34 Weeks, A Wedding and A Baby Shower!

34 weeks...seriously?! Oh my goodness, oh my GOODNESS! Just typing that out seems crazy. In 6 weeks or less (as big as this child is, I'm so not going past my due date...even if I have to beg and scream) Knox will BE HERE!! I am so exited/nervous/scared/ready/ecstatic...I feel like I go through every emotion there is every single day when I think about him being here so soon.

We started childbirth classes last week. It was interesting to say the least. Everyone had forewarned us that they show really graphic videos. Yeah, that was no joke. Clayton informed everyone that he saw a woman poop (he used a different word) out a baby. That was seriously what one of them looked like. I had to explain to him later that every video we watched was of a women going through natural, drug free childbirth. I have no intentions of even trying for that...I am totally pro-epidural. So it won't be like that for me. I think that made him feel better. I am terrified of needles, but I am so much more terrified of horrible pain. At the end of the class the lady told us to bring 2 pillows and a blanket next time so we could practice comforting techniques. Clayton asked if we had to go to that one. I told him we didn't...I have a Junior League meeting anyway. I think he was quite relieved that we didn't have to go practice things we won't even use in front of a room full of strangers!

We went to a wedding this weekend and had so much fun! The bride was a friend from high school and she was absolutely beautiful! We had so much fun dancing at the reception. I got tired really quickly, but it was fun to be able to act like my normal self! I am so thankful to be feeling so good. I even wore heels! And danced in them too! Okay, they were really wedges...but close enough for a pregnant woman! I, of course, took like 2 pictures...none of which show anything about the wedding. I have got to be better about taking pictures. Here are a few for you!






I also had a baby shower this weekend! It was SO much fun and now our house is full of baby things! It is so weird and so exciting to see all of Knox's stuff everywhere. I have loved putting all of his things away in his room. We got so much great stuff and it makes me that much more excited for him to be here!! One thing that has made me laugh so much...we got this video monitor that I registered for. A friend of mine told me it was the very best so I just went with it without even really reading about it. Yesterday when I was unpacking everything, I figured I should open it and make sure it worked properly. Well, it took me about half an hour to figure out if it even worked at all! It is so fancy and I had no idea how to work it! I even read the directions! I finally figured out and I know it is going to give me so much peace of mind when he is sleeping in his own room. It's almost like I'm in there with him! Technology amazes me.



Last but not least, here are today's 34 week 2 day pictures for you! I know you can pretty much tell in the pictures from this weekend, but figured I should have my regular picture too! Not the best pictures...my clothes today aren't great picture taking clothes but it will have to do!
