Step by Step

It is hard to believe we are getting close to Caleb's due date. About 7 more weeks and Caleb will be here. I am still feeling good but starting to miss my old body. I am still going to the gym, working full time, and doing (most) everything I did pre-pregnancy which I am blessed to be able to do. But, having a growing child in my tummy, who is a night owl, has taken a small toll on my sleep. I try to rest and relax after work each day and on the weekends. But, I still find myself up a few times during the night tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable (while Braden snores soundly next to me). I think the hardest part about being pregnant for me has been giving up some of my stubborn independence. I don't like having people do everything for me. I have to remind myself that just because I can physically do things, doesn't mean I should do them. I have had to let Braden do a lot more for me as I grow bigger and unable to bend over or reach top shelves or lift and move things. Braden has been a great husband through it all.

Slowly but surely Caleb's room is coming together. Every weekend Braden and I work on putting together baby gear or organizing the gifts we have already received. I think we are close to being ready for Caleb's arrival.


If you know me, you know that I am super organized.
This is one of my favorite gifts, the changing table organizer.
I will have everything I need to change Caleb's diapers, right at my finger tips.
Now the hospital will release Caleb to us
Caleb's Car Seat
We picked up my Glider & Ottoman last weekend
It is super comfortable and I can't wait to rock Caleb to sleep
I have been busy washing Caleb's clothes before his arrival
It is so cute to see how short all his clothes are in the closet.
Also, check out Caleb's cute shoes on the top shelf
