35 weeks and still going strong...

So the last couple weeks have been hard, but I am so grateful that I am living in Heber with so many friends and family around. We have been blessed with meals being brought and people taking our kids for a few hours. I think Katelyn has really enjoyed all the play time she has gotten with other kids. The other day the Martineaus came to get the kids and she grabbed the diaper bag turned waved good bye and was out the door before we could even say good bye. With being on bed rest I am still going crazy trying to get things I can do and not strain myself. It is hard when there is so much I would like to get done before the baby gets here. It has been two weeks since I was put on a non strict bedrest and I am hoping to be able to go back to normal after my dr apt next week. I will be 36 weeks on Monday this baby seems to have relaxed more and is more content on just staying in a while.

Katelyn is excited for the new baby and since the first time she had the baby kick her while laying on my stomach whenever she sees the baby move she will say mom did you hear it mom, instead of feel it. She keeps asking if she can see the baby and tonight when I asked if she was excited to be a big sister again she said yes that she can kiss it and hold it and give it hugs.

Canon is completely oblivious and luckily has been really good at just playing and running through the house. If he wants me to love on him he will run over to where I am laying and lay his head on me. Then he will jabber and tell me all his adventures. I think this has also been good because he is going from being a momma's boy to enjoying his dad so much more. When Boston comes in from his office to check on the kids and I Canon will drop what he is doing and run as fast as he can to Boston.

Boston has been great. He has picked up on the extra chores and been great dealing with an overly emotional wife who wants to just be back to normal. He has always been a great dad and I love when he comes in just to wrestle with the kids for a few minutes before going back to work. I know I could not make it through this pregnancy with out him. He is excited for the new baby and has "His" names for it picked out. Now I just need to either agree or find something that I actually like.

So all in all this has been a great experience for my family and we are are just eagerly awaiting this little ones arrival when the Lord feels it is time to enter this world and our home. I know I have been truly blessed through out this pregnancy and can't deny the Lord's hand in my life.
