37 weeks
Someone asked yesterday if I thought I was carrying lower this time or if maybe Andy had already dropped. I haven't really paid attention to how I've been carrying him, but I had taken a photo yesterday and I looked at the photo I'd taken at 37 weeks when I was pregnant with Kaylee. Looks like 1-this is apparently my 37 week pregnancy photo sweater (I didn't realize it until I checked the old photo later, after I'd already taken the new one!) and 2-not sure if I've been carrying lower the whole time or if he's dropped (though breathing has gotten easier and I've had to pee more lately, so that could be), but my belly does seem to be lower this time.

Bedroom
I wasn't necessarily expecting to get this done tonight, but Jamie occupied Kaylee for an hour or so when he got home and I was able to hang the name, photo board and a photo frame on the wall during that time; so I think Andy's room is about ready! Here are some photos...
The swing and bassinet are in a temporary spot until we need them in a few weeks.
I painted the letters in his name to coordinate with the bedding, and a friend gave us the picture frame she made special to go with his room.
His armoire is holding quite a few diapers, wipes and other baby items for us at the moment.

36 weeks
Me & Andy this morning at 36 weeks pregnant:
His room is nearly done! We got a mattress for his crib today and I hope to hang a few more things on the wall this week (like his name above the crib, and a board for photos). The plan is for him to sleep in our room in a bassinet for a little while, so it'll probably be at least 2-3 months before he's actually in his own room. I figure it's easier to get things done now than after he's here. Maybe?
I also finally did a load of baby boy laundry - no pink in sight, which is very odd to me. And I had forgotten how tiny newborn clothes are!! You don't really realize, or at least I didn't, until you pull them out of the dryer to fold...they're so small they don't even really seem fold-able!

Showers!
The past two weekends we had a couple showers for Andy. Last weekend I went to a local tea cafe with a bunch of neighbors and had a delicious lunch and Andy got lots of great gifts. Only took one photo there...me and the yummy red velvet cake!
Yesterday some friends threw a Dr. Seuss themed shower; so cute and creative! Once again, we were blessed with so many wonderful things for Andy; he's a very lucky little guy with so many people who love him already!
Welcome to the shower:
Kaylee/Thing 1 and Andy/Thing 2! :-)
Hostess Kim with me and the front door.
Look at all the yummy food! Kaylee's favorites were the cookies and cupcakes, of course. It was all very creative and delicious!
Kaylee really enjoyed being included in the shower, especially when she got to open a couple "big sister" gifts!
All our wonderful friends and family who could attend: Sharon, Grandma Barb, Brooke, Lynnie, Nana Sally, Jenn, Pam, Lisa, Kim, Renee, Gramma Mary Jane, Great-Grandmother Naomi (aka Memaw), Maggie, baby Emily, me & Andy, Jenny and Meriam.
And me with the hostesses: Jenny, Pam, Kim, Renee and Meriam; huge thanks to all, especially Kim, who I think started planning this as soon as she found out I was pregnant. You can tell - no detail was overlooked!

3D ultrasound
We got to do another free 3D ultrasound session today, and this time Jamie was able to come. We did get a CD of the images; here are a few of the little guy at nearly 34 weeks along...not long until we can compare these to him in person!

Quick update
Last night I finished painting the letters to hang above the crib in Andy's room; I did them to match his zoo bedding set:
And here we are last weekend, 32 weeks pregnant:
At an appointment yesterday, everything is still good. My blood pressure was just 104/50 - even lower than usual! It's usually somewhere around 115/60, give or take, but it just seemed really low to me yesterday (still good and normal). Maybe because Kaylee was at a friend's house all day and I had time to get in a nap before my appointment? Otherwise all is well, too; heartbeat still nice and strong, and I didn't even gain a ton of extra weight thanks to Christmas eating. :) Just 48 days left now, but who's counting??
