I know that it has been forever since I have given an update, I am sorry! Life has been very busy for us lately preparing for our little one to arrive. Currently, I am 31 weeks (almost 8 months) along and I am feeling pretty good. The baby is about 3lbs and 16 inches right now... The more the baby grows, the hungrier I get! I have to eat at least every 2 hours!! I go to my midwife every 2 weeks now and she says that I am so healthy and right on track! That is so comforting to know.I am tired and having a hard time sleeping. My belly is big so it's hard to flip flop at night w/ a pillow in between my legs and having to go to the bathroom every 3 hours I don't get much sleep. I am still working full time and am in total "nesting" mode at home. I have been doing a lot of organizing (throwing away) things that we don't use because I just feel like there is no room for all of the babies neccesities. I know that all will work out, but I still am stressing because really, we only have like 9 weeks left before our baby gets here!! I can't believe it.
We've started moving everything into the nursery slowly & will be able to really organize it after I have my shower on Oct. 16th. Our nursery is going to be neutral colors (cream, tan & beige) with baby giraffes decorating the walls & the crib and we'll accent it with either blue or pink after the baby is born. I will definately post pictures once we have the room all set up. It's so exciting.
Hunting season also started for Nate and me. I tried to take this picture of myself & my belly, but it wouldn't all fit in there! I will have to try to get Nate to take a good one of me. Of course my wonderful husband has already shot a deer and we have meat in the freezer.....he's so good! I am very surprised at how well I did while I was hunting with this huge belly. I really thought that it was going to be a struggle, but it hasn't been. My midwife said I can hunt as long as I want to, but no sitting in tree stands. SO, I have to sit on the ground in a camo chair, it's not so bad...... My goal is to shoot a deer while I am pregnant, I really want to accomplish that. Other than that Nate has been working out of town still all the time and I miss him all the time. We are just waiting for our little Baby Butera to join us in this world......we can't wait!!!
