36 weeks and counting

God has been so good to me giving me such a smooth pregnancy! I had my 36 week appointment this past Monday and my doctor said "continuing on with the perfect pregnancy". Cameron is still head down and would be perfectly fine if he were to decide to come before Aug. 5th. He is such an active little guy, which means he is also a healthy little fella. When the nurse was checking for his heartbeat she asked me "are you having a contraction?" I said...."uhh I don't think so". I assume I would know if I was. She said my tummy was just really tight, but honestly I think that was just his little bottom sticking out...I feel like he is really running out of room in there now! I will continue going in on Monday's for my weekly appointments.

We had a great 4th of July week! Every year Honda shuts down the week of July 4th so not only was Jason off the entire week, but my early retirement started last Wednesday too. I am no longer employed by the church as we have decided it will be best for me to stay home with Cameron. I have a few weeks of vacation here until Cameron decides it is time for him to be my new boss. :) It's his call when my new job starts--and I'm so excited about it! I am SO so very thankful that we are in a situation that I can do this. Of course it means cutting back ALOT, but it is a sacrifice I am more than willing to take. Jason of course has a spreadsheet (it's the engineer in him) so I can see our new money situation. Not only is he good at spreadsheets, but our little boy's dad is pretty good at wakeboarding too.

We were able to spend the weekend in Decatur visiting Jason's family and our friends Andrew and Lesley and their new baby girl. Jason's parents have a beautiful lake in front of their house and every year on the 4th the neighborhood has a fireworks show. It's good ole fashion fun with a pavillion stocked with desserts, friends and family with their camping chairs and some great fireworks! That will probably be my last roadtrip away from home though...30 min. is far enough from the hopsital for me.

Until our little man gets here I've been enjoying time with friends, taking walks in our neighborhood, doing a little yard work, cooking, cleaning and taking a few dips in our new above ground pool---it's about 3 feet high but does the trick when your hot carrying an extra 23 lbs! It took a few attempts to get it leveled but Jason got it up and running and boy have I enjoyed it!
