Almost Here!

The past few months Pancho and I have been getting ready for our little man!  That includes getting the new house ready and making lots of purchases.  It's really exciting just imagining what it will be like just a few weeks from now.  We've been given a few different due dates, but they're all about the same, ranging from June 12-June 15.  Less than a month away!  By the end of next week we'll have everything ready.

The upcoming birth has pretty much taken over our lives.  Pancho has his things that he wants to get done before the birth, and I'm feeling big and uncomfortable.  We just finished our last birth preparation class last week and we've been reviewing the basics- like diaper changing and swaddling.  Mostly, I'm just really curious about this little guy, I really want to get to know his character.  Since our 10 week ultrasound, he has always been on the move and very squirmy.  I felt his first kick at 17 weeks, and have felt him moving and getting stronger.  However, the moment someone tries to feel his movements too, he stops.  Maybe he's shy?  But when he thinks he's alone he's having his own little dance party.  But his poking little bones aren't too comfortable to me.

Here he is when we first saw him moving.  That is his head to the left and his little arm was going up and down.  The little white spot in the middle is his arm.

Pretty proud of our creativeness in making the closet into his changing area.

Something that we both like is when I get into the pool (well, I don't know that he likes it, but he always jumps around as soon as I get in).  I tried to do other exercises, but the pool feels so good.  I'm so grateful that we have easy access to one.  The only thing that doesn't feel good is getting out- and not because it's cold (which it isn't) but all the sudden my back and legs feel the weight again.

This is at 33/34 weeks.  I don't look as big as I feel.

Last month I had a baby shower.  It was nice and small and super beautiful.  And for Mother's Day Pancho and I went to a small city nearby called Atlixco.  I bought some strawberry plants and basil, and afterwards we had breakfast in the downtown.  Right now we're just really looking forward to having our son here.

It really was a perfect morning for a baby shower.

Here I am at the plant nursery.  The hill in the back has a church on top.

And here is Pancho at breakfast.
