38 weeks

How far along? 38 weeks
Total weight gain:
 11.5 pounds (after initial loss of 4 pounds: 15.5 pounds)
Maternity clothes? Mainly just staying in yoga gear because it’s uncomfortable to ‘go-out’.
Stretch marks? Barely.
Sleep: Getting worse, especially when I subconsciously wake up to contractions.
Best moment this week:
My sister, Margaret, came up to visit! :D AND we got our glider in yesterday!
Miss Anything? Helping out around the house. We wanted to lay sod and pinestraw in our yard this past weekend, but no one would let me help (which I was grateful for, because I don’t know when to stop…I’m bad). I just felt guilty just watching.
Movement: This little bugger is an active one!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, just loving the fresh fruits and veggies that this heat brings!….oh, and strawberry pie.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really.
Gender: It’s a surprise!
Labor Signs: More frequent Braxton Hicks contractions and some menstrual-like cramping.
Symptoms: Typical ‘almost there’ symptoms of just being ready!
Belly Button in or out? It’s barely out.
Wedding rings on or off? Off most of the time, but I refuse to go out in public without them on. I don’t want to look like an unwedded pregnant lady! ;-)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and ready!
Looking forward to: Having the baby any day now.

    Been following your blog, since your ‘babymoon’ and I’m getting excited to see cute collages of the baby :) I’m guessing a boy… it took awhile to come to my decision.

    It’s almost time to become parents!! Congrats in advance.

    You could have had a second career as a maternity clothing model! So cute. Can’t wait to read the happy news any day now.
