It's May 18th which means that within a month our family will look entirely different with our newest addition! I can't hardly wait for the newborn snuggles and the excitement of welcoming our sweet baby home.
I officially hit 35 weeks in my pregnancy this week. We celebrated Mother's Day over the weekend and took our parents to "This Little Piggy" in Altoona to get some updated photos of our sweet boy. I'm currently measuring about 3 weeks ahead with a strong likelihood of high fluid, just like my pregnancy with Sammy. The tech guessed that he was weighing about 5lb 11 oz. He already has big cheeks and lots of hair and eyelashes! I can't wait to hold him in my arms.

At my 36 week appointment we will have a growth ultrasound done just to make sure that everything checks out OK, and to see if the date of my c-section needs to be changed. With being high fluid I run the risk of my waters rupturing early and increased contractions. I've been having plenty of contractions during the day - but nothing time-able or with a pattern. I guess we'll see whenever he wants to make his debut. :)
At night when I put Sammy to bed I always sing him a song and it makes the baby dance like crazy in my belly. Sammy has named the baby "Diddums." Last night he told me that we needed to sing the song to Diddums, and then he told me all of the things he is excited to do with Diddums over the summer. He has big plans for his little brother. :) He says that they are going to go swimming, go to a baseball game and eat hot dogs. Then he said, "Wait, mommy! We have to get Diddums a fishing pole and a fishing backpack so we can go fishing this summer!" We've talked about how when the baby comes he'll spend a lot of time sleeping and eating, but Sammy is determined to make the most of the summer with his new brother. I can't wait to see their little bond grow! I pray everyday that they will be there for each other for happy and sad times, and that they will grow into good friends.
