2 days late...

A picture of all the lovely ladies on Easter Sunday!!

Sawyer is officially 2 days past his due date, which I doubt I'll be getting an apology for. I'm ready for something new, but he seems to be fairly content in his little home. On the bright side, my awesome siblings have set up a prenatal massage for me tomorrow afternoon!! I am beyond excited about it, and really really touched that they take such good care of me. I can't wait for everyone to be in town next week to meet the little guy. If Sawyer decides to be a completely lazy dude, he will be forced out next Wednesday. This is obviously not my first choice, but that's as far as my doctor advises me to go. I certainly don't need him to be getting any bigger. 41 weeks seems long enough to me...too long really, but I'm dealing.

2 Weeks 2 Go...

Sawyer's room is ready...all we need is the baby! I'm going to weekly appointments now, and technically have made it to full term. Just waiting...and waiting.

33 weeks and counting...

I had a surprise ultrasound today at the doctor. I'm measuring about 3 weeks behind, but after checking in on the little man they found him to be measuring just as he should be. 4 lbs. and growing fast!! His feet are way bigger, and his head took up the entire screen. Much different than he was at 18 weeks. He is already in head down position too, making it impossible to see his face, but a good sign otherwise. It doesn't actually mean he will be here any earlier...I just like to pretend that's what it means.

Brendan and Chris (Bren's dad) put the crib together tonight and it looks amazing. It makes our weird, extra, spare room actually look like a nursery!

Thanks to everyone who came to my shower last saturday. It was so beautiful, the food was super delicious, and we got some great gifts including the most adorable piggy bank ever personalized for someone named Sawyer! Everything we got was awesome, and will come in very handy here in just a few weeks!

Love to all!

Blackout!

Yeah, so I blacked out at Target very briefly and had to sit with my head down fanning myself. It was a little scary, but I was just overheated after my workout, everything is fine. However NO one offered to help me. I'm sorry, but if you see a pregnant woman looking scared sitting on the floor fanning herself, you ask her if she needs help and you get her some water!!! Needless to say I will be taking it easy on the workouts from now on. Sawyer is growing and taking up a ton of space, or at least that's how it feels. He kicks ALL the time. We are slowly getting his room ready, and quickly getting excited to meet him!!

Brendan Got a Job!!

As most of you probably know, Brendan lost his job at Harvest Graphics in early January. But today he was offered a position with Dazium Design Solutions, a small graphic design firm next door to Kemper Arena. It is a temporary position, filling in for a woman who is on maternity leave, which buys us a solid 3 months to find a perfect job for Brendan at the end of April. So still keep your ears open for opportunities down the road. Love to all!!

New Blog

We thought that with Sawyer coming soon, this would be a fun way to keep you all informed and updated, as well as a great way to share pictures and Sawyer stories! We'll try to keep it updated whenever possible, so be sure to check back frequently. This picture is from the 50's sock hop at my preschool last weekend. 28 weeks and counting! Love you all,
Claire and Brendan
