Take On Tuesday: 28 1/2 weeks

I am almost 29 weeks pregnant!!! It's getting so close, yet so far away still.  I am anxious to meet my new little boy! It's strange to say "meet" because I've "known" him for almost 7 months now! I know that he's active in the evening and that he's already found his favorite comfy position in my tummy.... His feet are always on the right top side of my belly.  Head down, which is great.  I know that he gets hiccups every evening around the same time.  Other than that, I don't know a whole lot? Who will this little guy look like? Will he like to sleep? Will he LOVE to nurse like his big sisters and brother have? Will he like trains and legos like Matthew? I am so excited to officially meet him, o see him and touch him and smell him.  I can't wait to kiss his fuzzy little head. It's going to be great to not feel the pregnancy aches and pains, but I will miss sleeping through the night.  Each child is so different and so unique, I just love getting to know each and every one. It will be no different with this little boy. 

As far as names go, we are thinking he will be Joshua Mark.  We've always loved the name Joshua, but when I was pregnant with Matthew I changed my mind.  I knew he wasn't a Joshua... I just knew he was a Matthew.  This time around, we both have no names that just stand out to us and the kids are set on Joshua.  Plus it's a great name with a great meaning.  "God is my salvation."

In other baby news, my good friend Shelby had a baby boy yesterday!!!! So she has 5 girls and 2 boys like I will have. They are almost in the same birth order except her first boy was number 4 (and then she had 2 girls after him) and Matthew is #5... Other than that though, almost the same and our kids are even very close in age.  Most with in a couple months of one another.  I just think that's pretty cool.

So I think that's it in pregnancy news.  My weight is high (pushing 170 now) and my blood pressure is normal.  I am always measuring right on and the heart rate is always good.  At the last u/s he weighed almost 2lbs.. which is normal!!

So with that being said, I am signing off!

Thursday's Thoughts: Quilting update

Well, not much to update! We haven't made much progress since the last update.  Katie and Danielle have started sewing their squares together, but they were looking kind of "bunchy" so I wanted to wait until a quilting meeting to get some help from Jeanne or Cheri.  It just hasn't worked out to meet in the last 6 ish weeks!
My quilt on the other hand is coming along.  I got it all sewn together! It's more bunchy then I'd like, but it's doable.  I went and bought a piece of fleece for the back, but haven't sewn it on because I want to wait for guidance.  :)  Almost done though!
Here it is...

I also plan on making curtains for the boys' room with the same fabric.  That I could do with out a back on it so I have no excuses there! Need to get on it! :)
