Update on Little Lee

In very few ways does it feel like I have been pregnant forever.  For me, the time has flown by!  I am thankful for that and credit it to still feeling so great most of the time.  I know not everyone has that experience so I am beyond grateful!  Because I feel so good, I keep thinking I have a ton of time left to get things ready and prepare but my sweet husband reminds me, we are running out of time :) 

I woke up today and somehow...

  • I have passed the 37 week mark, which means baby boy is full term
  • I have less than 20 days until my due date
  • We spent 8 hours at a birthing class
  • We've had 2 baby showers where friends and family and have given generously to our family 
  • We have a nursery (almost completed) with a crib and a changing table area and a glider 
  • A closet FULL of cloths from newborn to 12months (thanks for ALL the hand me downs)
  • The car seat is secure in the car 
  • My hospital bag is packed...well it's getting there 

I am still walking to work and home everyday and will continue to as long as I feel up to it.  I am starting to find myself slowing down a bit.  I can still do most things, it just takes me longer to do them. I go to the doctor on Monday and we start weekly visits until the little one arrives.  Two weeks ago I was excited about getting an ultrasound, as I have only had two throughout my pregnancy (9wks & 18wks).   The ultrasound was to confirm that baby was in the proper position, head down, which thankfully he is!  It was so fun to get a quick glimpse of our baby - it had been too long!  It's a little wild for me to think that next time we see him, it will be face to face.  

Here are some of the highlights fromt the last 18 weeks :)

  1. Lindsey, you look great! I'm glad your pregnancy is such a breeze and I cannot wait to meet Little Lee (and hear what name you picked). Your blog post made me tear up a bit. I am sentimental like that when it comes to babies and becoming parents. Oh well. XO
