37 wks!

love this shot. the belly is over taking nate. haha
i am up another 2 pounds! that's 7 pounds in 2 weeks! me thinks the water retention has started a bit....haha
see the shirt i have on?  my parents bought that for me when i was expecting ben. i never got to wear it, i remember packing it away to lend to a friend with the price tag still on.  i put it on last week and thought "finally! i get to wear it!" (it was passed around for 3 yrs, so it got lots of usage!)
again, the belly is taking over nate. ha
i feel good. i can't wait for the baby to be born!  i don't like retaining water, it hurts. the good thing is i will sweat and pee it out before i leave the hospital. ha,  this makes the weight total over 40 pounds. how can one only gain 30-35?  seriously???
no fear! it's only a swiss spiderman. see those markers? those are his web shooters
nate wants a web shooter SO bad. he asks all the time, where can he get one?  we go to toys r us and walmart and he looks over all the spidy things then says 'mom, i just want a web shooter!"  i say well lets pray about it and see....and thinking man i am SO glad he can't read yet! cause they do make them but they are over 25 bucks!

but! his mom is a thrifty shopper and about 2 months ago i picked one up at a liquidation sale for 12 and have been secretly holding/hiding it for nate. i bought it to bring to the hospital to give to nate. i can't wait to see him response!

nate funny- i took him swimming at the y last week during a day of rain.  it was pouring down rain wen we pulled in. nate said "mommy, if i was spider man,  i would shoot my webs from the car to the door and you could swing with me and not get wet'

my little protector, swiss spiderboy!

Hey Mel, our midwife gave us a great tip about older siblings (even the ones who are excited about the new baby). She suggested to have a gift for the older child from the baby. It worked wonderful for Katie and it make Maya an instant friend. Maybe Miss E knows about how much Nate wants a web shooter?
Glad to hear all is well. We're excited for you all.

yeah i forgot to add that. i bought it to give to nate from his sister, i know he's gonna love that his sister knew he always wanted a web shooter. haha

nate asked me last week if he could bring flowers and a gift to his sister, out of the blue. i was like sure you can! just haven't gotten around to picking out what he wants to give her, should be interesting....maybe a spiderman mask? or stickers? haha
