Whew where to start

Okay, okay so i have a lot of catching up to do. So expect about 2-3 posts within the next couple of days. I'm going to try and knock them all out right now but that is highly unlikely come-on lets me honest. 

So we will start with my 38th week which is what i left off on. 

This is when things started to get really real and i got more nervous/excited. Papa aka Ty was as ready as ever but i still felt like i had so much crap to do between school and for all of you that know me i am a complete clean freak. So i was constantly scrubbing the house making sure it was ready for McCoy little did i know i was nesting. Ya that's right nesting. It's the time right before you give birth that you get a spurt of energy and go crazy. I just knew that something was going to happen soon, well duh i was due the following week. 

I will write more about what happened this week when i write our birthing story, but lets just say this is when it all started to do down!

The week before we had a check up to check my amniotic fluid because i was measuring really big. I was lucky enough to get these cute photos of our sweet baby boy
