Pregnancy Update: 36 Weeks!

4 Weeks!  Our little baby Ezekiel will be here in 4 weeks or less!  I seriously can't believe it.  

We have been doing SO much to prepare for this little boy.  We've taken our Childbirth class, had the baby shower, purchased all the little and big items we need, packed our bag for the hospital, and much, much more.  Of course you can never truly prepare for your first baby, but I'm trying to do my best to get as much done as possible before he arrives.  Really there are 2 big things left - 1) To move into our home, and 2) Set up his nursery.  Both of those things should be happening very soon too!

As you can imagine at 36 weeks, my belly is getting huge!  I'm all belly and it's definitely the first thing you notice.  Because I'm getting so big, I've purchased a belly band to help "hold" up my belly and not put so much pressure on my back.  It helps, but my back still hurts - It's only natural.  Sleeping is still hard.  I definitely need to put my feet up more often and try not to be on my feet to long.  And I definitely walk slower, although I haven't started to waddle!  But I truly do feel great - Thank God!

At 30 weeks, 6 weeks ago, we took professional pregnancy photos.  They were taken by our very, very close friend, Jackie Wonders.  She's an amazing photographer and always takes the most perfect pictures.  It was so much fun taking these pictures and I'm so glad we took them when I was only 30 weeks.  My belly has gotten SO much bigger since then and I would've been way more uncomfortable if I waited until now.  Here are some of my favorites:

Be back soon with a recipe!  I'll also be back with some pictures of my baby shower and of the dessert table I created :).
