37 weeks...full term!

Size of the baby? About 6 1/3 lbs. and 19 inches long

Belly button? Getting flatter, I'm not sure it has the ability to be out, we'll see

Sleep? My nights are interupted frequently by bathroom trips. I'm getting uncomfortable with sleeping on my side, and often find myself on my back in the morning.

Cravings? Lots of peanut butter, veggies, sweet potatoes, ice-cream, greek yogurt. I'm wanting to snack a lot and not have a lot of full meals.

Symptoms? Afternoon tiredness and braxton hicks more often

What do I miss? My summer clothes, diet coke/diet dr pepper

Best moments of the week? Making it to the 37 week milestone. Junebug is a fully developed, healthy little girl as far as we know right now. We are so blessed and very excited to meet her soon!

Marty is still working on the dresser, so I can't finish her room yet, but the details are coming together slowly but surely. All the newborn clothes are washed and in a drawer organizer. Her name is picked out and we are excited to share that with family and friends when she arrives. All her swaddle blankets and sheets are washed. Cloth diapers have arrived, I have made some cute burp cloths, bags are packed (as well as they can be), some meals have been frozen. I still feel like there is a long "to do" list left, but we are excitedly awaiting her arrival soon! We have another appointment tomorrow :)

36 weeks

Size of the baby? About 6 lbs. and 18 1/2 inches long

Belly button? Still in, but getting pretty flat

Sleep? I'm looking pretty tired in this picture because I'm having a harder time sleeping. I get up about 3-4 times a night, and wake up early not being able to go back to sleep.

Cravings? Watermelon, peanut butter, ice-cream, pretzels, sweets are more appealing now than before. I'm hungry a lot more now, yet just want lots of smaller snacks throughout the day.

What do I miss? Diet coke, my flat belly

Symptoms? Joint pain in my hips, charlie horse cramps, nesting

Best moments of the week? We had an appointment today and her heartbeat sounded great. I've also grown a lot since my last appointment. I am measuring 33/34 cm which is only a little smaller than I should be measuring right now which is about 36/37 cm. Baby girl is measuring in the 33%. I now will go to the doctor every week until she arrives. No progression yet, but head is down which is a big blessing!

Belly button? Still in

Sleep? I'm getting up 2-4 times to go to the bathroom, and am starting to get tired of sleeping on my side. I usually find my back to be the most comfortable position, eventhough I know it isn't the best postition to sleep.

Cravings? watermelon this week, yum! They are in season in Florida and we are enjoying them a lot!

Best moments of the week? My Aunt Sandi, her husband Brian and their children came to visit this weekend. It was great to see family that lives so far away! Also, we have had lots of graduation parties and picnics to attend which has been a fun start to the summer months! June is right around the corner!

34 weeks

Size of the baby? About 5lbs. the avgerage size of a cantaloupe, and 18 inches long

Belly button? Still in, but very shallow

Sleep? Some nights are fine, others I toss and turn a lot

Cravings? Water, sweet tea, peanut butter, Breyers vanilla or chocolate, ice cream, cereal...basically I'm hungry all the time but don't have a lot of space in my tummy to fit anything.
Symptoms? Braxton hicks, afternoon tiredness, and nesting is in full force. I'm feeling like there is so much to do, and no time to do it although I know I probably still have 5 more weeks. I have a lot of projects on the to do list like refinishing the dresser/changing table, sewing some burp cloths, ordering all the last needs for the baby, making a hairbow holder, find fabric for the embroidery hoops, lots of cleaning and organizing, and the list goes on.

What do I miss? Sleeping well, my summer clothes

Best moments of the week? Wow, what a great week!
-Marty graduated from seminary on Friday night. I am so proud of all his hard work!

- We reached 6 years of marriage on Sunday!

-I had my last baby shower on Sunday and was so loved by sweet friends here in Florida!

-Lastly, I had a doctor appointment on Tuesday and got to see our little girl again. During my appointment, I measured small, 31cm and should have measured 34/35 cm. Due to my size, the doctor wanted to do an ultrasound to check Junebug's growth. She is measuring right on track, and is about 5 lbs. 2oz. Her head is down low and she is growing just fine. I got to see her sweet profile again and am excited to meet her very soon.

What do I miss? Not much, loving pregnancy right now :)

Best moments of the week? Mother's day was a pretty special day to celebrate this little gift of life I've been blessed to carry for 33 weeks.

Best moments of the week? A woman from church did a maternity shoot for me on Saturday morning. I am excited to see how she captured this special time in our lives.

I think we have decided on a name, which is also fun for us to talk about her together.
