38 Weeks!

Only a few more days left! I feel like I might be holding my baby very soon! I'm feeling great and am surprisingly still pretty comfortable but something tells me I will be meeting my little man very soon! I had a doctors appointment the other day and the doctor didn't seem to think it was much longer either. At any rate I am so happy and excited! Oh how life is going to change!



How far along? 38 Weeks!

Total weight gain: 20 lbs

Maternity clothes: Just wearing things that are comfy and cool at this point. I haven't bought any maternity clothes in a while so buying things that will work now and later too!

Stretch marks? Not a one! Hopefully I'll get away with out getting any!

Best moment this week? My doctor saying she thinks LB will be making his debut very soon!

Miss anything? Same as last week... flat tummy, working out, a glass of fabulous chardonnay or champagne and shopping for cute clothes in my normal size!

Movement: Still moving around! His little foot is FINALLY out of my ribs! So excited about that!

Food cravings? Still lots of fruit! I think I over did it with the cookies this last week :-/

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week.

Gender: XY!

Labor signs: Oh yes! 

Belly button in or out? Flat

Happy or Moody? Beyond elated!

Looking forward to: Holding my precious boy!

Full Term!!!

Whoa!!! We made it to 37 weeks! I can't believe I have a "full term" baby! I am so excited to meet this little guy! I am finding myself in his room a lot playing with his clothes trying to figure what outfits I want to see him in first or playing with all of his cute little things! Thank goodness LB is "LB" and not "LG" or else the little girls clothing economy would have a massive surge! There are just so many cute things and I can't seem to control myself when it comes to the clothes! He might just wind up being the best dressed baby in town! ;-) I had a doctors appointment yesterday and everything went great. The doctor said it could be any day now. Although there were times where we thought he was going to come very early, I'm almost getting the feeling that he might be late?!

I couldn't resist and had to go back and get another 4D ultrasound. I am addicted to looking at his sweet face and can not believe how much he keeps changing!



How far along? 37 Weeks!

Total weight gain: 20 lbs

Maternity clothes: From here on out it is Juicy track suits or summer maxi dresses!

Stretch marks: None! :-) :-)

Best moment this week? 4D Ultrasound and knowing that everything is ready for his arrival!

Miss anything? A flat tummy, working out, a cold beer, shopping for normal size clothes and not feeling huge!

Movement: He's still managing to move quite a bit! He still has that one foot in my ribs which is not ideal :-/

Food cravings: Cookies!!! Oreo's and Famous Amos! And Push Pops!

Anything making you queasy or sick? This heart burn is crazy! The Tagamet helps but nighttime is not a good time :-(

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: A couple of random contractions and A LOT of BH!

Belly button in or out? Flat

Happy or moody? So happy!

Looking forward to: Same as last week, holding my baby!

Four(ish) more weeks to go!

The bassinet actually made it! I finally feel like I have everything I need for this little boy! Well, except the crib. I suppose I should try and make a decision on which one I want ;-). Everything else has been great! Just a few more weeks until LB gets here!

Have a fabulous Wednesday!


How far along? 36 Weeks

Total weight gain: 19 lbs

Maternity clothes: In this pic my shorts are maternity and I'm wearing an old top I got before I was pregnant :-). Since the weather has been so nice I'm wearing a lot of dresses!

Stretch marks: Still none! I'm knocking on wood!

Best moment this week: Knowing that I have everything checked off my shopping and "to-do" lists!

Miss anything? There are so many cute clothes out right now! I can't wait to go shopping once I get back down to my pre-baby weight!

Movement: He still manages to move around quite a bit. He has one of his feet planted in my ribs which is not comfortable :-(

Food cravings: Cherries!

Anything making you queasy or sick? The acid reflux/heart burn has finally got me... it is miserable in the evenings. I have found that Tagamet works best, but yikes! It's no joke!

Gender: Still XY!

Labor signs: Lots of Braxton Hicks!

Belly button in or out? Still (barely) in!

Happy or moody? Happy and getting very excited!

Looking forward to: Holding my baby!!

35 Weeks

I can't believe in 5 "ish" weeks I will be a mommy! I still haven't received LB's bassinet but was assured if it doesn't go out today, it will definitely go out tomorrow. I have everything else ready to go. I have packed my bag, LB's bag and have pretty much everything ready at home. It's becoming very real that there is going to be a baby here very soon! It has also been an exciting week on some other fronts. My precious nephew Mason started walking! He is actually 11 months old today! It has been so exciting watching him hit all of his milestones, I can only imagine how exciting it will be to watch my own baby!



How far along? 35 Weeks

Total weight gain: 18 lbs

Maternity clothes: I'm thinking it's summer maxi dresses from here on out!

Stretch marks: None!

Best moment this week: Seeing him in the weekly ultrasound!

Miss anything: Shopping for clothes in my normal size and cold adult beverages on these warm days ;-)

Movement: He's still moving but its much shorter movement than it was before. Still lots of hiccups!

Food cravings: Peaches, Strawberries, rasberries and cherries!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Ironically now that we're getting close to the end a lot of that has subsided!

Belly button in or out? Barely in!

Happy or Moody? Still happy as can be!

Looking forward to: Meeting this little boy!
