my favorites

So here i am at 34 weeks pregnant. with nothing to do but sew, i sewed all day long ; which is strange because i don't think I've touched a sewing machine since home EC in grade 7.
But being on maternity leave has been really fun; i thought i would just sleep all day but since Blakes' been back to school i get up with him at 6 in the morning ( after uncomfortably "resting my eyes" (as im' not sure how much sleep is actually involved) for about 4-5 hours) to make him breakfast and his lunch and send him off to school, i feel like such a mom already! i can't believe that in nearly 5 weeks i could be a new mom; i am getting anxious to meet him but it will be so weird not being pregnant anymore!
This got me thinking about what my favorite things about pregnancy are and have been.

1. When I told Blake I was pregnant and he just stood there as i hugged him and jumped up and down and he made me take like 3 more tests just to be sure, and when i told him i wanted to tell my mom and he made me wait, and i accidentally ended up telling her over text thinking i was texting him and not my mom.

2. When i heard this little guys heart beat for the first time. that fast paced washing machine sound nearly melted my heart.

3. The first time Blake could feel our son kicking and his little "ooh" sound that he made each time he did get to feel him. Also Blake complaining of heartburn when I'm the one supposed to be getting it, does that mean my baby is going to be bald?

4. Having an excuse at work to get away from my desk for a while because of my urge to go pee every half hour. My incredible ability to put away my whole lunch before 10 am and still be starving.

5. My mom getting to be there for the 4-D ultrasound and how nice my ultrasound tech was - she gave me more videos of my little guy then what i paid for, but i just love to watch him move around!

6. Speaking of moving around... my new favorite thing is to play " guess that body part" he is getting SO strong that at time i feel he is going to burst right through my skin. some how he can kick my ribs and my bladder at the same time! its like jaws when hes moving around in my tummy a ripple here.. then a ripple on the other side.

7. When Blake falls asleep using my tummy as a pillow and the baby continues to kick his face like he knows its Blake and he's telling him to stop snoring.

8. When i sing "I am a child a God" He turns into a kicking machine ; i think he likes that song.

9. His hiccups. Even though they come bang right at 11pm when i am lying down to sleep i love knowing he is there and that constant reminder.

10. The Teenie tiny baby clothes I've already collected; he is going to be so spoiled that's for sure. I'm in love with baby shoes, even though they don't need shows and they will just fall off and you will never have a pair again, i can't help it, they are so cute!! i bought a pair of these monkey slippers , i cant wait to put them on him!!

i just can't wait !!!

just a sneak peak of our family pictures, still waiting for the rest of them!
as you can tell our family really enjoys there red vehicles!
we came home from church on Christmas day and my dad had parked all 4 vehicles on our front lawn ; he's named them and everything.. just a minor obsession :P
