Derek and I are very busy these days. Derek's been busy watching basketball (I guess I've been watching it too) and I've been busy getting things ready for Jackson. Only 7 more weeks to go (give or take a week or so). We finally got all of our bedding so his crib is ready to go! His nursery is really starting to come together. We had our first shower in Brownwood over the weekend. It went well. We got lots of cute clothes, blankets and hooded towels. We even got our Pack N' Play!

I am 33 weeks now and as you can see, I am really starting to look huge! I am finding it harder and harder to fit through certain areas. For example, I can no longer slide between two chairs even if the two chairs have a good distance between them. And yes, I tried (different ways actually) not really thinking about it but soon realized it just wasn't going to happen. At least those around me got a good laugh myself included!

We have finally decided on a name for our baby boy. We debated back and forth between Davis and Jackson pretty much since we found out we were pregnant. And after many many talks we have decided to use Jackson Ray. This was the name we picked out about 4 years ago or more as our first sons name so we couldn't let it go. But at least we have a name for our second son! (if we have a second son)

I am 31 weeks pregnant and continue to grow each day which I know is expected. :) I am now seeing the doctor every two weeks which will turn into once a week when we are a month out from his due date. A good nights sleep is pretty much out of the question now! Between middle of the night bathroom breaks and trying to find a comfortable way to sleep I really don't get that much sleep time. But instead of getting annoyed, I just remind myself how blessed we are to be having a baby boy and what joy he will bring into our lives. Reminding myself of this really helps to put the "lack of sleep" in perspective. And I only know it will get worse but its well worth it!

I can't believe we have 9 (or less) weeks to go!! Wow how time flies.

Today I officially became Daisy Duck. My butt sticks out the back, my tummy sticks out the front and as of today, I waddle. Maybe because my feet hurt, maybe because our baby is weighing more now but either way, I waddle. So my favorite word for today is QUACK!

The great news is I have 10 (give and take) more weeks to go! He continues to move and in more interesting ways. Derek and I were watching him move the other day (by looking at my tummy of course). We decided to poke my tummy where he was moving and he decided to poke back! Yes, we poked him and he pushed right back. It was really funny but surreal.

Derek and I took maternity pictures a few weeks ago. They turned out to be very cute. It's a little odd to look at yourself with such a big belly but I know one day I will cherish them more than I do now. I have uploaded just a few:) I was 26 weeks at the time of the pictures. I am 29 now and my tummy had grown!
