an hour to see what it really felt like to be pregnant. I don't think an hour really does the trick though?! I had another baby shower this last week. It was given by my mom's best friend, Shirleen Gruener and her daughter-in-law, Angie (a good friend of mine). We received a lot of nice things and we were able to buy our stroller this weekend with some gift cards and items we returned that were duplicates. I have my doctor's appointment this week. We're now down to every 2 weeks. I think by the time my due date rolls around, I'll be more than ready to have this baby!

You look so good for only 7 weeks left! It will be over before you know it! I've noticed on the weather it has been warm for you guys - hopefully not too much longer. BTW - I love the empathy belly on Chip - I don't know what it feels like to be pregnant but I'm with you - one hour is definitely not enough! Why couldn't they wear them home and attempt to sleep with it on? Hehe! Hang in there girlie, like you said it's totally worth it! Take care and I look forward to the blog updates! Keep 'em coming Momma! Blessings to you, Chip, and baby Braden!

I don't think I have seen anything more funny than Chippy with a belly! Thanks for the laugh. I can't believe Braden is almost here! What an exciting time. Can't wait to meet him. Love you guys!
