Today is 38 weeks! YEE HAW!
Tuesday was our appt with Dr. Thatcher. She said everything is great, Gracie has a strong heart beat & just needs to move down a little further. She explained that this could happen very quickly or in a few days or weeks. Our next appt is Tuesday 6/29 where they'll make a decision about inducing me, based on how big she is on the ultrasound. We're still hoping that she'll arrive on her own though.
Tomorrow is my last day of work. I'm both excited & sad. I realized that I've had a job since I was 12 years old, even if it was just a summer job for a few years until I was 16. I'm going to miss the everyday challenges of business and the overall addiction to chaos, but I'm VERY excited to learn how to be a mom and spend time with Gracie for a few months.
This weekend, it's time to rest & relax by the pool. I'm sure I'll be wondering what I'm supposed to do with myself on Monday...

37 weeks 3 days
Well, time is really flying by now. So many people have said that the last 4 weeks go very slow, but I don't think that's the case. Maybe it's because I'm still working full time or we were a bit behind schedule due to the move getting things ready...It's a little alarming though seeing the floating baby widget say 18 days!
Overall, I'm still feeling really good. Not sleeping as much and have to pee every 30 seconds. Swollen feet. But all & all, I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy. At the end of the day, all we need is a healthy baby girl!
Yesterday, a good friend Kelly Jeck, came over & took some amazing photos. She's breaking into maternity photography, but I think she's already a pro. There are a few photos below, but you can see them all at www.kellyjeck.com/lamason
We are so thankful that Jim with MacBeth Photography and Kelly were willing to document this amazing process for us!
We've spent the last week working, cleaning and the normal stuff. Today, I make turkey chili so we'd have something to eat once we're home from the hospital - it's a new recipe so we'll see how that goes. I also baked Hilary's Cinnamon Banana Apple Muffins, I renamed them Hil :) and can't wait for them to cool down. You can get the recipe at www.hilarywyatt.wordpress.com.
Hilary is so amazing & set up a Take Them A Meal so our friends can sign up to help us with dinners once we get home from the hospital. So thankful for this! I think cooking will be the last thing I want to worry about once we're getting settled.
The best news of the week is that Grammy has decided to fly!!! We are so excited about her making the trip with my mom. I'm very happy that she'll get to meet Gracie right away.
Well, have a good week! I'm off to try out these muffins! Next appt is Tuesday and I'll let you know how things are going then.
Thanks for reading!

Big Baby Lammy
It's official, Gracyn is going to be a big baby - or so the doctor and sonogram technician say. We had a sonogram this morning & they said she is 6lbs 10 oz right now at 35 weeks 5 days. Overall, they said it's pretty accurate but could be a pound off either way. That's fine by me if she's a pound less!
As far as the due date goes, it's still July 8 but we're to be prepared & ready to go to the hospital at any time. I am 50% effaced but don't have any contractions yet. We packed the diaper bag & hospital bag (mostly) over the weekend. I even installed the car seat in my car! I'm not guaranteeing it's in there correctly, but luckily, the hospital will check it for us before we're allowed to leave.
I'm hoping she can hold out until after June 20 so we have just a little more time! And, definitely don't want her to be born on our anniversary or birthdays as I already have to share with so many people!

It's a big birthday for Jared this year. The big 3-0. He's not taking it very well, so we'll pretend he's 29 again :) I wish I was in a better condition to take him out or throw a big party for him but I can barely make it through the work day & typically have my pajamas on by 7pm anymore. Not a whole lot of fun!
The only thing we have to do this weekend is volunteer at the buff & puff where we help wash the senior bassets & beagles. Jared will be doing the work, I'll be petting the dogs! Other than that, I plan on going to the pool & relaxing! I think that we have earned it for our birthday weekend since we're not young bucks anymore!
Have a great week everyone & thanks for reading!
