Waitin' on Jacob: Week 36

Last time I weighed in at 140 pounds and boasted a 41-inch girth, I was just days away from delivering a baby. According to my doctor, I've still got about four weeks of cook time left on this current bun in the oven, so I'm thinking I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Jacob and I are still packing on the pounds and waiting for the big day to arrive. I'm hoping for a good chunky 8.5-pounder. If he comes out fat and happy I won't feel so bad about all the discomfort I've had to endure of late as he adds things like compressing my spine, making my legs go numb, kicking me in the ribs (that one hurt), and causing me to outgrow my maternity clothes to his list of favorite activities.

In other news, I finally finished the kids' big/little sibling t-shirts for that classic family photo we'll attempt in the hospital. Since this third child of ours isn't getting a room or a crib of his own anytime soon, this is pretty much the extent of my nesting. So the completion of this t-shirt project means we're officially ready for little Jacob's arrival. Who needs a place to sleep when you've got a cool custom t-shirt?
