Family Fun Time - Weeks 37-40




Ahh, 37 weeks, and the countdown is REALLY on!
Stats:  measured 37 weeks, babe's heart rate: 140; dilated to 2, not quite 3.


One of my personal favorite times of day is the mornings and bedtimes with Kincaid!  I especially love when he wakes up HAPPY, as he appears to be in the picture with Jon.  Can you see his enthusiasm?!?  I also hate to pass up morning snuggles, which I've had to do now that Jon is on spring break and Kincaid apparently really does have that sleepy VK gene!  All week my early riser (we're talking 6-6:30am until this past Monday) has slept until 8-8:30 every morning!  That means I don't get to see him from when I put him down for bed until I get home each evening...sad :( but glad he is getting good rest and thankful for the timing, as I know I'll be happy to have him sleeping in starting next week when I'm home with the new baby for a couple months!  As any reader of this blog knows, Kincaid loves to read morning, noon and night!  At night, he insists that we sit under the covers and is quite clear where he expects you to sit, "right there" he will say while pointing his sweet chubby fingers!  And who can resist that?? AND who can't help but love that sleepy face and bed head - can you see why I'm missing him each morning?!? Here is in (picture 4 above) slurping down his new favorite breakfast - smoothie!!


Climb, climb, climb!
Kiddo loves to climb, crawl, wrestle, throw, etc.!



Getting in some fun outdoor time on a pre-spring day!  Jon sure knows how to make this boy happy!  Give him fresh air and some dirt to play in, and he is happy.....sounds like his dad :)


Exploring the great outdoors on a walk a couple weeks ago.  It was BEAUTIFUL out, though VERY windy!  I feel like saying, DUH, every time I mention the wind here because we do live in Kansas!  I'll just help you all out!  Expect that every day here is windy unless noted otherwise!

One of his cute little quirks is that tongue always sticking out!  Can you see it in a couple of the pics?


38 weeks!
After a great lunch with some friends, we took a stroll and captured a couple pics of this ever growing bump and my silly boy Kincaid!

Stats:  measured 38 cm; babe's heart rate was 138; baby added 38lbs to my body! Yikes!! 


Love these two guys!!

At my 39 week appointment last Friday, I measured at 40, was dilated to 3 and baby's heart rate was 148.  It was a gorgeous day outside, and since Jon got out at noon for the start of spring break, he and Kincaid made the trip to Hays with me!

Caid spent time with Nonni and Granddude while Jon and I enjoyed the afternoon/evening together and dinner with Tyson/Kathy!  What an awesome day!

I'll be 40 weeks on Monday, and my final dr. appt will be this Friday (hopefully).  It's so hard to believe that this journey is coming to an end, but boy I am happy to be meeting this little one soon!  I think both Jon and I thought that the little one wouldn't hold out until the due date, but it's looking like that will be the case!  I'm okay if that changes and babes decides to come NOW!  I'm impatient!  (remind me of this next week when I'm sleep deprived!!)
