Chunky, hehe :)

I just finished reading one of my weekly pregnancy updates this morning... It says that baby girl should be about as long as she's going to get so these last few weeks she's just gaining fat! I find this to be completely adorable - my baby girl is just growing chunkier each day now :) I can just imagine that her cheeks are getting squishier, legs are getting thicker, and everything else is just getting all cute and squeezy! Oh, she's going to be so huggable! :D

So, 35 weeks down, 35 days to go! How crazy is that?! In just two more weeks we'll be full term!
It's so amazing to think back on our journey and how much we've both grown (and I know we're not done yet). It's completely miraculous to REALLY think about how just about nine months ago this, now almost fully formed, life was just sperm meeting an egg. God is amazing!

We have lots of things going on this week: Meeting with guy about refinancing our home loan, bump pics, sister-in-law's birthday party, BFF's engagement party, and final baby shower! In the midst of it all I'm really determined to really put the finishing touches on the nursery. We went to Target (our fav) over the weekend and got something for Auria's room to give us some more storage space. I'm hoping to get things a little more organized so that Auria's here I'll be able to find what I need, when I need it. Plus we still have to get everything hung up on the walls - and to clarify, when I say "we" I mean Josh ;)
I also need to make an appointment with the pediatrician (I know, I'm slacking), pack our hospital bags, & clean out my car so we can put the carseat in. There are many other things to be done, of course, but those are the major ones - especially the pediatrician because I need to have them sign off on my birth plan!

I still have yet to cut back on my hours at work and at this point I'm torn. I want to keep working as much as I can so we can save up more (to stretch out my maternity leave!!!) but at the same time I have so much to do and after working 35-45 hours each week, I'm so exhausted I barely have the energy to do anything when I get home! I guess I'll just keep winging it and see how things work out ;)

Here we go....
