36 weeks and counting...

This boy is beating me up on the inside! As much as I will be happy to see Lucas when he gets here, I will be a little sad to not be pregnant anymore. Yes, I'm exhausted and yes, I am DONE being uncomfortable and huge but there is something very comforting about having your baby inside of you. I know that he is safe and healthy and I love that I get to feel him moving around all day long:)

Travis finally got the room painted and the crib put together over the weekend! I'm super excited to see everything coming together for this new little kid:) We really just have to put the changing table together and set up the room and we'll be done. He will be staying in our room in a bassinet for the first 3 months but it still makes me feel more prepared to have his room all put together. I'm so happy that my mom is coming down to help me for a few when he gets here. It meant the world to me to have her here when I had Cole and it was especially wonderful that she was here because I needed A LOT of help because of my c-section. I'm hoping and praying that I will not have to have another on with Luke but I am also trying to prepare myself for anything and everything. I just think how hard it was for me when I had the c-section with Cole and I cannot even imagine going through all of that AND having a toddler running around!! So, I'm trying to stay positive, positive, positive:) I'm also hoping that he comes on his own (a tad early), so that I won't have to be induced. If he doesn't come on his own, I'm being induced on the 25th!! So, there is a chance that I will have him on my dad's birthday (the 26th), which would be pretty cool. But I am definitely pulling for an earlier date, so that he is smaller and so that I won't have to be stuck in a hospital bed for hours on end being induced. So, wish me luck!! I can't wait to meet my boy!! Cole keeps telling me to "get Luke out!". Believe me kiddo, I'm trying:)
