36 weeks

We are now 26 days away from Hunter's due date, and Kevin and I are full of various emotions. One minute we're excited, while another minute we're scared and nervous. Regardless of our current state of emotion, I know I am definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore! Although I love feeling Hunter move around, I am looking forward to being able to breathe, find a comfortable position to lay in at night, and see my feet again instead of these puffy swollen ones I've had lately. Yesterday I went to see Dr. Richter and had my strep test done. She also checked me for the first time and said that I was 80% effaced and 1/2 cm dilated. We go back Monday for our ultrasound where she will be able to tell us how big he is and if he is head down yet. I can't wait!!! I'm really hoping she will tell me that he is a big baby, so I can feel much better about the weight I've really started to pack on the last couple weeks. Kevin and I have been busy lately with several baby showers, and finishing up Hunter's nursery. We truly appreciate all of the gifts, advice, and prayers our friends and family have given us. It means more to us than you will ever know. I'm including a few pictures that we have taken lately. We took my monthly belly picture, and a couple of Kevin practicing how to change a diaper. I've also included a short clip from our small group baby shower last night, where Kevin had to change a dirty diaper on a baby doll. It only took him 8 wipes and 2 diapers!!!
