39 Weeks
How far along? 39 Weeks!
Whoa mama!
Total weight gain: 26.2
lbs... evidently, I lost a little weight.
Stretch marks? Tummy
is clear as can be and doctor said that since I've made it this far, she can't
imagine I'll get any, yay!
Sleep: Sleeping
well :) This is seriously the best I've felt/slept the entire
pregnancy...
Best moment this week:
Today was truly a fabulous day :) Little A is due in exactly a week, I
finally got my computer back AND Mac gave me a discount for keeping it a lot
longer than expected, my mom and I went out for a mani pedi, and hubby and I
decided to celebrate Little A's anticipated arrival by going out for Chipotle
:) YUM.
Miss Anything? Not
at all, so excited to meet Little A!
Movement: He
is super duper cramped so his movements have decreased a little.
Food cravings: Frozen
yogurt and strawberries. Poor Michael, he is seriously sick of going out
for frozen yogurt and me, I could still eat it all day, EVERY day :)
Anything making you queasy
or sick: Grapes, that's about it.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: Braxton
Hicks. And hubby and I have started trying out all the 'fun' things you
can do to throw yourself into labor. So far walking, hot sauce,
pineapple, and the 'old fashioned' way haven't done much good... I'm open to
suggestions :)
Belly Button in or

time: So incredibly happy :)

wait to meet our sweet Baby A!

point lol

to go potty at least 4 times a night.
Best moment this week:
Probably going out to dinner with my family and my Auntie Lois and Uncle
Curly; It was so good to see and catch up with them! Also had a fun
weekend with the hubs :)
Miss Anything? Not

pretty cramped, but he's moving around in what little room he has left!

day without rib pain.
Movement: Moving around
like crazy, despite the fact that there's hardly any room left for him to
wiggle! Sometimes it feels like he's trying to stretch out my stomach
with his elbows lol
Food cravings: At this point, hardly anything
sounds good; It literally hurts to eat anything of substance so I'm going
to say slushies are currently my 'food' of choice.... If only I could live off
them until Little A's arrival! :)) (<-- I gave this smiley a double chin
because this pregnancy is turning me into a fat ass haha)

35 Weeks
How far along? 35 Weeks!

lbs

still. And anything else sweet.
Anything making you queasy
or sick: Red meat and grapes. I hate grapes.

But scary to think it could happen at just about anytime now? As of
Monday we have just 1 month until the due date! Oh lordie!
Symptoms: Like
I said, my ribs have been pretty sore and I have been SUPER emotional!
Who knew you could burst into tears for literally no reason at all?
Seriously, I think I’ve cried at least once a day for the last week, thank you
hormones.
Belly Button in or
out? Definitely out
Wedding rings on or off? On,
but they were feeling pretty snug the other day… Must be the warm weather.
Happy or Moody most of the
time: Happy but also moody. Michael and I watched
Knocked Up the other night, and I was holding back tears the entire
movie. It seriously is not as funny now! And then when she went
into labor I lost it and started balling…
Looking forward to: Meeting
our little jumping bean! And I can’t wait to have everything crossed off
my to do list, it still seems like it’s a million miles long.

happy to say none! I'm sure it won't last, my doctor told me I'm more
likely to get them than not. Sleep: Depends on the night. I
toss and turn a lot because of my achy hips.
Best moment this
week: Getting Little A's nursery in order :) I hate
clutter and love looking into his crisp, clean room! Just a few more
items to purchase and the nursery will be complete.
And finding out today that
my MACalicous isn't yet dead... She still works when plugged into the wall with
an ethernet cord, whoo!

really use a Beergarita right about now... But other than that, nothing.
Movement: Do
you even have to ask? :)
Food cravings: Strawberries...
And now Caesar Salad... My mom would be so proud!

Braxton Hicks.

mobility, indigestion, achy back and ribs.

Wedding rings on or off? On...
But this nice weather is assisting with swelling and is starting to give me
sausage fingers. So we'll see if I can keep them on.
Happy or Moody most of the
time: Happy but definitely moody. When mama
ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
Looking forward to: Easter!
I know Little A isn't here yet, but I couldn't help but start putting
together a basket for him :)

Tuesday!

well last night. But most nights I wake up with hip pain.
Best moment this
week: My baby shower :) I had such an amazing time seeing
everyone and Little A got a lot of amazing things!
Miss Anything? I would
say I'm pretty content about now. I know I'll miss my bump more than I
miss anything else once Little A arrives!

hurt pretty bad so I toss and turn all night.
Best moment this week: So far,
going to the doctor today :) My glucose test came back completely normal,
I had my negative blood type shot (I forgot what it's called) and it wasn't as
bad as I thought it would be, my weight and measurements are all good and
doctor said that it feels like Little A is head down!
Miss Anything? Mobility...
my back has been so sore I haven't been able to get much done lately :/
Movement: Tons,
as usual :) Today he kicked my doctor during the appointment haha

Labor Signs: No, but
crazy to think Little A will be full term in just 6 short weeks!

little next week? :)
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the
time: Happy, but being achy towards the end of the
day is making me a bit moody.

Stretch marks? Not
so far... I was depressed all week last week because I thought I had one... but
it turned out to be a scratch from one of the dogs haha
Sleep: Been
sleeping better than I was
Best moment this week: Last
night. The weather has been absolutely amazing so we grilled on the patio

Miss Anything? Not
really ... Just so excited for baby!
Movement: Pretty
sure he'll turn out to be some sort of athlete
Food cravings: Strawberries!

or sick: Red meat, chocolate, grape flavored anything, and now peppermint
ice cream... Evidently, it's not a good idea to eat an entire pint in one

pretty good! It's a little annoying that I can't get my shoes on by
myself though.
Belly Button in or out? out

I wouldn't be surprised if that, in fact, was his first word :)
Best moment
this week: Going out for peppermint ice cream.
Hands down.
Miss
Anything? Honestly? Beer. A nice
cold Coors Light sounds absolutely delicious.

week. It's starting to feel like he's pretty cramped in there; I can't

Labor Signs:
Nope
Symptoms: Sore back, legs, ribs.
Belly Button
in or out? Out
Wedding
rings on or off? On
Happy or
Moody most of the time: Happy, but definitely moody as
well. This past weekend Michael and I decided to paint Little A's
nursery. Michael thought the color I picked was too light and offered to
go pick up some more paint samples, and me, being the rational person I am,
burst into tears and said something along the lines of, "how dare you
insult my interior decorating skills!" Needless to say, hubby was
right, and today I'm picking out a new color.
Looking
forward to: My cousins baby shower this weekend!

never had them before now) and nausea. Basically, I've been feeling like
a bag of shit.
Belly Button
in or out? Out
Wedding
rings on or off? On
Happy or
Moody most of the time: Definitely had a
few meltdowns this week. Most maternity clothes are too big and my
regular clothes are too small, so naturally I cried about it for about an
hour. And does indecisiveness count? I just changed the bedding we
registered for, for the 5th time this weekend.
Looking
forward to: 52.80 week :) Went out last night and
the night before. Also, getting our mirror sanded and painted for the nursery,
picking up our glider, and painting Little A's room.

Definitely getting furniture for Baby A’s Nursery! My mom was kind enough
to give us 2 dressers that both her and I used as kids. We spent the
weekend sanding them down and we are painting them tomorrow! Shout out to
my mom, sister and my sister’s boyfriend for helping us! Pictures to come
:)

a day without a headache or backache, and having energy… I have a list a
million miles long of everything I want to have done before Baby A arrives and

Mostly strawberries and bananas. Also, still on my Nutella kick. I
don’t remember a day where I didn’t have a Nutella sandwich at some point, yum!!

or sick: Red meat and now coffee… the thought of it
makes me want to hurl.
Gender: Boy

little! Body pillow is definitely helping with hip pain.
