37 Weeks

Well I am officially within the "full term" range. Anything goes now! I am so ready for this pregnancy to be done. I feel HUGE and know that I am definitely bigger than I was when I gave birth to Tyson. This little guy is gonna be nice and big. I guess that means he is taking after his mom...kinda. I was HUGE and I'm sure my mom is somewhat grateful that she had to have a C-section since I was a breechling as well! Anyways, I went to the doc on Weds and was dilated to a 2! I didn't hit 2 cm until 39 weeks with Tyson. We have been on a couple nice long walks since then and I plan to walk EVERY DAY until this little guy gets here. I hate that it is so hot though! I wish it were cooler so I could walk outside but for now laps around the mall is my thing!

In other news from the house, Chris got a new job as a CNA! He is so very excited about it. He has done 2 days of training so far this week. Today is his 3rd. He will do one more on Monday and then Wednesday is his first shift on his own! He is definitely enjoying it so far and is excited to start doing things on his own. He also has his CNA certification skills and written tests scheduled for the 26th of this month! We are going to get practicing and studying hard for it but I already know that he is going to pass with flying colors. This is definitely what he is meant to be doing and I know that he is going to love the nursing field more as he gets further into it!

We are all settled into Laurie and Clair's place. Everything where it goes and even all the baby stuff set up and ready to go. I am so glad to feel prepared for Colton to get here. The only thing I don't feel prepared for is having 2 kids! I love how excited Tyson seems to be about being a big brother but I worry that once he really understands what is happening he is going to have some issues. I know that he has lots of family and friends around to help give him the attention he will need and deserve but I still worry that he'll feel neglected somehow. I am told these feelings are normal though and that I will amaze myself when it all comes down to it. I guess we will see.

Our lives are pretty simple for the time being. I guess it is just the calm before the storm! We can't wait for my family to get into town next week and to be able to have them here to share this wonderful change in our lives with us. Hopefully next time I get on here it will be to introduce you to our newest little addition, we will see though!
