Bowling Ball, Basketball, It's all the Same

I didn't feel the need to cradle my stomach in this weeks picture, haha.  No need to "try" to show how big it really is, although now that I look at it my hands are in an awkward place, oops.  I am now 31 weeks and 3-4 days depending on how you count it and 8 weeks from yesterday, unless he/she decides to come early (not counting on it), we will be welcoming this sweet miracle into our family.  Oh how I can not wait!  I think every mother wonders from the time they get pregnant what the baby will look like, act like, etc but this is the "crunch" time for me and this is when I really start wondering what he/she will look like, act like, be like, etc.  I can not wait hold this precious little one!  I still feel great for the most part.  I have been walking my little (big) booty off and really enjoy it.  My sister walks with me a lot and we have a path at my moms house that we walked the other night that was 2.5miles and the path that we walk when we walk by my house is 2.3 miles.  I notice my legs hurting/aching now.  Not during the walks but afterwards or in the mornings but I will not give up walking!  It has really really helped with me mentally/emotionally, hehe.  I made our final shopping list the other day and already got to mark something off of it!!!!!!  Really we do not need that much stuff.  Of course we still need a crib, which hubby seems to not think is a big deal since the baby will sleep in our room at first, but this momma would rather go ahead and get it, I want to get new nipples for the bottles (not sure why I need new ones our other ones are perfectly fine but just something this momma "needs" for her baby), I bought a couple more crib sheets the other day since both babies will still be in cribs, we need a going home outfit, and the rest is just cleaning and getting Brax's baby stuff down from the attic (pack-n-play, bouncer, etc).  It's so close, but yet when I think about it, 8 weeks seems so far away.  I did count how many work days I have left and it's in the 30s!!!! That's all! WOO HOO!!!!  haha... ok enough rambling.  I will update soon with cute pictures of Brax playing in the storms aftermath (water/mud).
