Nine months and counting....

Month 9

Ohhhh to be finally NINE months pregnant...almost in my 38th week!! Baby is big and running out of room!!!! A few thoughts for this special last month of being pregnant:

I prayed for this child and the LORD has granted me what I have asked of him; 1 Samuel 1:27
We truly feel SOO honored and blessed to be given this baby boy!! I have just been elated this whole entire pregnancy ( up until about now...now he just needs to come out :)) and have absolutely enjoyed being pregnant!!! This pregnancy came without any complications and I felt beautiful the entire time! Thank you Lord for this amazing and special time in life!! I actually can't wait to do it all over again:)! Maybe in a year or two though!

* Mama still loves spicy mexican food, queso, shaved ice, frozen yogurt, fruit, hamburgers, and 
salads

* I LOVE LOVE rocking the bump! I love all pregnant bellies and mine is my favorite!!!

* I do not sleep. :(

* wedding rings are off, hands and feet are swollen and it's real hot here in Texas ya'll 

* I have gained a total of 31 lbs 

* I still walk every single morning and swim most afternoons to relieve hip joint pain

* Every morning I take time to go into Jax's room and just look around, pray, or sit still and feel him move. 

* Jax loves to keep his feet high in mama's ribs and also he loves to head butt his head in her nether regions and makes her feel like she is having an electrical shock problem down there!!!!

* I have never been more ready in my life to love, snuggle, and take care of my tiny boy. I hope you come soon Jaxie. <3 







I have an obsession with Mocktails. I try and create different recipes and I almost always use Trader Joe's organic juices for them!!!



Also I love starbucks..:)





Mornings in my baby's room are special..and quiet for now :)





did a little nesting and bought this chair..nesting does mean online shopping right?? :)


Colt sniffing his brother one morning


my current obsession. 



I looked out my bedroom window and saw brandon showing the boys his new "toy" lol I thought it was funny...boys never grow up



Us in our wedding spot. Hard to believe that was two years ago, now we get to bring our baby to the ranch and make special memories with him!




My summer fruit of choice is watermelon!


Just the fur babies and me watching TV. They follow me everywhere and its really cute :)



Darkened my hair for convenience...highlights every 4 weeks with a newborn seemed like a terrible idea


A sweet surprise in the mail <3





I am hoping I can maybe do one more post... and then A BIRTH STORY!!!! 
Come on baby Jax we are all ready to meet you!!!

Life Lately!!





Haha!! I laughed so hard when I saw this..its so true!!! I , for the life of me, CANNOT wiggle out of bed anymore!!! This belly is so big!!! I usually take a few minutes each morning to lay in bed and just feel baby Jax kick. I know we are going to be nearing the end of this pregnancy soon and although I am SOOOO ready to meet him, I really love just feeling him every morning just the two of us :) Then I waddle out of bed like this turtle ^^^^


Pedicures while pregnant are literally the best thing ever. I have always loved them but now.. omg they are everything!!!!!


On this night we went to Silo..


At Church listening to Max. We love our church so much and listening to ML is amazing


a bored belly selfie


This happens daily now. 


Happy Memorial Day!!!! 


We celebrated memorial day just the two of us at my parents house while they were out of town. It was great..I swam, Brandon cooked, we listened to music, and then we came home and put together Baby Jax's high tech super cool monitor :/ I had to have a few lessons but I think I have got it down. Its the motorola MB3 for those interested. 


I did all my baby's laundry :) The smell of the baby detergent was heavenly!


As of the past two weeks my feet no longer fit into anything but flip flops.. so my husband ( who rarely does the whole "surprise " thing) went out and bought me these shoes!! It was seriously so sweet of him!! He could have thrown in a cupcake but I mean I won't complain.



Hiking the Japanese Tea Gardens at nearly 9 months pregnant! #gogirl



I love this part of SA! 


We collected fresh veggies from the ranch..and then gave tons of them away to our neighbors!!!


Mom and I enjoyed a spa day at our favorite JW Marriott. I took my time and took everything in because I know this is the last bit of pampering before I'm a MOM!!!!!!!!!





Baked Snapper with garlic basil sauce

Happy Wednesday!!!! It is SO beautiful outside today!! We started our morning off with a very long and productive run..we stopped...
