Getting Close

So, we're getting close to the due date now and my friend Tina had her baby on Sunday! Good thing we did her pregnancy photos on Friday!  Anyhow, this made me think that I only have one more pregnant friend after her, due in August, and then it's my turn.

The newest development is that instead of feeling Johnny and holding my hand on my belly to wait for it again, I can actually feel AND SEE body parts moving (an arm, a leg, a rump, an elbow). It's the most AMAZING feeling ever!

The due date getting close, plus feeling him so well now has got me a little sad. I know this might seem silly, but I've enjoyed being pregnant, learning, feeling him grow and now it's almost over. I know it will be amazing when he gets here, but I'm a little sad for this part to be over too. Is that ridiculous?! Did you go through that?

I know, I know....I may feel REAL different when I'm 2 weeks from my due date and he's kicking me in the ribs and I can't get comfy at night.

Things are about to change, DRASTICALLY! I'm getting a little nervous about all that is to come: labor, how to care for a new baby, how not to break him, etc.

Still Growing...Week 28

Let's take a look back at the pregnancy progression so far...for fun (ha).

Here's week 5 basically, the day we found out! Wait...was I really that small? I don't recall this.

Here's week 7 vs. week 14 pic?  From working out to eating out....

Then we have week 22. I see the belly isn't the only thing that's been "ahem...enhanced".

Then week 24. Actually eating out...but with a buddy, it's ok.

Now....the end of week 28! People say I look small for 7 months. I would buy into this more if I thought it was going to mean small baby shoulders and no tearing during delivery. But...we can't have it all, so I'll be happy with a big, bouncing, healthy baby MJ (mini Johnny)!

BTW_Linea Negra....is that really necessary?!

Only 12 weeks to go....better go now. It's PB&J time. ;0) 

Baby Johnny's First Camping Trip

For the July 4th holiday weekend, we decided to escape the Sacto heat and head to the mountains for some camping! This is my first camping trip pregnant, so one thing did change. I invested in an air mattress! Best decision EVER!! Kylie, Grandma Donna and Maxx went with us to Caples Lake for some R&R, fishing and lots of good eats. Here's the view from our camp spot.

Johnny and Grandma fished one day and while Johnny was gone I caught the biggest fish out of everyone (on his line)! Here it is. Pregnant chicks rock at fishing!!

Here's Grandma and Johnny with my fish and her first catch of the day!

We had a great time and see MANY camping trips in my son's future!
