35 weeks

so tomorrow i will be 35 weeks pregnant. it blows my mind that in just 5 weeks i will meet this little baby girl who has been swimming inside of me all this time!
i sit and day dream of her all day long - what she is going to look like and what she is going to be like.
i already know she is going to be a stubborn one... she will be kicking like crazy and as soon as anyone goes to feel her little feet kicking my belly she completely stops moving... and once they move their hand she starts kicking again! sometimes i will trick her into thinking it is my hand and so a few people have felt her in there but its not very often that happens.
she likes to kick a lot during the day when i am at work - then i think she gets tired and doesn't kick a whole ton when i am home around everyone but once i am getting ready to go to sleep she kicks and kicks and kicks. luckily i haven't been woken up by her kicking me but if i do wake up during the night, i definitely feel her trying to wake me up!
she doesn't have a name yet... i always thought i knew the name of my first little girl but as soon as i found out it was a girl ALL these other names started becoming cuter and my old name became a little more blah... so we are still working on the name of this little girl. for now i just call her baby.
i had my first baby shower this last saturday thrown by alex and kd. they did an amazing job and i was so grateful for the nice things people were saying to me and for all the wonderful gifts i received. this little baby is going to be very well dressed i can already tell you that much :)
i have two more baby showers that are getting thrown for me and i can't wait! they are both for different sides of the family and so i am excited to get to spend time with all the girls in the fam.
my brother has a good friend who is a photographer and she took some maternity photos of me! i love them - i thought i would hate them because i feel like i have been looking rather large in pictures but they are actually really cute. she is super creative and the shoot was really fun.
i can't wait to have this little girl - well i am TERRIFED of the whole "having a baby" part but i can't wait til she is out and in my arms. i just already love this little girl so much and my situation may not be the ideal situation but i feel so blessed to be given such a miracle.
here are some pics from the shower and from my maternity shoot!
