That means only 5 weeks (or less!) until we meet Baby Boy Schritter. We met with our doctor today. Looks like I lost one pound since last visit, so I've gained 17 pounds this pregnancy so far. My tummy measures 35 cm, which is exactly where it should be for 35 weeks! Doctor says he seems pretty long. He's pointed down like he should be, but he's still kinda far up so he hasn't "dropped" yet. Our next appointment isn't for another two weeks, right after the fourth of July. The closer he gets to coming the more exciting yet also more nerve-wracking my life gets! We are really excited to meet our son and be parents, but that comes with all kinds of worries about raising someone that depends wholly on us!! Not to mention that I've never gone through labor before so the unknown of that makes me really nervous. As long as I can avoid a C-section I think I will be alright!! Plus, I try to keep in mind that women have been doing this since the beginning of time. I should be able to do it too!! I think all of the basic stuff he will need is ready to go. He has a crib and changing table, and a couple of packs of diapers to get us started, a dresser, two car seats (one for each of our vehicles), a rocker glider chair, a stroller, a baby bath tub, lots of other odds and ends. and some really cute clothes given to us by friends and family. Next weekend my friend Jayme is throwing us a baby shower so I think the number of clothes might grow some! I'm always amazed at how small the clothes are, and baby shoes are the cutest things ever!
Our anniversary was on the 12th. 3 years married, but we've been together since 2008. Jake does so much for our little family and I couldn't ask for a more caring, loving, attentive partner to go through life with. He nearly always makes dinner for us every night after a long day at work, and he always does what he can to help my life (especially with this pregnancy!) easier. He knows me better than I know myself. I know he will be a fantastic Daddy because he is already a great husband!! Usually for our gifts on our anniversary we have stuck to the "traditional" yearly gifts and this year was supposed to be leather. I got him a new belt (which he needed), and a Fossil watch with a leather strap. This year he strayed away from the traditional and bought me diamond earrings and a beautiful diamond necklace!! I really am a lucky girl. :)
