Its been a while....

I haven't posted anything in quite a while and I thought I would make an update! I'm 35 weeks along and I feel like a whale! lol I have the wabble walk and back pains and everything! Mark has been working on Madyson's room and things are coming together. I'm hoping we will have it painted by the weekend and looking great! My dad is working on making a crib for little Madyson. He's had a few set backs but I told him Madyson wouldn't be sleeping in the crib until she's like 6 months! lol My dad already made a cradle for Madyson and it sits in our room next to the bed. These past few months have gone by sooo fast.. its hard to believe in about 5 weeks we will have a baby in our home!! There are so many moments when I think "we won't be able to do this in a few weeks..." like get up out of no where and just GO out on a "date"...

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited and Mark is soooo excited... but its just scary how our life is going to change so drastically in the next few weeks. Mark and I have been going to pre-natal classes every Thursday of this month. I thought by taking the class it would ease my fears of giving birth, however it seems like the class tells you EVERYTHING that could go wrong... which puts thoughts in our head... NOT GOOD.. lol I'm sure its easing my mind a bit, getting knowledge on how everything works. I'm just so blessed that Mark is with me through every step of the way! I am so blessed to have a husband that cares so much and that is so supportive no matter what!

I feel so unprepared too.. I've had 2 baby showers and still feels like I have NOTHING I need to have.. I have tons of clothes tho... At least Madyson will be looking stylish huh? lol The thing that makes me even more blessed is to have a sister that has tons of stuff that even if I don't get everything I need with the next two baby showers, I'll get it passed down from my sister. That's the thing that eases my mind to this day.

The thing that is killing me is my carpal tunnel. I feel like such an old lady complaining of such a thing, but its common throughout pregnancy... apparently... I don't get it when I type or anything. its the worse throughout the night when I sleep. I wake up to go to the bathroom and my hand is always asleep. Sometimes its a pain, and sometimes its a numbing/tingling feeling throughout my fingertips... it looks like I might have to buy a wrist-brace to wear throughout the night.. that's sexy right?! lol

I have been in a canning frenzy in the kitchen lately... yesterday I canned about 15 jars of pasta sauce. With my garden and tomatoes that my dad gave me I had a whole box full of tomatoes!! Next time I believe I am going to make salsa!!! Today's agenda is to can green beans! My mother-in-law is going to come over later to help me... The new problem is that we don't have room for all of the canning I'm doing.. hahaha

Well thats all for now... I'll try and update more often!
