Thirty Eight Weeks


  • How far along?: 38 weeks! (posting this a week late though!)
  • Baby is the size of a: I would guess about 6lbs?
  • The Bump: We are at max capacity here, people.
  • Symptoms: Contractions, exhausted
  • Food Cravings: Orange Juice and Donuts
  • Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nope!
  • Sleep: I'm trying to get good sleep, but I'm peeing about every hour on the hour, plus my hips are so sore, it's been difficult getting comfortable
  • What I miss: Talking without panting for breath
  • Weddings Rings On or Off: On, but will probably come off soon, thanks to the heat!
  • Any Names Picked Out Yet: I think so? But we'll wait to finalize when baby's here!
  • Movement: Baby's still pretty active
  • Maternity Clothes: You can usually see a bit of my belly peeking out of my shirt, and I only have about 1 or 2 pairs of shorts that fit. Enter: Brett's t shirts and shorts. Thankful to have such a burly, handsome husband!
  • Labor Signs: Nothing really, just contractions and lots of pressure, but not dilated or effaced.
  • Best Moment of the Week: Levi started saying "mama" (again after a year hiatus) so that's pretty much the cutest thing ever
  • What I’m excited about/looking forward to: I wanna meet this baby :)

    Thirty Five Weeks


  • How far along?: 35 weeks!
  • Baby is the size of a: I don't know fruit, but baby's likely about 18 inches long and shy of 5 1/2 lbs!
  • The Bump: Every week I'm convinced it won't get any bigger, and every week I'm astounded that it really did!
  • Symptoms: Acid reflux and crampy. Trying not to count down the weeks or days, but I'm certainly getting anxious and uncomfortable.
  • Food Cravings: Nothing really..WHAT? is that the first time I've said that in 8 months?!?!
  • Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nope!
  • Sleep: Decent sleep, interrupted by pee breaks and the need to roll over and get situated...again and again and again and...
  • What I miss: I'm just ready to be comfortable again. That said, this pregnancy really has flown by, so it's not like I have much to complain about! 
  • Weddings Rings On or Off: On
  • Any Names Picked Out Yet: They're on the table...we will discuss it again when baby is here :)
  • Movement: Baby's still pretty active
  • Maternity Clothes: My belly hangs out of them :(
  • Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks, baby is still head down, I don't expect much more for at least 5 weeks, if not more!
  • Best Moment of the Week: Brett, Levi, and I swimming with my parents. Levi's loving the pool and becoming more and more brave! 
  • What I’m excited about/looking forward to: The 4th of July this weekend! It will mark the "Officially One Month Til I'm Due" date, we are planning on spending time with friends and family outside playing cards and grilling out, and my husband always turns into Mr. Stars and Stripes and acts ridiculous all day long. Yum, I love that man. I'm hoping Levi gets to see some fireworks and enjoy some sparklers for the first time :)
