35ish weeks (and no make-up)

I have not gained as much with the others this far, but I started heavier (due to muscle - thank you BodyPump:) - but smaller clothes).  I am hoping it's because I have been able to exercise throughout, I've eaten well and have gotten 8+ hours a night of sleep.  But, whatever, it is what it is.  Besides the new spider veins (which are getting zapped ASAP), I really cannot complain.  It's been much easier being pregnant with older kids instead of chasing toddlers around the house.  It will be quite different this time.  When Spencer was born, I had 3 kids under 3...yikes!  Whenever we watch little kids, Kylie and Ashlyn are so eager to help; we are hoping that carries on.  I am still teaching 9+ classes a week.  Some classes I am taking more low impact options and I have decreased my squat/lunge weight in BodyPump.  I plan on teaching all the classes through June and then backing off of at least Attack in July.  Besides wanting to rest, I want to spend some time with my kiddos doing extra fun stuff before the baby arrives.  I feel like this has gone by fast, but I am kind of impatient and have been counting down days/months.  It seems like time as flown as I look in the past, but not in the future.  For example, my last regular posting was 5 weeks ago which seems like not too long in the past, but in 5 weeks from now, I hopefully will be holding a sweet, healthy baby boy and it seems like an eternity.  We don't' have a name picked out, no car seat nor bassinet.  I just started thinking about the actual labor especially since I will be delivering in the hospital this time.  No epidural was hard in the birthing center, but even if I decide to have an epidural in the hospital, I think it will be more difficult.  I don't like silly rules and mean nurses.  Hoping and praying the experience will be positive.
