38 Week Update

How far along? 38 Weeks, 4 Days! SO CLOSE!

Size: A Leek or a PUMPKIN. I believe that... I feel like I accidentally swallowed a pumpkin seed in October and its been growing since then! ;)

We had our 36 week sonogram a week and a half ago and they estimated this kiddo to be 6 lbs 11 oz! ALREADY! Our little guy is not so little... Typically the last month the baby is supposed to grow a half pound every week, so Luke is already over 7 lbs if the sonogram/dr is accurate.

Total weight gain/loss: I'm pregnant. I've put on weight...I get it. Let's not go into any more details. ;)

Maternity Clothes? Yep. I'm sorry I am an outfit repeater. There's only a few things that are comfortable and fit me!

Stretch Marks? I swear, every time I look at my belly I get more.

Sleep?  I am getting up quite frequently and when I fall back asleep, I am having some crazy dreams. The other night my dream involved going into labor and my parents had to give me a ride to the hospital (no clue where David was...) then when I got into the delivery room, there was a whole group of people sitting in there, just waiting and watching! Not the most pleasant dream! haha

Best moment this week: I am to the point where I am taking this pregnancy day by day. If I can get out of bed (aka roll/fall then limp/waddle), and get pants on, I would say that day is successful. We also got our maternity photos back! Will post soon...

Movement: Still going strong.. more painful too.

Food Cravings: I have been making smores a lot.. and experimenting with different toppings. My favorite so far has been adding my vanilla almond butter on top of my marshmallow and chocolate. So good! I've also been eating a lot of pineapple and been craving Bahama Buck's. :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Have you started to show yet: Yep.

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: More Braxton Hicks, Dr. measured me at 3 cm dilated last Friday. It could happen at any time now... I need just a few more days to get everything in order!

Belly Button in or out? I am still an Innie! Y'all don't know how happy this makes me. haha

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time? Still happy.

Looking Forward to: This kiddo just getting here! I'm ready to meet and love on him!

35 Week Update

How far along? 35 Weeks, 4 Days (31 Days Left!) Officially ONE month left, people!

Size: A Coconut...estimating between 17.2-18.7 inches and 4.2-5.8 lbs.

Total weight gain/loss: Eekks its close to 20 lbs now!

Maternity Clothes? Yes, went out and got a few more tank tops and summery clothes to get me through this last month (and then maybe a few months after that!)

Stretch Marks? Ugh, yes. I look like a freaking zebra.

Sleep?  It definitely could be much worse, I am still getting up frequently but I am able to go back to sleep pretty fast once I get comfortable. The whole getting comfortable thing is getting a little more difficult now!

Best moment this week: I was able to get some rest this weekend while David did the "Tough Mudder" race outside of Bastrop. I set up our diaper changing station in our room and I was also able to get brunch with one of my oldest friends from high school!

We didn't even plan to match!

Movement: Still moving like crazy. He REALLY likes getting up underneath my ribs and PUSHING. He has also been getting the hiccups pretty frequently too.

Food Cravings: I have been eating a lot of Popsicle lately. Especially the Outshine Coconut and Strawberry flavors. I also had a smoothie from Smoothie King earlier this week and I have been dying to get another one since then. Sadly, I looked up the amount of sugar in the one I got earlier this week (I think it was the Pineapple Surf... SO GOOD), but I will likely never get that again! Not the best option, that's for sure!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Have you started to show yet: Do I even need to continue answering this question??

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: Been getting more Braxton Hicks I think and some sharp pains in my groin area (TMI I know)... I think Luke just likes kicking nerves or something.

Belly Button in or out? Still in! :)

Wedding rings on or off? On. Since I work from home, I don't wear them unless I'm going out, but they are still fitting!

Happy or moody most of the time? Still happy. Getting more anxious about this whole labor thing.

Looking Forward to: My next doctor's appointment is tomorrow, however I wouldn't say I'm truly looking forward to it because they are going to be testing me for Strep B. Next Friday is when our next sonogram is scheduled and I am SO excited to see how this little guy looks! It has felt like an eternity since we have been able to see him on the screen.
