5 more weeks until little Ashlyn Jane arrives.
This picture was taken at 33 weeksI am starting to get a little panicky because there is so much I have to do before she gets here. Her nursery looks great so far but I still have to finish reupholstering the glider, find and hang art, and sew window treatments. Still have to do a hospital tour, find a pediatrician, pack my hospital bag, get a haircut (just a trim), finish my baby shower thank yous, and get a few more items for the baby. Whew! Nesting is kicking in.
Here are some things I am looking forward to (in no particular order):
1. Finally seeing this little girl who has been hanging out in my belly. This has been the longest 8 months of my life! Can't wait to hold her, squeeze her, give her kisses, and dress her up in all her cute new clothes. She is going to be my little sidekick.
2. Not being pregnant! Pregnancy has been one of those "endure 'till the end" things for me.
3. Fitting into my regular clothes again. It will probably take some time but just knowing that my body will be shrinking instead of expanding is pretty exciting for me.
4. Wearing my wedding ring! Oh how I miss my yellow gold ring. Mike got me another wedding band for our 2nd anniversary last April, and I wasn't able to really enjoy it because my fingers were vienna sausages by August. Can't wait to put on my bling again.
5. Being able to work out like I used to. Since I have been pregnant I have kept my workouts pretty moderate. Walking, elliptical, and pilates are pretty much all I've done for the past 8 months so it will be nice to switch it up and kick into high gear.
6. Whitening my teeth. My OB said teeth whitening is one of those better-safe-than-sorry things during pregancy, so I have obstained from doing it. Hence, my teeth are looking a less than sparkling- to put it lightly.
7. Seeing Mike as a dad. There is something so sweet and tender about a dad holding his baby girl. She is going to have him wrapped around her little finger for sure.
8. Not having to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes (or less).
9. Getting my jawline back. The pregnancy glow is in full affect in my face. Not so cute. Ha!
10. Being a mom. I have no idea what it is going to be like but I am sooooo excited for it.

haha this list made me laugh! Enjoy the rest of the pregnancy because it will be over soon!! I have totally forgot what it was like to feel pregnant.. it's really weird how that works! Love you Less!
Girl, you are excited for all the right reasons. I was definitely a gotta-endure-till-the-end-of-this-pregnancy kind of girl. Some people LOVE it, me? Not really. I am anxious for you and Mike and this next month. EEEeee!
YAY it's almost over! I can't wait to see how beautiful your baby girl will be! If you find some ideas on etsy of prints you like or something I can probably make them for you, email you a pdf file and you can go get stuff printed at like an alphgraphics or something. That's what I did for Caiden's art.. let me know! Or just tell me what the theme and colors of her nursery are and I'll form some ideas and email you some samples if you want! I'd love to do it. Just let me know.
i am so excited for you guys. this has been a long 9 months hasn't it!!!?? i'm right there with you girl. you look ADORABLE though, and pregnancy looks good on you. i know how hard it is though. it's miserable. especially these last few weeks. you are going to love this little girl more than you've ever imagined though, and it's all worth it. our babies have to be bffs like their awesome moms. :) my teeth are nasty too... plus i am swollen and i don't even look like the same person right now! anyway- we will catch up soon!!! i hope you got the birth plan thing figured out. i never did one.
girl you look great! But i'm excited for that little girl to join you and Mike. You guys will be great parents!!
Ok first off, I think I am going crazy cuz I looked at that picture and thought I was next to you. Then I thought, "When did I see her last that I took that picture?" Then I thought, "Wait, Leslie is REALLy pregnant in that picture." That is when I realized that is not me next to you. Maybe I should panic at how much I have lost my mind? Anyways I think you are adorable. I hope I am as cute as you when I am that far along. And I cannot wait to meet little Ashlyn. She is going to be a doll.
