This week Brax is the size
of a WATERMELON!!! WOW!! That explains why I CAN NOT get comfy at all these
days!! Try laying around with a giant watermelon tucked under your shirt! HA!
We are exactly ONE MONTH from D-day today!!! HOLY COW!!!! We are soooooooo
excited!!!! The hubs and I were watching the news this morning as we got ready,
and as I realized it’s the 21st (one of our 3 due dates, the one our
Dr is convinced is the MOST accurate), I told him we are one month away, and
his face was priceless! LOL!! I am really starting to feel the crunch, I feel
like we still have so much to do (even though I know in reality we don’t, we
have TONS done already). I guess it’s the whole nesting/anxiety thing I kept
hearing about! LOL!! After Brax’s shower this week we should be 100% complete
and ready to go! I am planning on washing his tiny little clothes, blankets,
bedding, etc and getting it all ready to go next Monday, I also want to get our
hospital bags packed! WOW!!
This week, and the last few weeks, Brax will be gaining around an OUNCE per DAY!! WOW!! Little chubbers!!! Haha. Brax is also simulating breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, sucking on his thumb, blinking and pivoting from side to side! All practice for his BIG day! :) I can't believe we are getting SO close to having our precious baby boy here!!! :) Its all seeming SO much more real at this point!!! Within WEEKS now, not months, we will have him here!! We can not wait!!! :)
How far
along? 36 weeks (1 day)
Due Date: June 17, 21, or 22!!! Next Tuesday we have our LAST ultrasound
to see how big Brax is measuring, and I have my first “check” to see if I have
started progressing at all yet!! Hopefully we will get a better idea for the
MOST accurate due date, even though our Dr is convinced right now it’s the 21st!
LOL!
Total
weight gain/loss: ALL GAIN…
And apparently, I look like I am carrying twins… Gee, thanks A LOT checker at
the grocery store… Such an annoying man. I told my hubs I think EVERYONE needs
to take “how to talk to a pregnant woman 101” as a REQUIRED course in high
school… LOL.. I don’t think anyone that has NEVER been in this situation before
themselves knows what to say that isn’t super offensive… BTW- I am only
carrying ONE big boy, and from what I hear, I am all belly.. He has nowhere to
go but straight out..
Maternity
clothes: Yep!!! Working in a few things that
are non-maternity, but more or less we are all in maternity for the home stretch!
Sleep: Oh gosh not so good so far this week… First of all, we did a
SUPER yard renovation Saturday ALL DAY.. Like 9 hours.. So this mama was SORE..
I could barely walk, and not to mention, I got a really bad sunburn on my
shoulders, and back.. NO GOOD.. So I have been really uncomfortable for the
past 2 nights.
Best moment
this week: Hearing
Brax’s heartbeat at our appointment, hearing that we are RIGHT ON TRACK, and
that after next Tuesdays appointment, we are down to weekly visits!! Oh, also
pre-registering today for our hospital stay! AND, getting down to our FINAL
month!! Seriously, I do not feel like I have been pregnant this long! It has
gone by so quick!!! Another GREAT moment, getting our carseat checked and
inspected to make sure its installed correctly and we are good to go!! GOOD JOB
hubs!! He did it 100% correct! And last but NOT least, getting our maternity pictures taken!! YAY!! I cannot wait to see them!!!
Movement: SOOOOO very much!!! He loves to stick his little bum out!! LOL!
I can feel every single move he makes these days, and I love it!
Food
cravings: Anything cold! Water, slurpees, ice
cream, popcicles, etc…
Food
aversions: Not really
anything!! FINALLY! J
Gender: One beautiful, bouncing baby
BOY!
Labor
Signs: None!!! Hopefully next Tuesday we
hear that I have started to dilate, and thin out… I can dream right?!?!?!
Belly
Button in or out? The top is
OUT, the bottom is flat.. Haha.. Not too sure the whole thing is gonna pop! And
that’s a-okay!
What I
miss: Feeling normal for sure!!!
What I am
looking forward to: My last
baby shower this Saturday!!! YAY!! I cannot wait!!
Stretch
marks: Unfortunately…
Wedding
ring on/off: ON! For
now… Its getting a little tight.. I hope I can keep it on the whole time! As
long as my swelling stays in my legs and feet!!!
Milestones:
ONE.MONTH.LEFT!!!!!
**** Oh, and I FINALLY can get on my blog again here at work (shhhhh), but I forgot my camera cord at home.. LOL.. There will a picture post tomorrow! :)
