Isn’t this the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? Okay, maybe not you but it sure is to me! They’re giving me the same look. It starts already!

It’s amazing to see the similarities in Duncan and Jamie. You can definitely tell that kid comes from his Dad because of one thing: his ears. They have pretty much the same ears!

I noticed it when I took this picture of them looking out the window. Try to withstand the adorableness for a minute and just look at the ears! Who am I kidding? The ears are adorable too.

Let me take my mommy goggles off for a minute.

They are so similar it’s hilarious. They even have the same hairstyle, although Duncan has nothing to do with his bald head!

We’re definitely getting into the home stretch, the very near home stretch of the pregnancy. Today marks 39 weeks and with only a week until our due date it’s down to the wire!

Our doctor doesn’t like people to go over 41 weeks so if this guy doesn’t come on his own soon we’ll be getting induced. Am I happy about that? Hell no. I would definitely rather him come on his own because then it’ll give me more of a fighting chance to do it without an epidural. At the last appointment it showed I was only a centimeter dilated but my cervix was right there as he put it.  However, I do know that makes no difference whatsoever!

We did almost all the final cleaning in the room and tomorrow we’ll be doing the last load of laundry of his like the sheet and such to get it all clean and ready for this little guy to come and use it.

Jamie is getting super impatient waiting for Duncan to come. He asks about four or five times a day when I’m going to give him his kid! I’d love to! He’s going to come out when he’s good and ready though, or when they make him!

I do have to say though that I have had a fantastic pregnancy. It really couldn’t have gone better so far. The only real thing that was a problem was my blood pressure, however, it could have been high before. Since I didn’t go to the doctors before we’ll never know! Everything else has gone great. I’m afraid the labor will be horrible because everything in the pregnancy has gone so well.

I would like it to hurry up and come and we can meet him and come home so then the waiting is over and we can start being a little family! Which is freaking insane to think!

I started my “self made” maternity leave today. I’ll probably end up working though until he’s born after I get the major things done. There just isn’t much to do when I’m not working! I guess that’s something that sucks about working from home.

Have to clean off the bed and jump in the shower though. Maybe I’ll do some relaxing after that!

So for Jamie and my birthday which was July 15th and 17th respectively, we had a joint cake. I had asked for a fancy cake but Mom and Shaina went all out and made a four tier cake with fondant!

This photo does not do the cake justice as it doesn’t even show the top. Bad photography on my husbands half. That’s why I don’t like having him pick the better pictures!

This was my moms first time working with fondant and also doing a million tiers on a cake like this. For the first time doing it I think it’s fantastic!

Actually, it was a pretty awesome cake in my opinion. I helped a little with rolling it out and you have to blame me for the placement of the covering because I’ve never worked with different shaped layers like this one was. So it was a learning experience all around.

They did a fantastic job on the cake and it was even delicious. 5 stars!

Last Wednesday was Jamie and Nick’s karate promotion. They were going to go for their orange belts and it’s usually a lot of hard work on their parts.

A lot of hard work for my butt too since I have to sit for two hours on a metal chair. Not butt friendly!

However, after all the sweating, drilling, and taking breaks they actually did pretty well. Well enough to advance and become orange belts now!

I was more impressed with the older people in the class that advanced to their yellow belts. Their ages ranged from 50-65 I think it was. They were doing really good and kicking butt!

Jamie’s trying to get me to go to karate too but it’s just not for me. I would probably need to drink a lot of Nespresso to get up enough energy to be able to keep up with all of them.

However, this is exciting as this is the second advancement that they have gone through. Next belt is blue!
