I am in my 30th week now and everything is going great! I have gained 15lbs but it feels like so much more! Little Jack is still pretty active, I just can't wait to meet him! I am now going to the doctor every 2 weeks so that is very exciting for me! I remember thinking back in the beginning that when I started going every 2 weeks it would be close...I have somewhere around 10 weeks left but that now sounds longer to me! hahaha! I am probably one of the most impatient people on the planet, so this whole 40 week pregnancy is hard for me! Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying it thoroughly but I am so eager to have him here!
We celebrated Ross' 7th birthday yesterday with an "army" themed party. He wore camo and had his face painted! Several friends joined us for some birthday party fun! The kids played outside in Ross' new fort that Derek built him for his birthday. The fort is really awesome and I am very proud of Derek and all his hard work! He didn't use a kit or anything...he is very talented! The fort is complete with a rockwall, trap door, and secret treasure chest that has a lock and key! Ross LOVES it! Rita made the most awesome cake ever! It was a tank shaped cake and it looked amazing and tasted just as great! We are so thankful for her talent b/c she makes all our cakes so very special! Ross starts first grade tomorrow at a new school. I can't believe summer is coming to an end but I am not complaining b/c I am SO looking forward to October!
My baby shower was this past weekend, Saturday August 8th. It was wonderful and I really enjoyed seeing friends and family! We got lots of great things and I am just more and more excited for baby boy to arrive! I still have 11 weeks so I am going to have to be patient! The shower was thrown by Cat, Miranda, Amber and Mindy and they did an awesome job of making it very special for me. Fun games and great food! Rita made the cake and it was perfect...of course! Oh and I guess I can announce baby boy's name now....... Jack Connor Harris!!!!
