Baby Update 36 weeks

Well I'm 36 weeks today and I'm way overdue for an update (as usual). I'm not going to sugar cote this...pregnancy is harder than I thought. Kudos to all you moms who have gone before me and continue to have lots and lots of kids. I have considered myself blessed to not have it as hard as some who have shared their stories...but I'm not going to lie my body is tired. :-)
I had my doctors appointment on Tuesday and it was wonderful to get an update. I got to have an ultra sound and it was AMAZING to see my little man again. I was overwhelmed by the goodness of God that he would bless me to carry this precious life. I had been stressing over the last few weeks about when he was going to arrive...and where we would be living and if I was going to work after he arrive...and how we could afford having a child...and then suddenly I just didn't care! Seeing his chubby little cheeks and watching this little miracle move around inside me just put things into perspective. God is so good to me! I can't believe how much I love this little boy already. We are still praying and trusting God for direction on all things in regards to our house, and my job and everything...I'm just happy that Sawyer is healthy. God knows when he is going to grace us with his presence. So please be praying for us in these next few days and weeks.
Other baby news: Sawyer is weighing in at 7.1 lbs!!! Yes I still have 4 weeks to go. He's a big boy. Please be praying for us, the doctors are keeping an eye on the situation but they don't think I'm going to make it to my due date. I haven't progressed any yet but at my next Dr. appointment they may talk about inducing me. We shall see..... He's also got a TON of hair. I could see it sticking straight up on the ultrasound. Hair like his dad's already...straight and thick. Now we just have to wait and see what color it is. We have changed our mind on the name too...we are not set on Sawyer Caleb. It's for sure Sawyer but we are between middle names....Drew or Edward. Drew is Ty's middle name and Edward is Tyson's father's middle name. At this point I just want to wait until he is born to decide. But feel free to put in your vote. :-)
That's all O have time for now. I have LOTS more to update you on and LOTS of pictures but this is all I can do at the moment.
I pray you are all well! Blessings!!!

Wow 36 weeks already! That's awesome. Don't stress about all the "what ifs". I too worried about the same things you did and it ALL WORKS OUT. God has bigger things in mind for little Sawyer! Enjoy every minute because it all goes by way too fast. :)

19 days left?! That's crazy! I'm so excited for you. I was so sad to miss your shower... I've been really worn out for the past few weeks...just couldn't get it together.
Any mommy-to-be advice?! I'm just into the 2nd trimester and May seems like FOREVER away!
I'll will be praying for you over the next few weeks... for a safe and quick delivery. Can't wait to see that precious little boy!
