35 weeks


Here is our baby boy at 32 weeks.  We got to see his cute little profile
and he was opening and closing his mouth, it was so crazy to see.
I can't believe it's already almost September!  
At my recent check-up my Dr. told me "well if you start going into labor i'm not stopping you" which is unlikely but still a possibility.  Everyday I think to myself this could be the last day I sleep in, or this could be my last shower before i'm a mom, or this could be our last time eating out as just Josh and Chelsy.  Which i'm sure is just going to make it go by slower.  We have the nursery almost all the way done and we have been shopping for baby stuff to pass the time.  We went to babies r us last night and looked at all the different kinds of binkies for at least 15 minutes.  Josh doesn't squeal at all the little baby things like I do, he just casually puts things he likes in the cart and says i'm buying this.  It's so cute!  I'm starting to compile my hospital bag, and attempting 
to get as much sleep as possible.  A lady at church the other day told me don't be to anxious, they are easier to carry in there then out here.  Oh boy.
We can't wait to meet this little guy!! Who knows maybe next time I post it will be pictures of him....haha ya right.

Our anniversary

Last week we celebrated our 3rd year of marriage!!
I can't believe it has already been 3 years, time sure does fly.
We had a pretty low key day that consisted of a doctors appointment,
Cinegrill, and a couples massage.
It was so nice and relaxing, and just what I needed!
I have to brag about Josh.


Josh has been at every single doctor appointment with me.  Even on his busiest days he manages to meet me there for ten minutes.  He has been such a great support system through my whole pregnancy.


He (and my cute dad) coached the Redsox and they won the Championship
undefeated!


It was so cute to see all the boys call him "coach" and how well he trained them and all of his patience with the boys.  He put in a lot of hours for the team and turned to me after it was all over and said "just think next year my son can sit in the dugout with me."


Josh has some funny habits that only I see.  Everyday he comes home, and empties his pockets into his money jar.  Every few months he counts it up, takes it to the bank and cashs it in.  He gets giddy over how much money in change he collects.  And every now and then I can tell he has just gone to the bank because my money tray in my car is empty.

Josh has been subtly preparing for "fatherhood."  One night out of no where he asked me if it was weird I was going to be a mom, I said ya and asked him if it was weird he is going to be a dad and he was quick to respond YES!  He is such an easy going guy and is very good at not stressing out or overreacting (unlike me) but I can tell he has processed this in his mind a lot lately and I can't wait to see how he bonds with the baby. 

Every time we buy something new for the nursery or get gifts from showers he loves putting everything into its place.  He couldn't wait to set up the stroller and practice folding, unfolding, lifting the car seat, and adjusting the straps.  He loves looking at all the little outfits, trying to decided which one he thinks we should bring to the hospital.  While we were shopping at babies r us he asked me if he could pick something out for the baby.  He picked out a plain blue striped pj set.  At first I thought he was kidding, but he was so proud of what he had picked out.  Every time we go to the grocery store he looks at diapers and binkies.  It is so cute.

He has been amazing at all of my emotional ups and downs, and has catered to my every need.  He calls me during the day to see how i'm feeling.  On the rare occasion I'm not doing to good he focuses his whole attention to me and what is going on (even though he probably carries more stress on his shoulders than I can wrap my head around.)  He works so hard and works long labor filled days, but when he gets home he always makes sure to spend time with me.  I know that as soon as he gets in the shower when he gets home he will call my name and say come talk to me.  He loves talking about what happened that day. 

I have never felt like marrying Josh was a mistake, but sometimes I have moments that remind me how lucky I am to have him as my husband.  Recently I was on my way home from work and I was stopped at a stop light trying to turn.  I looked over and there was Josh, at a windshield repair shop walking out to his car.  He had no idea I was watching him (and at first I felt like such a creeper) but I just watched him thinking, wow that is my husband.  What a catch.  I truly feel like we were meant for each other.




Love you Joshy!!
