39 weeks

This will probably be my last pregnancy post. WOW. I am now almost 39 weeks. :)

Cassidy started full time day care this week for the first time ever! I am a little sad about it but she is loving it. She asks me everyday if she gets to sleep at school and when I say yes she is thrilled and tells me how she gets to have her own bed like everyone else. The plus side is I am getting all my necessary work done and going home to take a nap each day over my lunch. I have been so tired! I think the reason I am so tired is because I have such a hard time sleeping at night. I am constantly rolling over, I am always so hot and I have been having heart burn. So the mid day naps are an awesome addition to my day.My back has been such a problem. Aaron and I were saying last night that if they did back transplants we would pay any amount of money to be on that waiting list. :) I am trying to tough it out as long as possible so this baby stays in my tummy for as long as possible.

Other than that I have been loving being pregnant. I miss it when it is over. I love feeling the baby move around and feeling her hiccup. I love watching my tummy expand and my belly button push out. I love how I feel mentally. I love how I think I am super funny when I am pregnant even though I know I am not. Aaron says I laugh more when I am pregnant and I laugh really loud. :) I have not been very hungry but could eat cereal every meal of the day.

I am enjoying everyday I have left pregnant but am finally feeling really ready to meet this baby and be a family of four!!

My Independent Girly Girl

Cass has reached a HUGE HUGE HUGE milestone!!! She now wears big girl underwear!!! WOO HOO!! She wears her underwear all day except when she is sleeping and she hasn't had an accident in two weeks! She even wears them all day at school. We are SO proud of her. She doesn't require any special treat anymore she just does it like it is totally normal. She is always telling me she is a big girl and she has had no accidents. :) GOOD JOB CASSIDY!!

(I am hoping we don't have have slides in the backward direction when the new baby comes. FINGERS CROSSED)

This morning when Cassidy woke up the first thing she said to me was "Mama, please I wear a dress today, please!" So today she wore a dress with tights. We have a girly girl on our hands. :) Let me just say that the last thing you would have heard out of my mouth when I was a kid was to please wear a dress. LOL

My MOM

My mom came up for a few days to help me get ready for the baby and to spend time with Cass. We went to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun. I love Fall! It is by far my favorite season especially in Washington. I love the cold but not snow and the pumpkins and the football and the holidays and the list goes on and on. Cass loved picking out pumpkins.
We went on the hayride.

No I am not trying to steal a pumpkin under my shirt. That is just my huge baby bump. :)

We had so much fun. I wish we could go back already but we got 6 pumpkins so we have lots of carving to get to. :)

My mom was so wonderful with helping me get ready. We got out all of Cassidy's old clothes, sorted them, washed them and put them away. My mom may or may not have also helped with our regular laundry too. :) We got everything out and cleaned and after she left I started feeling so much more ready for this baby to come. Thanks mom!!
