36-36.5 week pictures...look at that bump grow! WOW!!!!!!

Sorry for the delay with these!!! Here are some from last week....they are super silly! I took these one night while i was waiting for Stiles to get home from work! Get ready to laugh! I must say the front on pictures of the belly look EXTRA LARGE :) Baby Bee sure is growing and so is his/her Mama :)

 Look at that BELLY!

 I told yall this baby is growing!

 This is my reaction every morning when i see how big the belly grew! haha!

Not getting enough of this FOR SURE!

Impressive huh?! I am quite proud of how the little one has grown these past few weeks, although my organs, skin, and entire body for that matter are feeling the extra LB's not in a good way!!! Oh and by the way, I have officially issued Baby Bees eviction notice... he/she has less than 30 days to vacate! 

Stay tuned for updates on Baby Bee's move out status! 

Big hugs, well as close to a hug as I can give with this big old belly :)

We're getting so close :)

Wahoo the countdown to Baby Bee is getting closer and closer and we are just soooooooo excited! We have the nursery about 90% complete and my "to do" list is down to one or two unnecessary items! I have baby bee's bag completely packed and my bag is about 80% packed! I officially purchased my very first PINK item this past week and it felt a little weird. I guess with so many people telling me that baby bee "is definitely a boy" I have almost forgot the fact that baby bee could actually be a sweet little girl! I rushed to my favorite baby boutique, Baby Bloomers, and found the softest most adorable Kissy Kissy pink gown and a super girly polka dot headband with a BIG BOW on it :) I loveeeeeeeeee it! I also have a blue Magnolia Baby gown with a little "special delivery stork" on it. ahhhhh i cannot tell ya'll how excited I am for the moment when the doctor says.... " and the baby is a ________" I have not felt anxious about finding out the gender this entire pregnancy until the last week or so. Now I'm dying to find out, but secretly love the anticipation as weird as that sounds. Well, here are a few pictures of our nursery and a few of big mama! I will try to blog a lot more these next couple of weeks especially since I'm running out of other things to occupy my time :)

Homemade Giraffe, Curtains and Bed Skirt!

 Stiles painted this bookshelf and did a GREAT JOB!

 Beautiful Crib and toy chest!

 Changing Table and ABC lamp!

 Sweet sweet Giraffe!!!!

Me and kiddo... this was a few weeks ago (35ish)

Happy 36 weeks!

Happy Thursday to all of my blog buddies! I owe each of you SUCH A BIG apology for being so slack these last few weeks. Would you believe me if I told you I have been way to lazy to even update this blog?! Well, sadly that is partly the truth! We have also had a lot of company and last minute baby projects to try and squeeze in! We started our parenting class series a few weeks ago and also took Infant CPR this week. Its hard to believe we are less than 1 month away from our due date :) I had a mild freak out this week when i had my weekly doctors appointment and Dr. Evans informed us that I had already started the dilation process and my cervix was 50% effaced. I think Stiles and I both looked at each other and thought " are you kidding"! I know this doesn't mean baby bee is coming today or anything I could be stuck in this phase for a while but YA NEVER KNOW!!! We go back on Tuesday to see how things are progressing.. updates to come! 
I'm sure everyone is ready to see how this baby bump is growing so I will post some pictures this evening! I don't have any with me at the moment. I have to say everyone definitely knows I'm pregnant now! WOW WOW WOW! 
Sleeping is now my worst enemy. I swear I would rather sleep standing up. This kiddo has packed on the LB's and is destroying my poor ribs and insides! He/she is also noticeably MORE active during the night which makes me a little nervous of his/her sleeping habits! I have tried to reason with this little person but he/she is running the show with this one! 
I'm sorry this post is so all over the place, I feel like its a great representation of my brain these days... More to come this evening! Enjoy your day!


Hugs from BIG BIG MAMA and growing little kiddo!
