{one} month to goooooooooo...

Let me start off by saying... "My ribs! My ribs! My RIBS ARE ON FIYA!!!!" (sing to "The Roof is on Fire!" Little man is so high and loves to shove his feetsies in my ribs all day and night! Holy crap! I have had a lovely pregnancy, but for some reason, these last couple weeks have been a bit painful and emotional. Maybe its a mix of Colby working hard, studying like crazy, coming home late, NO sleep, heartburn, AND we are just ready to meet this little man. However, I am SO grateful to Colby for literally working his butt off. He is finishing his Masters Degree in Finance a week before my due date. Its a 3 year program, but he is finishing it in 2. Once we found out this baby was on his way, Colby made it a goal to be done before he got here... SOOOOO lets just hope little man doesn't come too early.
As for baby updates, I have been going once a week since November 1st. A couple weeks ago my doctor was measuring my belly and said; "Honey, you are way too small to be having a baby in 5 weeks. Lets get in there to see whats going on." Um, yeah... that was a little scary & weird to hear since I feel HUGE. So I called Colby and he came with me to the ultrasound just in case we got some bad news. No bad news other than we are just having a tiny baby boy. By my measurements my doc was guessing he would only be around 3-4 lbs... well, as of last Thursday, the 18th, we were super excited to see that he was weighing in at around 5 lbs!! Bigger than expected, but still a little small. So COLBY is making sure I am ALWAYS eating, to the point where I need to barf so that the baby can put on at least 1/2 a pound a week! It was so fun to see his little face and body in the ultrasound. I think he looks just like his daddy. He has more of a pointy noise and big lips! And he ALWAYS has his hand up by his eye in every ultrasound, which is funny because thats how Colby sleeps. He always has his hand resting on his forehead. haha It will be fun to see what he really looks like in just a few weeks. Other than him being a little small, I was tested positive for Group B Strep & my fluid is low. I was nervous at first to hear that I have GPS, but have talked to quite a few people and realized how common it is. Its just crazy how much I have turned into a little worry wart when it comes to my baby. We just want a happy, healthy baby! Is that too much to ask for? Anyway, I have another appointment on Wednesday. So if there are any other updates I'll blog about it!! Here are a few pics of the belly...
