I got bored and put some edits on my lovely cell phone picture.
So this is what you get....
How far along? 37 weeks, 1 day
Sleep: Sleep changes daily. The hip and leg pain has set in. Some nights I can get comfy, some nights I toss and turn. I miss actual, restful sleep! And I know Vince does too. When he's not on shift and home with me, he worries about me getting up constantly and he's missing some well deserved rest!
Best moment this week: Reaching full term!! Baby girl can go ahead and make her arrival any time now. Last week, we had a sonogram to check her out; she's looking perfect and right on schedule! Her estimated weight is 6.5lbs (we'll see) and her full head of hair is way down and ready to go! We had another appointment this week; still progressing with the dilation. We also did our pre-registration appointment this week. Now it's just time to sit back and wait! Oh, and I made it through my last wedding of the season on Saturday! I was feeling very huge and tired but I stuck it out and got some great shots for Josh & Hannah!
Miss Anything? Sleep, Sleep, Sleep! I miss sleep. I'm starting to miss a cold adult beverage but I'm surviving! In addition, I miss ankle bones!
Movement: Yes! She kicks her momma a lot! It feels like she's in there rolling around all the time!
Food cravings: Anything I don't have to cook, and anything sweet!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...bad smells and too hot showers, but that rarely gets me going! So for now, we're just not cursing anything.
Gender: Baby Girl!
Labor Signs: Nope! Feeling more contractions but nothing regular. I guess I should be expecting them though since she is head down!
Symptoms: Heartburn, fatigue, swelling (hello giant sausage feet!), pregnancy brain, leg cramps, hot flashes (ugh!), contractions, anxiety and anxiousness awaiting her arrival
Belly Button in or out? Depending on where Baby Girl is laying; most of the time my belly button is flat. But more and more lately it's pushing it's way out.
Wedding rings on or off? It's off :( I can still get it on but I swell throughout the day making my ring incredibly snug and uncomfortable but I'm wearing another diamond band for now. I miss my big pretty ring!
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm pretty happy but I'm noticing the smallest things set me off into crazy, angry or tearful! Dang mood swings!
Looking forward to: Having normal feet back! No matter what shoes I wear at the end of the day I always look at my feet and say, 'holy sausage feet'. With that, I'm looking forward to not playing this waiting game and "any day now" bit. I'm so ready to meet our baby, but if she still needs to grow, I guess I can be patient. Of course, we're looking forward to holding our precious baby girl in our arms; things are so close!!!!
Daddy Moment: At our pre-admissions appointment they asked some questions I hadn't thought about yet and Vince swooped in and answered them based on his medical training; so glad he's been there through it all! I've got a good husband and Baby Girl will have an amazing Daddy! Every day, he continues to support me, care for me and get excited for our little girl's arrival. I can't think of one single moment that stands out because he's been awesome; even when I've been tough to be around!And I've been awful tough to be around here lately so I'm thankful he's sticking beside me and not losing total patience with me!
Oh, and here's some of my fave pics from our Maternity Session last week! Thanks again Andrea Stitt Photography!
