I have been noticing all the boy bonding that has been going on around our home lately. I know I am already out numbered but it hit me how much more out numbered I will soon be! I love the relationship Lane has with his dad. I thought I would be the only true love of Lanes life but it seems as though I have some competition :) It melts my heart to see the joy on my boys faces as they spend time together. Lane eats up every moment he gets with his daddy like doing Saturday chores, washing the cars, running errands or even just playing together. Sometimes I feel gypped in all their fun little outings but let's face it, it's just not as cool to go to the dump with your mom! Plus it is nice to have a little alone time sometimes:)
can you tell where Lane gets his love for basketball shorts?!
.
As for baby boy, he is definitely ready to make his move! I think he can hear all the fun that his dad and brother are having and wants in on it too! I am almost 37 weeks along . I had a doctors appointment today where they started checking me. I went in with the lowest expectations seeing how I went to 41 weeks with Lane. Much to my surprise I am almost dialated to a 4 and 70% effaced ! Wahoo that made my day! Who knows when he will decide to make his grand entrance but I am hoping it will be sooner than later. I have had a great pregnancy and can't complain one bit. The past few weeks have been the toughest though. I have to sleep with 3 pillows to keep the heart burn down at night and I swear my stomach acid has burned a hole through my esophagus. You can get a little depressed as well when you get large and in charge in certain areas of your body and realize that they aren't parts you want bigger. Why is it that the smallest size nursing bra they make is a 34 B? Really, feel the love for the less fortunate! However, like I said, I can't complain. My mom was cute and mentioned that she can officially call me Shelley belly now. She is right, I have a big belly. Here are some pictures of my belly progression...
. . 18 weeks . . . . .............................................................. 24 weeks . .
. 28 weeks..............................................................................32 weeks
36 weeks

Like I said, baby brother is more than welcome to show up at anytime. He will be greeted with big open arms mostly by his sore back, hole-y throat mother! Well, if he could wait till after my hair appointment that would be GRAND! A baby can't start it's life off with a WT mom:)

LOOOOVE IT!!!
Mom called me tonight and told me the update I couldn't believe it when she said he could come any week now. I'm so excited to see my new nephew!! You're still the cutest pregnant girl I know, And I just realized this means I need to find someone else to do my weave when i come home for Thanksgiving, dangit. Well good luck hope everything goes ok :) when I come to visit I'll take Lane for a day for ya
You have officially been the 'LEAST COMPLAINY PREGNANT WOMAN I HAVE KNOWN'. You definitely have shown that you have easy pregnancies. And with how cute you are...YOU MAKE IT LOOK GLAMOROUS! You seriously are so adorable and this baby will not have WT mom, whatsoever.
Such a fun post...I'm assuming probably your last before the baby comes. So how many months off of church are you taking?? 2? 3? Well can I still come over and play?? HEEHEE. Paradise Bakery here we come! I can't wait to meet the fella!
LOVE YA!
NOOOOOOOOOO! I hate to wish a preggy lady a late due date, but I was secretly hoping you'd go over a few days. I just want to see him all newborny! I just made that word up. Being late is the worst but I'm still gonna secretly hope you at least go to your due date. :) So, when I was reading this post it only showed the first two preggo pics and I thought those were RECENT. I was freaking out about how small you still were. And I can SO relate about the nursing bras! Why do they assume you'd have to be a B while nursing? Just not a reality for us is it? I was just happy to not be a double A. So even with nursing, do you think you might do some bottles? Cuz I have lots of unopened formula and rice cereal that needs a home and I thought I'd bring it with me over Christmas.
And yes, it's been a while since I've posted, but there really is nothing exciting going on. I have all of 2 pictures of the past week on my camera. I might do a boring post today nonetheless.
Btw, any news on Brook's husband getting interviews? I haven't heard from her since our first conversation.
Stop being so cute!!!!!! Miss Prego. I can't wait to meet him and you better text me when you have him. I'll bring you a blizard from DQ =) You are having him at Gateway right??
Umm ok why doesnt sister/aunt val get the news??!! Im sooo excited for you guys! And you look danggg good! Oh and I think I need to have like 2 playdays a week with Lane..or more..because that made my night! I love you!!
Oh my gosh Shelley. You are so small! I'm only about 10 weeks and I feel like I look like your 18 week pic! I am now going to eat better and exercise more. Thanks for the inspiration!
I was exactly like Steph where for a split second all I could see were the two pictures and I thought you were only as big as the second one. You are so stinkin cute, are those even REAL maternity? They sure don't look like it. I was hoping to see you right after you had him too, but sounds like those plans might not work. I can't believe you are so far along.
Don't get me wrong, it seems like you dilate and efface much sooner with the second, but you don't look like your going to be much longer.
I'm not going to lie.. I did have a melt down one time and was teary when I thought of how out numbered I was and that it's not fair that guy stuff is just more fun to do for them. I've been trying to get more and more into it, but it's just not always natural, huh? I think it's hard just not knowing if Adam will really want more. I'm working on it though. Paxton is definitely a momma's boy though and that makes me feel good.
OH man you are such a cute preggo lady! Cant wait to meet your new little one!
OH man you are such a cute preggo lady! Cant wait to meet your new little one!
FINALLY some belly update pics!! My favorite thing! Prego bellies are the cutest!! You make pregnancy look easy! (and stylish!) Adorable that's all I have to say!
Seriously Shells....such a fun post. I love little Lane and Casey-how cute are they!? But oh man...Lane's mom is so good looking!!!! Really, are you allowed to look that good when you're pregnant? Wait, he can't come til December, I need to see you fully pregnant! haha.....jk make him come before Thanksgiving so we can meet him! LOVE YOU!
Dialated to a 4!!!!!!!! He is already almost half way out! It was so hard for me when I had Hallie, I felt like I was ruining Ashlinn's life. It turned out to make her life better, but at first we weren't sure. :) Lane and Casey are too cute together. Good luck. Let's go walking!
oh you are so cute prego!! i hope you get to have the little guy early :) can't wait to see the baby!
k so here is what happened when I looked at this blog last time...I started reading the paragraph before your prego pics, but got sidetracked by your cuteness and failed to notice that you said you are almost at 4 and 70%!!!!!!!! AHHHH so exciting!
Can't wait to hear the name! I haven't heard if you're telling or not :-)
If only I could look that good when I'm about to deliver-one hot mama for sure! So fun to have 2 boys together-they will be best friends.
you are the cutest! good luck with everything and yeah yeah yeah for progressing! you're so close...
