Back from Blog-ternity Leave...

Holy Cow! I was just looking at our blog and realized how long its been since my last post. Has it really been nearly 5 weeks??? So, SO much to catch up on.
First, Jon and I are back in the beautiful warmth that is Arizona. I took this state for granted my entire life! I love the sunshine and the mountains and the sunsets/sunrises. I never, ever want to leave this place and my darling husband agrees 100% (thank goodness).
Pulling into the valley, being 34 weeks pregnant, I was in such a hurry to get settled and ready for our little Paxton's arrival. I must have drove Jon crazy with all the worrying and nagging I did about finding a place to live. He found us the most amazing home and we moved in after being in AZ less than a week. This is our house! We are currently renting but we plan to actually buy it sometime next year. This is our bedroom. Jon has been absolutely amazing with getting everything set up. Ive spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks sitting in a comfy spot and telling him if something looked center or where I thought something would look good. Its been so much fun!
We've done a lot of things to get ready for the baby. I had two wonderful baby showers with my family and friends and Jon and I are so grateful to everyone for all the support and help we've been given.Jon was so excited to start putting things together. Here is the "crib" that Pax will sleep in for the first couple of months. We figured buying a bassinet wasn't so practical for us right now since we'd only use it a short time so we found a pack n play that had a bassinet adjustment and a changing table! And I lOvE the cute little owls :) Here's the most recent picture of my ever enlarging stomach. I said goodbye to sleeping comfortably this week. Up until this point Ive been ok but come on, do you SEE that huge thing sticking out the front of me? Enjoyable car rides are also a thing of the past. I still love being pregnant. Ive discovered the beauty of a warm bubble bath and a husband who will rub my back at all hours of the day and night. We're SO close to the day of arrival and neither of us can believe its already here and that we're going to be parents!
