37 WEEKS!

Well I am officially full term -- hallelujah!! I honestly felt like I was going to be pregnant forever. I still kind of feel that way to be honest. I haven't been showing any signs of labor, although when I went to my doctors appointment last week I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced.  That was shocking to me since I have felt no contractions and no cramping. The nurse told me that was so great for this being my first pregnancy -- apparently first time pregnancies progress slower? Anyways, she also said that she didn't expect me to make it to my due date! I could hear angels singing when she said that... I am SO ready :) (watch though--I'll go 10 days past my due date haha)

They certainly weren't lying when they said that the last month of pregnancy is the worst. I don't walk, I waddle. I get dizzy and nauseous all the time. I have to get up and go potty every hour. EVERY HOUR. I wonder what its like to sleep through the whole night without getting up.. For my next baby can someone remind me to enjoy weeks 16-28 more? Thanks.

I have been trying to keep myself busy during the day.  Gus's room is almost done! He has a travel themed nursery and I love it! It just needs a few more things to make it complete! I have also been busy decorating the rest of our house. I wanted so desperately to have the house perfect before he arrived, but that is just too big of a task to accomplish. Rusty did such a good job getting the big stuff done before Gus arrived so I really just need to relax and enjoy our bare walls ;)

A few weeks ago, Russ and I got maternity photos done and I am in love with them. I was so worried about how they were going to turn out but they turned out great! I'll post some of my favs down below.

How Far: 37 weeks.

Baby is the Size of: A bunch of Swiss chard? Haha wow -- can someone tell me what Swiss chard is?

Maternity Clothes: This question is laughable at this point. Do you really think I can fit into my size 4 non maternity jeans?

Sleep: What is sleep?

Movement: He moves WAY more then I thought he would at this point. I thought the kid would run out of room to move so much!

Best/Worst Moment of the Week: Best-- going to the doc on Friday and progressing to a 3. Keep opening up cervix, you can do it!

Miss Anything:  Rusty is going and getting me Subway right after I deliver. I was a good girl and ate zero lunch meat during my pregnancy. For those of you wondering, apparently cold lunch meat can contain harmful bacteria so they recommed you avoid it. So obviously I'm super excited for Gus to get here, but I'm also super pumped for a turkey sandwich.

Food Cravings:  I was on a McDonalds kick for a while. I usually turn my nose up at McDonalds but its just been hitting the spot recently lol

Anything make you Queasy: I've been feeling a little queasy, but they say that's normal at this point.

Weight Gain: Remember when I said it was coming? Well, it came. It's all good in the hood though. My doctor is happy with where I am. I have currently gained 23 pounds since I became pregnant. They say for women in good health, 25-35 pounds is ideal. I'll probably end up right in there!

Stretch Marks: Haven't seen one yet.

Happy or Moody: Depends. I get happy whenever I see a box from Amazon at our door ;) Amazon Prime is my BFF.

Symptoms: I really don't want to bore you. I have a lot of symptoms haha

Looking Forward to: Subway...

and Gus of course.
