The Final Month...

Well as of today we officially have exactly one month until our due date!

Of course I wouldn't object or be surprised to have her come just a little early.

So here are the current stats:

• Baby B still has no name. Some days I am okay with this, other days this causes a lot of terror and anxiety for me.
• Baby B is still breech. She should have turned on her own by now. But I think there's just not enough room in there. The Dr. will check her one last time next week, and if she's still upside-down she will have to try to turn her manually.
  
• Heartburn and acid indigestion are going to be the death of me. No matter what I eat I have a few nights a week where I am up all night throwing up because of the acid boiling up my esophagus. Sometimes it even wakes the neighbors. For real. They tell me so. I carry Mylanta everywhere and sip it straight from the bottle.
• My wedding rings still fit and my belly button still doesn't poke out. (miracles DO happen)
  
• Everyone asks "are you ready?" I hate this question. It's like when we were getting married and everyone asked "are you excited?" What do you think? Of course I'm NOT ready. Is anyone ever ready? What are you supposed to say. But to answer: yes and no. I can't wait to meet her and hold her. I feel like there are still a lot of things we need, but I feel like we have the necessities that we could survive if this happened tomorrow.
  
• We have had one shower already. I was SO incredibly overwhelmed - and I realized just how loved and blessed this baby is already by so many people.
• Motivation seems to be dwindling as quickly as my wardrobe choices these days. My best approach currently is to set a daily goal (NO LAUGHING). Examples: "today I will change the sheets" or "today I will unload the laundry basket" yesterday's was "today I will clean out the pantry". But after 9 hours at work the best I could do was the bottom 2 shelves since I could sit down and reach.
  
• Currently the ONLY thing I have a desire to do is sit on the boat and fish.
  

More exciting news, Baby B had her first experience on a horse on Monday! One of my good friends just graduated college in photography and convinced me we should take some "belly photos" just for fun. So obviously we went up to the ranch. I haven't seen them yet, but she did send me one unedited sneak peek. And since I haven't posted a belly pic in MONTHS, this will have to do. :)


In the meantime, Aaron has been riding Jack for me. They've been trying to go up in the mtns. to start scouting for his big elk hunt this fall. I am SO jealous, but Aaron has fallen in love with Jack and I'm afraid I won't get him back.

Who would have ever thought he'd make a cowboy!
