I (Amanda) and baby continue to grow. I'm in my 35th week now. My mom thinks I'll go into labor early, but we're hoping baby at least waits until my baby showers or at least until I get a car seat! Everyone asks if the nursery is done. No- not yet. Hopefully, after those showers I'll be able to assess what we still need so I can get things ready.
The other question I'm often asked is how I'm feeling. The answer is pretty well for the most part, but definitely tired. I do have the shortness of breath (which Scott teases me about), heart burn, back pain, sharp pains, and trouble sleeping from time to time. Its fun feeling baby move and feeling the hard body parts pushing on my stomach. We are very excited to meet this little one! My due date is now June (Friday)13th. If I could pick it would be June 7th (my grandma's bday and then the date would be 06-07-08.) Pray for us, we still haven't come to an agreement on names. Scott just jokes and suggests names like Rasputin and Genghis.
A huge blessing has been that I am now off of work, a bit earlier than anticipated, but a child in my preschool class was exposed to 5th's disease (Human Parvo Virus B19) which can cause stillbirth and other not so good things. So we decided not to expose me and baby to that.
Here are some more belly pictures. Which is bigger? My stomach or the watermelon?

Wow, Amanda is looking ready to burst! That watermelon isn't even close! Glad to hear everything is going well with the pregnancy, thanks for posting up pics. I'm voting for a boy and you could use the name Elisa didn't let me use, Bojangles :)
