Full-term and anxiously waiting!!




We have had an exciting few weeks lately. We've gotten all of our maternity photos done, we had a wonderful baby shower and got great gifts, we went on a shopping spree for the rest of Levi's baby things, and we've gotten his nursery completely ready to go! We have been having lots and lots of contractions over the past week, and were dilated about 1 cm as of Wednesday. Any time that our sweet boy is ready to make his appearance, we are more than ready for him! We are thrilled that he could come at all time, and will be a healthy little boy. We can't wait!!

How far along? 37 weeks!!!
Maternity clothes? Oh please. Even those are starting to get too small at this point! I'm HUGE!
Stretch marks? Yep. Sadly, I did not escape without them, but that's okay!
Sleep: What's sleep? I am up all the time at this point between the bathroom, pain, and contractions. At least I will be ready to be up with a baby!
Best moment this week: Last week Stephen got to feel Levi moving, AND even felt his hiccups! It was awesome. Otherwise this week, the best moment has been today, knowing we are full term and could be ready to go at any time :o)
Miss Anything?  Feeling like a "normal" person. I think I've forgotten what it's like to NOT be pregnant.
Movement: Goodness does this little guy move!! Even now with cramped quarters, he is on the move all the time. Sometimes he even hurts me because he's so strong!
Food cravings: They still tend to be incredibly random. I can't say there is much of anything that I consistently crave.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Lately I've been feeling queasy off and on - mostly I think from the hormones, or contractions.
Have you started to show yet:  Ha!! I'm super huge!!
Labor Signs: LOTS of contractions! We *could* be in early labor!
Belly Button in or out? Believe it or not, it's still in. I must have a super deep belly button.
Wedding rings on or off? Definitely off. I don't even wear them around my neck too much any more in case I go into labor - I don't want to forget and end up wearing them to the hospital where they may get lost.
Happy or Moody most of the time: It varies. I've been in a good mood, but a little bit cranky because I'm sick already of having contractions that don't lead any where.
Looking forward to: HAVING THIS BABY!! At least if he isn't here by Wednesday, we have another doctor's appointment where we will hopefully find out that all these contractions have gotten me somewhere.
