38 Weeks!

How far along: 38 weeks

Gender: Girl!

Weight gain: 36 lbs. 

Maternity clothes: All maternity clothes and some large t-shirts. Both seem to be getting a little snug.

Stretch marks: Unfortunately.

Belly button in or out: The top part of it is starting to stick out

Sleep: OK, I wake up about every 2 hours to use the restroom. It will be nice to have control of my bladder again soon.

Best moment this week: We got to see our little girl on the ultrasound again this week. We were in a minor accident on Wednesday and I knew right away I needed to go to the hospital just to make sure baby was ok since we got hit on my side. I was monitored for 5 hours at the hospital and the next day was monitored at my doctor's office and had an ultrasound done. Everything looked great so no need for worry! Dr. said she was in the safest spot possible being surrounded by all the amniotic fluid. I had a headache for 2 days but feel great now and Tim is doing great too. So even though we had that little scare it was great knowing our baby girl is doing perfectly fine :)

Miss anything: Being able to move around! It's hard to get up off the couch these days!

Movement: Lots of movement! She was moving like crazy during the sonogram. It is so weird when she moves because my stomach shifts around. It's a little freaky!

Cravings: Milk, blueberry bagels with strawberry cream cheese, nachos and pineapple!

Looking forward to: Meeting our precious baby girl!!! This week I was dilated 3 cm and 75% effaced. My doctor is out of town now for the next week so hopefully our little girl will wait until she gets back before making her grand entrance!

Weight gain: 36 lbs. 

Maternity clothes: All maternity clothes and some large t-shirts. Both seem to be getting a little snug.

Stretch marks: Unfortunately.

Belly button in or out: Flush with my stomach. 

Sleep: OK, it would be nice to not have to wake up in the middle of the night. I have been really tired the last couple of days. I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment.

Best moment this week: We got to see our little girl on the ultrasound today! We went in a little scared since my doctor had said I was measuring a week small but everything looked great! We could see her practicing breathing and I teared up when we saw her little face. She was moving her little mouth and has some adorable chubby cheeks!!!!

Miss anything: Being able to look down and see my toes! Ready for this tummy to be gone!

Movement: Lots of movement! She was moving like crazy during the sonogram. Also so cute when she gets her little hiccups.

Cravings: All things sweet!  Cereal, milk, blueberry bagels with strawberry cream cheese, nachos and pineapple! We ran out of milk and ice cream so we are going to have to make a run to the store!

Looking forward to: Meeting our precious baby girl!!! Last week at my appointment I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Today I was 2, almost 3 cm dilated and 75% effaced! Baby girl will be here before we know it!

My dad's side of the family has some bets going on Baby Ryan's due date, weight, height, if she will have hair, and if so will it be dark or light and straight or curly. I would love to hear everyone's predictions! You can comment below!!!!

35 Weeks!!!!!

How far along: 35 weeks

Gender: Girl!

Weight gain: 33 + lbs. 

Maternity clothes: All maternity clothes and some large t-shirts

Stretch marks: Unfortunately.

Belly button in or out: Flush with my stomach. 

Sleep: OK, it would be nice to not have to wake up in the middle of the night. The last couple days I have been wide awake at 5 AM. I wish I could sleep in.

Best moment this week: Going to the pool! I'm hoping to be able to go every day during the week this month. Get as much sunshine as I can before baby girl gets here.

Miss anything: A yummy margarita would be perfect with this weather! I was able to find a mix without alcohol that was delicious but it would be nice to have some tequila in there ;)

Movement: Lots of movement! She had a huge role over the other day which made her pop out of my stomach pretty far! Freaky baby!!! One of my friends asked if it hurts when she moves. The answer is no, however it has become more uncomfortable as she moves around since she is running out of room in there.

Cravings: All things sweet!  Cereal, milk, blueberry bagels with strawberry cream cheese, nachos and pineapple! Today I am having a huge craving for chips (not potato) and caffeine free coke. I'm hoping Tim will pick some up on his way home from his meeting!

Looking forward to: My last day of work on Friday! Two more days!!!! 

Tim leaves Friday for the Ozarks. I'll be doing a lot of baby stuff this next week to occupy my time. We finally have all the furniture we need in the nursery so now I can place it where I want it and start putting up the alphabet letters and picture frames on the wall. I'll also be getting our hospital bags packed so we can be ready for the big day instead of running around like chickens with our heads cut off when I go into labor. We are getting close! Hopefully 5 weeks left and fingers crossed I don't go into labor next week while Time is out of town!!!!
