Warning...this is a long update, sorry!
Today marks the 35 weeks/35 days till my due date of Feb 1st. We have been busy bee's lately trying to get ready for Colin's arrival. Last week Bob spent time putting together all of the fun baby items, I have to say that a lot of that stuff is pretty complicated and it's not an easy task but he was a good sport :) I washed all of Colin's clothes/baby items etc. and have most of it organized by size and put away thankfully. The kid received so many adorable clothes that we have a ton of it put away in a storage bin till he will be able to wear it just so we have room in his drawers/closet. Most of his room is finished, we just have to take care of a few last minute things. His room is the smallest in the house so its hard to get good pictures, but here is what we have done so far-
The Changing Table all organized....
His crib all set up & ready to go, can you see the baby spycam in the corner??
His closet organized and ready to go....guess I need to take the stickers off those bins!
When I can't sleep at 4AM, this is what I have been working on lately.
The Glider......
My new diaper bags, there are 2 more in the closet :) Bob says that I have started a collection of them but I figure they are my new "purses" and you can never have too many!
I really enjoyed being off work last week and was able to get in some relax time finally. I can't believe how fast the time went and I am looking forward to this being a short week as well. We celebrated with the Smitka's on Christmas night and then with my family yesterday, because Brian and Ashley were on their delayed honeymoon in Jamaica (I'm jealous!). We had a great xmas and were totally spoiled by both families as always. Colin also received a few of his first Christmas presents too.
Colin's first teddy bear from Grandma & Grandpa Smitka-
Here is Bob with his first Teddy Bear-
Colin also received a Shar Pei puppy from their dog Yum Yum-
Grandma Alexander bought him an antique style horse-
Today I had my 35 week appt. and Colin is measuring at about 6 pds (plus or minus 1/2 pd) which is right on track and everything is looking good. I was worried he was going to be a HUGE baby like Bob, but by the way things are looking he should be average size at about 8-8.5 pds if he continues to gain the normal 1/2 a pound a week till the due date.
Finally, my very first and only belly shot that I have taken, he has grown a ton lately!
