The Final Countdown!

Since tomorrow marks the beginning of February, we are in the final countdown for baby boy Shaffer! I'm feeling overall pretty well, but have been feeling more uncomfortable as we get closer to the due date. I've learned that there are stages of maternity and you can only fit some of your beginning of pregnancy clothes for so long!

I wasn't sure exactly when to start maternity leave, but I decided to start this week and I'm glad I did. It's given me time to clean, get the house organized and rest before the baby arrives. Of course, I also made a trip to Target to find some extra baby clothes. I think we are as ready as we can be before our son arrives, so now its just the waiting game to see when he comes.

I've been having weekly doctor appointments, but this week I have two since its so close to the due date. I went in on Tuesday morning and was hooked up to the fetal monitor. The baby is still very active, which is a great sign, and my blood pressure looks good as well. I've gained a little more weight than what the ideal range is, but the doctor said I have had the perfect pregnancy so I'm focusing on that :)

My next appointment is tomorrow morning, where they will check the baby's movements and my contractions again with the monitor. Labor could really happen at any moment now, so Adam and I are on pins and needles (along with our family and friends)!

Here are some recent baby bump pics:
