37 WEEKS

How far along? 37 Weeks (we are now considered full term.. how did that happen?)

Maternity clothes?  Yep.  And I am about to out grow the maternity pants.

Sleep: Sleeping good and sleep walking to the bathroom often.

Best moment this week:  We had a great weekly appt.  The baby is still head down and pretty low.  She is weighing in at about 6 pounds and moving a ton.  Over the weekend my good friend Marta came into town and helped me so much with last min baby stuff and brought the cutest assortment of things I will need at the hospital and post baby. I had a great lunch on Saturday with my girlfriends and Jon and I are almost finished painting the day bed in the guest room.  Actually Jon has been doing all the painting, I keep promising this will be the last project before the baby comes J not sure he believes me. 

Miss Anything? Wearing my wedding rings…. They no longer want to fit.

Movement: Lots of movement

Food Cravings: Right now I want gummy bears. 

Gender: A baby Girl!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Just a lot more sensitive, any tv show to do with babies or a birth story is guaranteed to make me cry.

Looking forward to: Meeting our little girl! Getting the last details for our hospital bag so we are ready to go.  Finishing the last min projects for the nursery.  And fitting in some date nights and down time before we enter the world of no-sleep.  

36 WEEKS

How far along? 36 Weeks. 4 more weeks to go.  28 days left! 

Maternity clothes?  Couldn't live with out maternity pants but you can get away with wearing so many non-maternity clothes if you just go a size up.  

Sleep: Still sleeping good, just waking up often and flipping sides which isn't the easiest with the growing belly

Best moment this week:  Having family visit us. Going to San Diego for a  shower to celebrate Lisa and her twin boys! Getting our stroller, swing, car-seat and bassinet set up ( now if we just had a place to put it all).  

Miss Anything? Not really... people are so nice to you when you are pregnant

Movement: Moving all the time and hiccups at least twice a day

Food Cravings: Still loving fruit and it is impossible to stay away from the sweets

Gender: A baby Girl!

Labor Signs: No.

Symptoms: Pretty sure I got a swift kick to the ribs but luckily the soreness went away after a few days... funny thing is 2 days latter Jon pulled a muscel in his rib too, he has enjoyed all the pregnancy symptoms with me like it or not :).  

Looking forward to: Our weekly dr. visit this Thursday.  Having our friend in town this weekend she is going to help us pack our hospital bag...yay! and sewing some pillow cases... with my new impulse buy a sewing machine.

All set up pretty sure this is the baby's house now. 

35 WEEKS

Hope you all had a Great Easter!

How far along? 35 Weeks 

Maternity clothes?  Mostly maxi dresses, skirts and workout clothes. Trying to get away with what I have for these last few weeks

Sleep: Still sleeping good

Best moment this week:  It has been so fun to go through all the little baby clothes and get everything ready for this little baby Fast, we are not done but we are closer than we were the week before.  We had our weekly appt and all went well she is head down and happy. Celebrating Easter and having family come visit us.   

Miss Anything? Not really. I have really enjoyed the last trimester more than I thought I would

Movement: Moving all the time unless I want you to feel her move.  She must be shy :)

Food Cravings: Still loving fruit and anything sweet.

Gender: A baby Girl!

Labor Signs: No. Wonder if I will have Braxton Hicks contractions

Symptoms: Just getting so excited to me our baby girl! Can't believe she could be here in 3-7 weeks depending on if she is early or late.  If she is like her mom and dad she will be late :)

Looking forward to: Our weekly appt and getting in as many visits as we can with friends and family before this little one arrives. 

 

The Easter Bunny brought us some visitors Sunday night!

34 WEEKS

How far along? 34 Weeks 

Maternity clothes?  Getting creative with non-maternity clothes. Mostly maxi dresses, skirts and workout clothes

Sleep: Still sleeping good

Best moment this week:  Getting to see family.  Having the most amazing sisters and mom who threw a beautiful shower.  Experiencing how many people already love our little baby.  Watching the kids do an Easter egg hunt and knowing that our little girl will get to join them next year!  

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back

Movement: I look forward to her daily hiccups and squirming. 

Food Cravings: have you tried the jolly rancher jellybeans?? So yummy I am surprised I actually had any left to put in the Easter egg for the kidos.

Gender: A baby Girl!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Feeling the baby growing, pretty sure she is doing stretches in there.  Feeling so blessed to be carrying this little one.  Enjoying being pregnant I wonder if I will miss it when it is over.  Nesting…. the idea of washing and putting away all her clothing sounds amazing.

Looking forward to: Going through all the baby clothes and putting them away. Organizing the nursery.  Going to our appointment this week 

Yep!  More pregnant women. ( due dates from left to right 5/5, 5/13, 6/15, Sept & October)
