About the baby?

Growing, growing, growing

Maternity Clothes?

I'm now confined to a rotation of very few cotton dresses.  Comfort trumps everything now that its in the high 80s-90s everyday.

Stretch Marks?

  Apparently the stretch mark fairy decided to visit in my sleep. They're very light and very low but still there. 

Not Happy.

Gender?

Snake, snails, and puppy dog tails.

Movement?  

  He is really loving to roll back and forth. He is definitely running out of room for much more.

Sleep? 

Getting better.  

Food Cravings?  

Anything sweet.  I need dessert after breakfast.

What I Miss?

Sleeping on my stomach and being able to get up out of the floor on my own.

Symptoms?

  I can pretty much count on a good 20-45 minutes of contractions every morning and night.  

Oh goodness the hot flashes. 

Best Moment This Week? 

Finishing the nursery

First trip to L&D. Barely dilated, but consistent contractions.

Scotty getting ridiculously excited about his baby boy.

Looking Forward To?

We are 2 weeks away from our due date, it seems completely unreal!

36 weeks

About the baby?

No ultrasound this week but looking at over 6.5 lbs as of now. 

Maternity Clothes?

Nah... I am perfectly content in throwing on a knit dress and being happy.

Stretch Marks?

  Still not seeing any, but they could be lurking somewhere. 

Gender?

Better be a Boy

Movement?  

  He really loves to move late at night when Scotty talks to him, or anytime Bama gets too close. 

Sleep? 

Yuck! I'm too hot to sleep.  

Food Cravings?  

Anything sweet.  I need dessert after breakfast.

What I Miss?

Freezing all the time.  I stayed cold for the first 30 weeks, normal for about 5 weeks, and now that summer, humidity, and the extra pounds have all been packed on, I am a true Hot Mess.  

Symptoms?

  I can pretty much count on a good 20-45 minutes of contractions every morning and night.  

Best Moment This Week? 

Setting a closing date for our new house!

Moving things into the new house 

FINALLY getting to put together his things.  We're still a long way from finished but everything is planned out and started.

Looking Forward To?

Moving into our new house.

About the baby?

According to our last ultrasound he's looking to be around 6 lbs already! I know the estimate can be way off but looks like a big, healthy baby as of now.

Maternity Clothes?

Nah... I am perfectly content in throwing on a knit dress and being happy.

Stretch Marks?

  Yay! Still celebrating their absence.

Gender?

Better be a Boy

Movement?  

  He still is moving like a champ, but its starting to slow down.  Now there is more rolling and less full blown kicks.  Little guy is getting cramped.

Sleep? 

  I have officially gotten to the point where I cannot possibly stay asleep all night.  Still only making one bathroom visit, but just overall restless. 

Food Cravings?  

None really, getting full too fast to think about food.

What I Miss?

Laying on my stomach I KNOW I could sleep better/ be comfortable 

Symptoms?

 Oh Braxton Hicks 

Best Moment This Week? 

Weekly appointments have started!

Looking Forward To?

Moving into our new house.
