38 Weeks and Chillin'

Well, well, well, look who decided to write on their blog... Sorry for the delay. My good friend Jane kindly reminded me that it has been far too long since I wrote my last entry. I do apologize, time just seems to fly away these days ;-)

Not too much new... well, I am a bit fatter. My appetite has really increased lately, so I'm getting a little worried that I might start to put on some unnecessary pounds... uh-oh! I just want to keep Ethan nice and light. I don't need to be poppin' out some 13 pounder!

Ethan is still crazy busy in my belly - constantly pushing, twisting, punching, and kicking. He used to sleep through church on Sunday mornings even while I practiced and played with the worship team. But, in the last month he's been waking up during band practice. I've had a couple Sundays where he's actually kicked the back of my guitar as it rested on the side of my belly during worship. It's funny cause you want to stop singing and be like, "oh my gosh, my baby just kicked my guitar!" BUT, something tells me it's not the appropriate time to share that kind of thing. Although, I think most of the church would get a kick out of it (no pun intended).

My recent doctor's visit was funny. All the other prego girls in the office told me I was far too happy to be 37 weeks. Not to mention most of them thought I was too small to be that far. Apparently I'm supposed to be miserable and yelling "Get this thing out of me!" Sorry to disappoint everyone, but I'm just fine with Ethan waiting till his due date (Nov.30th). Now, I might be singing a different tune in another week, but so far so good!

For all of you that dying to know... I've gained a whopping 30 lbs. so far. Where?!? I'm not sure where, but the scale doesn't lie ;-) I think my cheeks are getting a little thicker? (the ones on my face). Well, let's be honest, you all just want to see pictures, so I'll stop talking and give you the latest shots.

Enjoy!

We took these pics last night. I was pretty much in shock when I saw them. It's still a little shocking to walk by the mirror. haha!

I'm always trying to capture Ethan's gymnastics on video... so I managed to catch some brief flips and kicks or whatever the heck he's doing in there. Watch closely, he's moving the whole time, but it's not so easy to see all the movement. My belly's a little ugly, but I hope you find this entertaining ;-)
