Pregnancy- Week 36



We're getting closer and closer to Parker's arrival! I'm really excited to see his sweet face. His room is ready and just needs our sweet baby boy! Makenzie is as prepared as she can be for what is about to happen. She introduces herself as a big sister to people and tells them that she too has a baby in her belly! A five year old friend of hers was really upset about Makenzie saying this yesterday. She told Makenzie that she couldn't have a baby in her belly because she had to be a grown up and married first.

As for me and the pregnancy. I'm doing okay. I caught a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror and realized...I'm HUGE. My back has been better than it was with Makenzie, probably because I'm not working. This week my pelvis has REALLY started hurting. I'm in pain with almost every step and rolling over in bed requires a lot of effort. At my check up this week my doctor checked my cervix and I'm dilated about a one but not effaced at all. Apparently this is typical for a second pregnancy. I'm excited to see what the next few weeks hold for the Neal family.

Letter of the Week-P











Makenzie was happy to practice her coloring, cutting, and pasting skills with this fun "Letter of the Week." I would've never thought to do anything to help her learn her letters, at least not this creatively, had it not been for http://www.notimeforflashcards.com/ I love her posts and try to emulate them with Makenzie often. Obviously I don't always blog about them, but I thought this "P" peacock turned out too cute!

Parker's Room









I intended to show the work in progress of this room, but I know all we really want to see is the final product. So, here it is. We love it. Now all we need is our baby boy.
