Here is baby boy at 34.5 weeks...I am now 37 weeks (and bigger too...)!!
I love, LOVE to be holding my baby so close to the front of me, to feel his strong movements, and know that he and I are inseparable...for now at least.
I recently talked about my struggle with remembering left from right, and how my dancers are so good to help me out when I make mistakes. They continually make me feel so good about my changing body, and have grown to love this little baby boy and his presence in our classroom.
We think we're so funny...
We frequently laugh about how funny it looks to see a third trimester pregnant woman on pointe...and no, I can't do very much with them on. I try, but then my feet cramp up too badly when I try to heave my heavy upper body onto my toes... looks like my pointe days are running out until AFTER baby makes his appearance.
We've been so busy with finishing the basement, arranging the baby's room, getting through Nutcracker rehearsals and performances, and biggest of all, preparing and solidifying ideas for Primary next year...
now that those things are beginning to come to a close I find myself dreaming endlessly about this sweet baby. The big day is coming quickly, yet not fast enough! If you have any advice on what to bring to the hospital, please let me know!

Bring your comfy clothes and large shirts. I wore my own clothing most of the time instead of the hospital gown. Bring your own lotion and box of kleenex. The hospital's facial tissue is not very soft.
You look so cute Kenzie! Hospital: dark colored comfy pants for after baby, socks, boppy nursing pillow (I was so tired I could barely hold up my tiny newborns to nurse!)... and have people bring you lots of good food! don't be afraid to send your baby to the nursery at night. get all the sleep you can!
For the hospital bring a hoodie or sweatshirt with a zipper, so you can nurse easier. Also, I brought some bath and bodyworks body spray-so many visitors and sometimes you don't feel "fresh" and I also wished I had a little mirror to make sure I looked ok, so I didn't have to get up and go to the bathroom and look. (That may sound vain, but I would hate to be talking to lots of family and friends with a booger in my nose or something.)
You're too cute!!! What a lucky baby to have you as a mom!
Honestly I didn't use half the stuff I brought to the hospital. If you forget something, you probably won't even remember that you wanted it in the first place. Haha! :) One thing I would recommend though... bring your own Ibuprofen. The hospital offered me pain medication all the time, and I didn't realize that it cost $5 dollars a pill. Ok maybe it wasn't that much, but I was still frustrated when we opened the hospital bills.
