Boys Only!

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...

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:)
