Less than fifty days to go... that is if he comes "ON TIME" :)

Well hello there!! Sorry that it has now been over a month since we have taken the chance to blog. We have had busy weeks and time just seems to be flying by right in front of our eyes. I cannot believe that there is seven weeks until Ayden's due date!! We are getting more excited with everyday!! I am feeling more and more ready as he grows and takes up even more room in my abdomen. I feel sometimes that he is bruising my ribs with his little feet. :) Good thing I can gently move him some when he is poking out in funny spots. Yesterday I had a 33 week doctor appointment and once again they assured me that everything is looking normal and that my uterus is measuring very normal as well. I asked the doctor if he could guess his weight and he said they don't tell until closer to his due date... but measuring average by the books means Ayden is 4.4 pounds right now!! Crazy to think in the next few week he will gain a half a pound a week, and I will as well!! :)

Below are a few updated pictures of my belly and how it is growing out of control!! I feel so big compared to how I was nine months ago but everyone here, even strangers, comment on how small and compact I am carrying him. It is funny to have strangers comment on your body, but I guess this prepares me for people making comments about Ayden after he is born. There are times when I will lay on my side and my whole stomach will shift because of his movements. It is a really fun and amazing time to be carrying him. It just amazes me the certain things that are a part of pregnancy and God creating a little baby!! I am thankful though as each week passes that he has longer in my womb to develop and be ready for all the things of this world.

Min and I are enjoying our days together before Ayden arrives. Min has been working longer hours than we are used to, but we are just thankful for the job that God has given him to be the provider for our family! As the Fall leaves change we are hoping to make a trip, even a day trip, to the mountains here and take in the beauty of God's creation, and He makes the leaves change form green to vibrant yellow, orange and red!! Hopefully we will have pictures to share sooner than later. :)

Here is me at 32 weeks pregnant :)


My tummy looks a little pointed to me with a shirt on.


Below are some changes we have made to Ayden's room, we painted letters for his name and hung them, as well as a little coat rack that will hold hats and bath towels and coats too :) Min and I love the San Francisco Giants, and this little hat I got for him when I was back home in May before we found out we were having a boy... we would have put it one a little girl too!! :) We also took the doors off of his closet and put up simple curtains to make his room seem and feel bigger. I think it worked well. We are slowly but surely continuing to prepare his room. It is getting there!! :)

We love and miss you all and pray that this finds you doing well!! We are so excited to eventually be sharing pictures of our son with you via the Internet!! And for those of you in California, we booked tickets home today for the dates of Jan. 30 through Feb. 9!!!!! So be ready to meet our little man when we travel home. Nana if you are reading this be ready to eat some pie with Min and I in celebration!! We send our love!!!!
