8 Months

I cannot believe it is July 1st and I am 8 months pregnant. I only have 6 weeks and 2 days to go or 44 days, but who’s counting? Carter is the size of a pineapple and weighing about 5 pounds and 19 inches long. I am getting so anxious to meet my son. I am still feeling really good. The HOT Fresno weather is starting to get to me and even our pool can’t cool me off. I am getting a little sick of my maternity clothes, and tired of having to use the bathroom at all hours of the night. We have been very busy preparing for the birth of Carter. Blake and I took a childbirth class and a breastfeeding essentials class, but I don’t recommend either one. After both classes I felt I did not learn anything valuable and I either already knew most of the things they were trying to teach me or I did not agree with them. Last month I was beyond blessed with two amazing baby showers and we received so many wonderful things for Carter. Last night we took maternity photos with Cori Derksen and I cannot wait to see them! We have been busy finishing Carter’s room, packing my hospital bag, and making sure my diaper bag is stocked and ready.
