37.5 Weeks!

Where has the time gone?!?  I've been really bad at keeping up with my tummy photos.  It's mostly my fault since I feel like a whale.... but here we are!

How far along: 37 weeks

Size of baby:  watermelon

Total weight gain/loss:  + 27 pounds!

Maternity clothes:  DUHHHHH!  But even maternity clothes are getting too small.  Maternity dresses are way too short in front... grrr.

Stretch marks: Yes, and doubling daily.

Sleep:  Sleep has been awesome.  I just am getting up at least 3 times a night to use the bathroom, which is quite annoying.

Best moment(s) last week:  Finding out that I was 1 1/2 centimeters dilated and 70% effaced.  I know this is normal but it was reassuring to me that my body knows what to do.

Movement:  YES!  ALL the time.  He is head down so Shane and I have an idea what is moving, we can tell the difference between a hand and a foot.

Food cravings:  Sushi, fruit, sweets, ranch

Gender:  BOY!

Belly button - in or out:  Out... farther than out... its so odd looking

What I miss:  Not having a belly.  I am running into things, I can't squeeze into small spaces and I am constantly spilling on my belly ledge.

What I am looking forward to:  Due Date!!!

Milestones:  I'm officially full term.  So whenever this guy wants to make his appearance, we will LOVE it!

Farewell sweet scoot....

We sold the orange scooter :(.  The streets of SLC aren't the same as the ones in Rexburg.  Ahh, I miss the maximum speed limit being 25 mph.
Farewell sweet scooter, we loved you.

27 Weeks!

How far along: 27 weeks

Size of baby:  cucumber! 

Total weight gain/loss:  + 12 pounds!

Maternity clothes:  Yes!  I've also gotten a belly band so I can wear my pre- maternity pants un buttoned which for some reason gives me a really big boost of self esteem!

Stretch marks: Nope!  Hallelujah!

Sleep:  Lately this boy wakes up around 6:45 AM and punches my side foreverrrrrrr and then likes to do the same thing at 12:30 AM.

Best moment(s) last week:  sitting in bed for what seems like an hour and just watch my stomach smiling at it.  It's the time that I just spend with him just chillin.

Movement:  YES!  Wakes me up nice and early.  Shane can feel him all the time AND we are seeing him kick from the outside!

Food cravings:  SUBWAY.  SUSHI. GATORADE

Gender:  BOY!

Belly button - in or out:  In so far, we are on the verge of the pop though

What I miss:  Being able to take a deep breath!  He likes to sit up nice and high at certain points of the day and I can't catch my breath.

What I am looking forward to:  Third trimester!

Milestones:  Wore a pair of pre-pregnany pants this week!

Dear Subway...

Dearest Subway,
You are one of the best things to happen to me.  Your locations are numerous and since I don't toast my sub I can be in and out with my food in a matter of minutes.  I only want veggies and you think that's odd, but it's what the baby wants.
Bless you Subway.
