one of the best weeks of my life. it's amazing how much joy baby heath has brought to our little family of three-- we are loving every minute of having him here with us.

i. am. huge.
I am seriously questioning (1) why I waited until I was 38 weeks pregnant to take a picture of my pregnant self instead of 12 or so weeks ago when my baby bump was actually a manageable and normal size and (2) why I am posting this pic on the blog for all the world to see. I have felt huge for a while now, but my doctor kept telling me I was measuring right on track...until my 36 week appointment when "all of a sudden" I was measuring big. really big. by the next week's appointment my doctor told me that with the size of the baby and all of the extra fluid I had I was basically carrying twins. awesome. seriously, who wants to hear that?? they continued to run a bunch of tests to make sure that the baby's size wasn't due to any kind of birth defect, and thankfully everything seems to be okay. so, even though I am not technically due until the 17th, I am going in on tuesday morning! which is scary but really exciting. so basically i am huge. and uncomfortable. and ready to meet my baby!! I can't believe the time is almost here.
just the two of us.
since this was our last weekend before the baby, we decided that we needed to make it pretty spectacular. unfortunately, because i am approximately the size of a whale and even things like sitting in a chair/picking something up have become major challenges, our options were pretty limited. so we went to dinner, saw a movie, and pretty much just hung out. nothing special. it made me realize that even though our life is usually nothing spectacular, i will always look back on these last four years where we have been able to spend all of our time together with the best of memories. we laugh over the fact that we really don't have "couple friends" that we do things with (we are kind of losers in this sense...), we pretty much just do everything together. and even though this usually consists of nothing more than running errands, going to the gym, or grabbing a late night treat, i have loved this time that we have had with just the two of us.
