37 Weeks!!

<~~At my work "sprinkle" just shy of 37 weeks
<~~shower Sarah & Kacie threw for us...whoah belly!


How far along: 37 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Up 19 pounds total

Maternity clothes: yep! However, I've been living in Jeff's t-shirts and stretchy pants all Spring Break & it's been lovely

Stretch marks: same ones, but they are red at times so I guess they are stretching even more

Sleep: I wish! I have been awake by 5 am this entire Spring Break with so much on my mind and I can't get comfortable

Best moment this week: Having our "sprinkles" and getting the nursery done. Well, for the most part. It still needs some "pretties" for the wall, but it's ready for a baby!

Movement: It never ends! I mentioned last week that Dr. L made a comment about how active she was.....weeeellll, I had to see a different doctor for my appt this week and he even made a comment about her movement. "She's very active, isn't she?" were his exact words. This was never said about Sophia, lol, guess we're in for a laid back kiddo and a hyper one! She still loves to roll across my tummy and jam herself up into my right ribs.

Food cravings: milk, milk, milk Food actually hasn't sounded good lately. I'm having food aversions again and am having to force myself to eat...mainly apples, milk & brownies =)

Gender: GIRL!!

Labor signs: None so far really

Belly button in or out: Still in, but not near as deep as it once was

What I miss: being able to enjoy being pregnant like I did with Sophia. Things are so different when you are chasing a toddler around!

What I am looking forward to: Getting all of the finishing touches put on the nursery and getting the house cleaned to my liking for company that may want to stop by after Miss Olivia makes her arrival

Weekly wisdom: Don't wait until the last 2 weeks to get everything done! Oops!

Milestone: I have 1 more dr. visit before my scheduled c/s!

36 Weeks

Holy cow, I'm having another baby in 3 short weeks! We have a c/s scheduled for April 2, so Olivia will be here in no later than 3 weeks! We are so excited!


<~~32 weeks on our "babymoon" in Tulsa...when the weight gain began! ;)

<~~34 weeks...making progress in the nursery!

<~~36 weeks 2 days...don't mind the nastiness that is myself...I was already in my "comfies" and realized we haven't done a picture in awhile. =)


How far along: 36 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Interesting story: At my last appointment I had gained 5 pounds between 32-34 weeks which brought my total to 20 pounds. Yes, that's right, 1/4 of my weight was gained in a 2 week time period. Dr. wasn't very concerned since I'm only up 20 pounds, but I promised to do better. SO, this week I was expecting the normal 2 pounds for the 2 weeks, BUT I had actually LOST 2 pounds! What the what?! So, I'm up a total of 18 pounds. We'll see what next week brings!

Maternity clothes: most definitely

Stretch marks: Thankfully they are beginning to fade again and I haven't noticed any new or red ones. Please please please let this be the case the remainder of the pregnancy!

Sleep: Oh how I miss sleep! I wake up anywhere from 4-6 times a night to use the restroom then take at least 20 minutes to fall back asleep. So, do the math: that's about 1.5-2 hours I'm not sleeping each night. Plus I'm super sore when I wake up.

Best moment this week: Sophia came up to me the other day, lifted up my shirt, waved at my belly and said "Hi Libby!" then gave her fives, knuckles, kisses, and hugs. I don't think she really gets what's going on, but it's sweet none the less!

Movement: As Dr. L said today "she's quite an active baby!" Uhm, yeah! She's always rockin' 'n rollin'

Food cravings: peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, snickers, COLD milk by the gallons

Gender: GIRL!!

Labor signs: She's beginning to drop down...a lot. My ribs are no longer on fire, but my lower abdomen is now feeling the pain!

Belly button in or out: I'll never be an outie, but my belly button is actually getting a little "flatter" this time around

What I miss: restful sleep and an adult beverage every now and then...but I don't miss them that badly! I LOVE being pregnant

What I am looking forward to: My showers this week. My work friends are throwing me a "sprinkle" Thursday and my sis & sis-n-law are doing one Saturday. Then we will be going on a shopping spree this weekend to get the nursery finished up. Can't wait!

Weekly wisdom: Nap when you can because I highly doubt I'll get to nap much with 2 under 2!

Milestone: I'm now into the weekly doctor visits. Two more visits then it's check in at the hospital to meet miss Livvy!
