36 Weeks | Size of a Crenshaw Melon

This is why bebe's are only allowed to occupy the womb for 40 weeks.  Crazy, right?!

How far along?  36 1/2 weeks

Maternity clothes? Oh yes.  

Stretch marks? No.

Sleep: Is rare, but I think my body is prepping me for what's to come.  I'm okay with that. :-)

Best moment this week: Ending February!  Man, it feels great for the countdown to be under 30 days!!

Miss Anything?  ^ Sleeping like a normal human, working out, wearing regular clothes, eating 'banned' foods, wine, being able to stay up late.... Umm, I'm suddenly missing a lot.  Guess that's what happens when you have 23 days left??

Movement:  Reference above video.

Food cravings:  Not much of anything.  I don't have much of an appetite, really.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just his movements, actually.  He is SO big and I love the feeling and know I'm going to soon miss it horribly.... but he really is a strong and big little bugger! (Ouch!)

Gender: Teensy King!

Labor Signs:  Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions.  I think I'm starting to get 'the waddle' too.... 

Symptoms: Lack of sleep and appetite.  Oh, and lack of ability to pay attention - HolyBaby (on the brain!)

Belly Button in or out?  Out. Full blown out.  My family/friends like to touch it when I laugh.  It is funny, I admit.

Wedding rings on or off?  Off.  At the 30 day countdown, I suddenly couldn't wear my rings.  #SadDay I am wearing the most beautiful ring in its place, though!  I get the honor of wearing Aaron's Grandmother's ring and it is absolutely stunning!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, anxious, excited, ready!

Looking forward to:  Meeting our sweet little boy.  I just can't wait - seriously.

Nursery | Pre-Completion Photo Tour

Here is the nursery thus far.  We still have pictures to hang, necessities to add (i.e. changing table pad, hamper, diaper pail, etc.), and a few other touches of love... but it's enough to give you an idea!

Special thanks to: 

Nana for the awesome giraffe & stroller!

Aunt Jamie for the homemade rugby curtains!

My amazing Husband for putting together the furniture and rocking some major patience w/ my nesting obsession!!

Ikea Crib & Changing Table.  Target Glider.  American Furniture Warehouse Dresser.

32 Weeks | Size of a Large Jicama

Sans make-up.  Ever have one of those days you just don't feel like getting ready after a shower?

How far along?  32 weeks

Maternity clothes? Yes.  The only thing I can wear that is non-maternity?  Bra & panties!

Stretch marks? None.  Praise Jesus!

Sleep: I need about 8 hours to be satisfied but those hours come so scattered that I have to get a grandma-of-a head start just to accumulate that many per night!  I'm looking forward to my belly sleep again.

Best moment this week: Showing off our sweetest little Prince via 3D/4D ultrasound.  He's so handsome & totally responsive to us already!!

Miss Anything?  ^ Just belly sleep!

Movement:  Constantly!  I already miss that movement in my daydreams of the future ;-)  It's such a blessing to always feel him and have him with me.... that won't be forever, I know.

Food cravings:  Pancakes and other various breakfast sweets.  I want donuts quite frequently but haven't caved.  As for pancakes?  Yup, at least once a week for 3+ weeks now.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Gender: Little Prince!

Labor Signs:  I had some intense contractions that were consistent for about 3 hours this past week. Doctor told me to relax and load up on H2O.  She's so smart ;-)

Symptoms: Headaches and charlie horses.  I could do without them both.

Belly Button in or out?  Out. I find myself pushing on it like a squishy little pillow. #weird

Wedding rings on or off?  On. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, anxious, excited.

Looking forward to:  Our birthing class beginning this Monday.  I think it'll be a great way for Aaron & I to do a little bonding over the things we haven't discussed too much as of yet.  We've been too caught up in the fun purchases to think about what a real birthing plan looks like!
