Babymoon here we come!

Today is our last day of work for the week!! I'm so looking forward to our little get-a-way to Monterey! So much fun and so relaxing. I can't wait! And to be able to get away from our 6 year old house guest, is going to be amazing as well.

Joshua is moving like crazy! And it's so cool, because the type of movement has been different in the last couple weeks... kind of hard to explain so bare with me... Before it was like kicks here and there, and some body movement, but very little. And now, it's like body movement all the time... and i feel the pressure of him pushing out my stomach... it's crazy! And when I feel the pressure in my belly, I'll put my hand over it, and press slightly, and I can feel him moving and either he'll push back or move away from the pressure from my hand. So cool! I probably didn't explain it very well, but hopefully you get the point :) Basically, I can tell that he's running out of room in there... and I love being able to feel him move so often!

I forgot to mention on my last baby post, but at our 4D ultrasound we found out that he weighs approximately 4.8 pounds, and his head is measuring ahead of schedule! The ultrasound technician tried to make us feel better about it by saying: well, they say, kids with bigger heads are usually really smart! :) Of course our child is a genius, duh! :) She said from 32-40 weeks, babies usually gain about 4lbs... so if he doesn't gain ANYMORE weight this week (which is HIGHLY unlikely) he'll probably weigh about 9 pounds. I'm not going to lie, that scares me just a tad! On Monday night, I had a dream that I had to have an emergency c-section, and he weighed over ten pounds! yikes! I guess you could say I'm thinking a lot about our little bun in the oven :) I called my doctor and faxed over the letter that the 4D ultrasound people gave me, and she ordered me another ultrasound to track his growth.

For planning the women's retreat, all the ladies chipped in and bought me a MAGNIFICENT gift certificate to Burke Williams! I am SO stinking excited to get a maternity massage again! THANK YOU LADIES! That will be so nice, I really want to go soon!

I feel like I'm fighting off a cold... and thanks to my pre-natal vitamins, I think it's staying pretty mild. But It's still annoying. Last night I didn't sleep very well at all, because my nose is draining down my throat, and kept making me cough. So annoying. I'm pretty determined to stay healthy just for our vacation!

Jude's birthday is coming up soon, this will be his 10th birthday that we've spent together! I was thinking today about when we first met, (kind of random, but I saw a lady wearing K-swiss shoes while I was waiting to get my food at the cafe downstairs... and he was wearing that brand when I first met him), and I just couldn't help but smile! I just love him so much! So much more than I ever thought possible.

Anyway... I think that's all I have for now :) I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, I know we will!! :)
