38 Weeks

  Its getting real, people! There are 3 car seats in our car!!

The end is close, yet sometimes feels so far away. I am now at the point in pregnancy where everyone studies my belly, and always answers my phone calls in case its time! For me, I am trying to enjoy the final weeks of baby being inside. After all, she is a lot easier to care for inside! 

How far along are you?: 38Weeks!

How big is the baby? : A Pumpkin!

Stretch marks?: Still no new ones!

Sleep: Oh, sleep! I miss you! Come back! I am up every few hours to use the bathroom, adjust pillows, or having Braxton Hicks!

Best moment this week: My boys' Christmas program

Movement: She has been quieter lately, but still pretty active. One morning I thought she was going to burst out!

Cravings:Sweets

Food aversions: No aversions :)

Labor signs: Oh goodness, night time is not fun anymore. Around 6 o'clock in the evening I start to get Braxton Hicks contractions. They are not comfortable. Baby has also dropped quite a bit which I think is contributing. I am hoping all these contractions are helping to get things moving along. This week I also had a crazy emotional day. I am not sure if it is related to my body getting ready or hormones, but I haven't been that emotional in a long time!!!

Belly button in or out: Out! 

What I miss: SLEEP!

What I'm looking forward to: Baby coming (Obviously!) I am also excited to see my brother and sister in law. They are expecting their first baby, a girl, in March!  Yay, cousins!

Jack wanted in on the action! This was before his Christmas show
