38 Week Bump Pic!

Hi Everyone!

Here's the latest and greatest bump pic! This is me at 38 weeks. I can't believe how much he's (thus I) have grown. I feel like he has done some major growing over the last couple of weeks. Only a short time and he'll be here! We can't wait. I'm still feeling really good for the most part. It is harder for me to get comfortable at night and I get tired of just sitting at my desk during the day, but other than that, I don't have any complaints. Grant and I watched McClane moving around last night. He was kicking me pretty hard and you could actually see and feel his little foot in my right side. It was pretty amazing.

My last day of work is next Wednesday, May 6th, and I can't wait! I'm going to need that next week to get McClane's nursery ready because his furniture STILL hasn't come in. The furniture company assures me that all of the furniture is on its way to Boston and they will deliver it either the end of this week or the beginning of next week. They will assemble it too which is great - that's one less thing for me to worry about. But I just really want to hang pictures and make everything cute and organized and I can't do anything until that furniture gets here. I'm not one to procrastinate when it comes to things like this - but I've had no choice this time! I guess I better get used to things not always going as smoothly as I want them to. I'm thinking McClane will change life up a good bit when he gets here! We are so excited though and can't wait to meet our new son.

We'll post more soon!
Love,
Lacey and Grant

New Ultrasound Pics!

Grant and I got to see McClane yesterday and boy has he grown!  My doctor thought my stomach was measuring a little small for how far along I am so she wanted me to get another ultrasound to make sure his growth is on track.  And we found out that he's just fine!  He is already measuring 5 lbs 11 oz. and I've got about 3.5 weeks to go so we're looking at McClane being around 7.5 lbs if he continues growing at about a half a pound a week.  We were so excited to see our little guy again!  He is already head down and I have already "dropped" so he is preparing himself to come into the world in just a few short weeks!  We can't WAIT!  The doctor was able to get a good view of his face and he has the cutest bow-shaped lips.  He seemed to be pouting a good bit poking those lips out - it was so funny.  And he opened his mouth one time and stuck his tongue out at us!  He's already proving to have some personality! Here are some pics from the ultrasound.

This is a profile picture.

He's poking those lips out in this one.

This one you might have to study.  It's a face shot.  You can see one eye, his nose and mouth, and a hand kind of in front of his face.

New Bump Pic and Surprise Shower!

Hello Everyone! I am now almost 35 weeks along!! I can't believe it! McClane will be here before we know it and we can't wait! I am posting my latest baby bump picture - we took it last week when I turned 34 weeks. McClane is definitely growing as you can see! I'm still feeling really good. It's beginning to get harder for me to get comfortable at night. McClane seems to like only one or two positions which I get tired of laying in but if I try to swap it up and sleep on a different side, he lets me know really quickly that he doesn't like it. It's pretty funny. But overall, I still feel great. I ended up having to fly home last week for a couple of days and the travel took a bit of a toll on me as far as swollen feet and being tired but I'm getting back on schedule now. The swollen feet are kind of a constant now. Not too bad but they look funny to me.

My great friends at work threw me a surprise shower on Friday. Grant was in on it too and came over for a surprise lunch shower complete with sandwiches, salads, and a beautiful (and yummy) cake. They really loaded us down with lots of goodies. We got over 200 diapers and 700 wipes, a diaper dude (man's diaper bag - Grant loves it!), a diaper genie, our video monitor, and an umbrella stroller plus sweet little outfits and bath stuff. It was a lot of fun and so sweet of them. I really work with the best group of people.

Here are some pics from last week. Hope everyone is well!
