36 weeks

Well, we have reached the 36 week mark (on Wednesday technically, but close enough) which means since the doctor will not let me go past June 5, I only have three weeks to go. That sounds pretty good to me right now, since I am pretty uncomfortable most of the time. :)

My last day of work before the baby (unless he would come before then) is going to be May 29. A lot of my co-workers are asking me how I am going to make it that long even...Some of my co-workers gave us a really nice gift of a bunch of baby stuff yesterday, it sure was thoughtful of them. Everything will come in really handy, though with this being our third there really isn't anything that we need.

I continue to have my ultrasounds every Wednesday and a doctor's appointment and non-stress test every Friday. Our neighbor Sarah has been watching the kids on Wednesdays and Brad has been going in to work late on Fridays so that I am able to go to the appointments by myself.

Last Wednesday on the ultrasound I was able to see the baby's hair, which the ultrasound technician pointed out, and she also showed me his male anatomy.He passed his test in 5 minutes!

On another note, last Thursday we lost a very important member of our extended family. Brad's best friend of over 20 years lost his mother, Linda to liver cancer. She was 57 years old. She was one of the best people we knew and we will miss her more than words. Jeff and his wife Jeanne are also expecting their third child about two weeks after us. They too are having a boy.

Next Friday, the 22nd, Brad and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. We sure have been busy in those 5 years :)

Congratulations to my cousin Jessica and her husband Chris as they welcomed their brand new baby girl Emma on May 7. She joins them and their son Troy.

Congratulations to my cousin Nate, who will be getting married on Friday to Mary. Best wishes to you both, I wish we could be there to celebrate with you :)
