The Third Trimester... here already?!?

We can't wait to meet you baby Sawyer!!

Not only is it here, it is almost over! It seems like I was just writing a post about being pregnant and now there is only 5 more weeks to go until we get to meet this little guy! We are so excited we can hardly stand it! I have been feeling pretty good lately and little Sawyer is just growing like a weed. Lately at my appointments he is measuring big, so we'll see what happens when he decides to pop out! Seeing as Hayden was 8 pounds, 8 ounces, I am guessing Sawyer will be a big guy too. The doctors sure seem to think so. I think they are just trying to get me to agree to being induced early so they keep telling me he is big, but I guess we will find out closer to time. For now, I'll stay on my pregnancy diet,(yes, you read that right... they only want me to gain 6 more pounds!) and hope that keeps our little man the perfect size. For anyone who knows me really well, any sort of diet just sounds hilarious... I'm not big on restrictions. It is quite a stretch to think I can cut out french fries and sweet tea, but I guess I will try to limit it. I'll let you know just how long that lasts or if I actually make it to the end only adding 6 more pounds! I do love to eat!!:) Oh, and Sawyer is the most active guy ever, so I feel like he must love the food I am eating... I would hate to deprive him! Here are a few 3d pics from an ultrasound we had back at 28 weeks. I'm sure he's much bigger now(7 weeks later), but at least you can see him!

This crazy little guy had his legs up by his head almost the entire time we
were there. I guess he's pretty flexible! Maybe it is these crazy positions
he gets in that makes it a bit uncomfortable for Momma...

But, at least he's comfy and cozy! He slept the entire time we had
the ultrasound done. Of course I always tell everyone how
much he moves about and then he sleeps through the
whole ultrasound... he just had to make a liar out of
me!:) About the only movement we saw was
when he moved his leg and decided to put
his hand up by his face! So sweet!

And I just had to include this picture of Hayden when we had his ultrasound done at 32 weeks for comparison sake!:)

They look pretty similar huh?!?

We have been doing everything possible to make sure we are ready for Sawyer's arrival, including getting Hayden's new room ready and putting a few extra touches to Sawyer's room. We haven't yet, but are about to get down all of Hayden's old things from the attic so we can put those to good use again, and so I can see if there are any last minute things I am forgetting(you know how the pregnancy brain works!)! I am calling Zerorez to clean our carpets again, making new cabinet space for the bottles/breastfeeding accessories in the kitchen, making room in the living room for the swing, bouncer, etc., getting the newborn diapering needs set up, putting the pack-n-play downstairs, setting up one of the monitors in our bedroom with the cradle... are you bored with my list yet?!? It goes on and on, so I just think I'll stop there!!! Nesting is not even the word for what mode I am in right now... it is so beyond that a new word needs to be created. I am just so worried it's not going to be all ready that I go into panic mode. Lucky for me I have Matt to keep me somewhat level headed!:) I am also blessed with great friends and family, so that makes it nice as well. A good friend of mine, Tina, had us a little Baby Sprinkle(cutest name ever right?!?) this past weekend, which was super nice. I really couldn't believe it... it was so great! Some of my closest friends and family were able to come and we all had a great time. Tina had a few cute games for us to play as well as the best food ever. We had so much fun trying to answer questions about nursery rhymes and playing baby bingo, and everyone loved the food. My favorite was of course the HUGE chocolate strawberry cupcakes. They were amazing! I am so mad I didn't get any pictures of the food... it all looked so cute how she had it set up and tasted even better!:) Oh, and the decorations and invitations were precious! Needless to say, we all had a great time chatting, eating and doing all things "baby!" I am so lucky to have such great friends and family and really appreciate everyone "sprinkling" me with all things Sawyer! Although I didn't get any good food or game pics, I did manage to get some cute ones of the attendees...

Almost everyone!

This girl really knows how to throw a party... love you Tina!:)

Had to get a picture with Kahlia... the best photographer ever!

Can you tell I enjoyed opening gifts?!?
Thank you everyone... I loved them all!!

Such cute invites...

Jenn, Kimmie, Heather, Michele and I... the best neighbors ever!

Farrah is also included in the best neighbors category(she
just had to leave a little before we snapped that pic)!

Mom, Meghan, Meem and I... Gran, Aunt Kitty, and Elizabeth
had already exited the party. Thank goodness they
made it in the big group pic!

Now, to top all of that off, our good friend Kahlia from JKMitchell Photography, took some maternity photos for us a couple of weeks ago. I told you we are really getting ready for this baby. I just had to have some belly pics and am so thankful Kahlia could take them for us. We absolutely love them! I can't wait to show Sawyer what he made Momma's belly look like!! There can't be a better photographer out there!:) Kahlia always takes our pics for us and I couldn't be more pleased. You can see more of her work here. Beware though, before you click on the link be sure you have time... you are going to be on the site a while just staring at the cutest pictures ever! I am already thinking of how cute the baby pics of Sawyer are going to be!:) Those little baby pics just make me melt. So cute! I made a little slide show of some of the maternity photos and have put some of my favorites below...

Isn't this just the cutest?!? One of Hayden's daily "baby" kisses!:)
I LOVE it!!!

I just love this one...

So much love in that one belly!

Happy as can be!

Peek-A-Boo...

This one definitely wins the funniest award! I laugh every single time!:)

And now for the slide show...

Thanks again Kahlia! We love them all! And to you baby Sawyer... we love you so much already and can't wait to meet you. Not too much longer now!!!
