36 and 38 weeks

I'm running out of time to get these pregnancy posts up, and they're kind of stockpiling on me.

I'm actually 39 weeks today, but I'm so behind I'm going to play a little catch up here.  It is truly amazing to me that we're down to the final days of this pregnancy.  I remember when I was pregnant with Kyalo feeling kind of sad that the days were winding down and I'd no longer be pregnant.  I don't feel that way so much with this pregnancy.  I'm huge and uncomfortable and can't sleep or do much these days, so having the baby here in the flesh seems wonderful - even if it brings its own challenges and sleeplessness, etc. At least I'll be able to bend over and see my feet and all that!!

A few weeks ago we went to a local garden with friends Aaron and Gayle and Lucas to get some family photos.  The days of being a family of three are numbered!  Gayle took a few pics on our camera, and Aaron took the 'professional' ones on his.  I'll save his for another post, but wanted to get a couple up from that time.

36 weeks:

there's not a lot of exuberance in these two boys. not at all.

If you like these photos, wait til I get the ones from Aaron up!  Gorgeous!!

And then 38 weeks:

I don't even look pregnant here.  

there's the belly

and only getting bigger! ah

Last week, because I'm in the lucky category of 'AMA' (Advanced Maternal Age) I went in for a final ultrasound.  It had been a while since I'd had an ultrasound (I got them at every visit in NJ - a little gift they give us!) I was excited for another little peek at baby.  I was NOT prepared for a 3D picture of our little person!

Our sleeping beauty, all curled up with a hand next to his/her face.  I sent this photo to my sister in law and mom and they said, 'Boy!' and 'Looks like Kyalo!' which is funny because I was thinking when I was having the ultrasound that maybe it is a girl.  But perhaps I'm just wishing. . . 

We'll find out soon enough who's right!!
