38.5 weeks

Hey friends and family! Hope you are all staying out of this crazy heat. I would have never thought that Arizona would have a more comfortable summer than Michigan..weird! Brandon and I spent our fourth of July inside playing games with friends because it rained here all day. It was the first time we have had rain since December. It was definitely a nice change. Brandon played some basketball in the pool with his friends and then later we went and watched the fireworks and grilled out. It was a nice and relaxing day.


I had a doctor appointment last week and found out I'm dilated 2cm and 50% thinned out. This does not mean I am going into labor anytime soon but it does mean I'll have less work to do once labor 
rolls around! Last night was 
pretty rough for me. I woke up around 3a.m. with really really bad back pains. I've gone through kidney stones and 2 bad disks so I was trying to figure out whether it was contractions, my disk, possibly a stone, or just the baby putting pressure on me. I ended up taking two baths this morning and felt strong aches until about noon today. I feel like he is getting ready to make his debut soon because my body feels so different the past few days! I even noticed my appetite has changed. I was shocked to see I lost 5 lbs this week too...something strange is going on! Hopefully I can get some rest tonight :(


Not working or having class has made me go a little stir crazy already this week! It was funny trying to study for my real estate exam today because the baby kept kicking my test booklet so much that I was having trouble focusing! haha..I'm sure it'll be even harder to focus once he's actually out. I am getting sooooo excited for him to come out. It's weird how last week I was happy with him coming on his due date and now I want him out asap!


Brandon and I are officially finished with his room! And as you may have noticed we have stuck with the name Mason Dale Severinsen! I love it so much and think the name is going to fit him perfectly. Here is the final room pictures! Hopefully my next pictures will be of baby Sev! Have a great week and cross your fingers for me that he comes soon...I can't sleep or focus these days!

Come out baby Mason we can't wait to meet you!!

Good will find before....

Good will find after! I love spray paint :) Makes everything pretty again!

Some pool fun in the desert :)
