38 Weeks

Another week down! Excited to see whether or not we make it to November 17th on the updates!

 This week was pretty uneventful but in the best way possible. We had time to get some of those we've-put-this-off-for-months tasks done and enjoyed each other's company while it's still just the two of us. It's so difficult to believe that any day now, Baby will make three! We are all taking bets around here of when he's gonna make his big debut....any guesses? :)

 

 

To our Baby Boy:

You are getting to be such a big boy! Last night, I was laying on my side and your Daddy couldn't believe how BIG and "alien like" your movements were; it was crazy! Your hiccups now shake my entire belly, too. You really love fruit these days, especially pineapple and grapes; it's a new craving for Mommy but I'm giving you plenty of that good stuff (along with a few french fries). We are beyond anxious to meet your sweet self and are ready whenever you are :). We love you, Tiny.

  

How Far Along: 38 weeks, 1 day

Baby Size: 20 inches, 7ish lbs.

Total Weight Gain: 22-23 lbs.

Maternity Clothes? Ohhh yes. Some of my maternity shirts are even becoming "belly tees"!

Stretch Marks? No new ones to report

Sleep: Ohhhhh sleep. What happened to our lovely relationship? This past week has been pretty rough in the sleep department; I struggle to fall asleep and then wake up every hour-ish to tinkle. It wouldn't be such a big deal except that I'm at the point where it's really hard to get up/lay back down. I'm also up earlier than usual these days because there are constantly little feet in my ribs. Maybe God is preparing me for the months of sleepless nights ahead.

Best moment this week: There were lots of good "little moments", but I've really enjoyed getting to spend the weekend with Zach getting things marked off our To Do List and eating some delicious food.

Miss Anything? Drinking cokes without guilt

Movement: TONS this week. Even more than normal. Zach says he's wigging down in preparation...let's hope so!

Food Cravings: Pineapple....like, crazily craving pineapple. There have been several nights the last two weeks where I woke up at 3am and raided the fridge for some Dole pineapple chunks. Yum! So funny that I didn't crave fruit all summer and now that it's November, that's what Baby wants.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Not yet...

Belly button in or out? Still volcano-ish

Wedding rings on or off? On & loose

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy/excited/anxious

Looking forward to: Meeting Tiny!
