36 Weeks and counting...

Well, due to the fact that everyone seems to be blogging these days, I decided that a good way to keep in touch with my friends and family was to start a blog. I'm not really into talking on the phone, especially lately, and so I thought this was good way to let everyone know whats going on with me and my family.

Things down here in Conroe, are going great. Patrick and I are still working on getting the house ready for the baby and also just getting stuff done before we don't have the time to. Last weekend we went shopping for baby stuff with all the giftcards we got from the shower. We ended up getting most of the things that we went for, but the big one was getting our stroller. For Mother's day I asked Patrick to build a new front porch, because we didn't have one before, but also because our little wooden walkway was falling apart. He spent Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning building the perfect little porch. He was so proud of himself, it was really cute. The porch turned out great and we have been enjoying it all week.

This weekend we don't have any big plans, I'm just trying to recover from the work week. Being 36 weeks pregnant makes working completely exhausting. I know all you moms out there who worked through your pregnancy can understand what I mean. Just moving around has become difficult and uncomfortable, but I know its not too much longer. We are getting so excited and a little nervous about being first time parents. On Monday we have a Dr. Appt and an ultrasound to see how big little Ainsley is. I'm hoping that she might be a little bigger than normal so that my Dr. will induce me before my due date, but my Dr. doesn't think that she is going to be above average. If I don't go into labor before my due date, my Dr. said that she won't induce me until a week after my due date, because she think that its important for the body to have a chance to do it on its own. Even though I hope that its sooner, I do hope that I make it until June 5th. That is Jenn's last day of school and I definitely want my big sister to be here. I didn't get to be there when Boston was born because I had to work, and I was pretty sad about it. Right now everything is going smoothly, and we are just waiting for the big day. Ainsley's room is finally ready and organized and it just waiting for her to get here. We want to send a big thank you to my mom and Mimaw for helping us with Ainsley's room. We love it.
