Week 29: Overdue update!

29 weeks and 11 more to go! I've gained 23 pounds so far and I'm starting to feel the effects:) We are now seeing the doctor every 2 weeks. We're on the home stretch!!

Here's me at 28 weeks. I apologize for slacking on the updates.

Not a great baby bump picture, but the camera died before we could do a re-take.

Technology is awesome. Last Monday we had our 4D bonding ultrasound. Blake and I both left the doctor's office with feelings of joy and excitement. I know there's a baby in my belly, but seeing him in the ultrasound just makes it much more real! It's pretty obvious Sawyer has most of Blake's physical features, especially his nose. Blake's a proud daddy. He keeps the ultrasound picture on his phone screen saver and every time he looks at it, he says, "That's my boy." It makes me smile....a lot. Sawyer sure is an active little fella. We saw my stomach do the "wave" thing the other night. Whoaaa. He also likes to kick and move around when it's time for mommy to relax. But that's ok. It's all worth it:)

My cuddle bug:) 

Last week was my first week officially back to work and by Friday evening, I was absolutely exhausted. My feet hurt, back ached, and I was in the bed by 9 p.m. I met my new group of 2nd graders Friday evening. I have 12 boys and 8 girls. I guess God is giving me some experience by having all those boys! Ha! I am just all kinds of excited about this new year. I'm not sure how well I'll sleep tonight. I'm feeling the "first day jitters."
