35 weeks |
37 weeks |
I think it's safe to say I've had a major growth spurt over the last 2 weeks :)
Obessions/Rampages: I cannot believe D-day is so close! Doctor said everything is looking fine. In fact, at 35 weeks she said, "Don't come in next week, I'll see you in two weeks instead." Sounds good to me! I'm officially more pregnant than I've ever been. I don't know what it's like to be more pregnant than this, but all I can say is that all those women are right. The last few weeks are not very comfortable. I feel like a beached whale trying to turn from side to side in the middle of the night. Obsessed once again with the movement of this boy. He is sooo active! I sleep on my side and he is always kicking it. I've been on a ridiculous organizing rampage. It's like I'm anticipating never leaving the house or doing anything for the next 4 months! So crazy! The most ridiculous is that I washed everything in the linen closet and organized it and made labels. And I already have Elijah's Halloween costume and some Christmas presents and I bought Matt a new work wardrobe and Elijah a new wardrobe. I just worry my boys are going to be a little neglected the next few months so I'm trying to cover my bases. We've got basically all the top priority stuff done on our to do list, so if the baby comes we are good to go. Now I'm onto doing things that are not top priority like reupholstering our headboard, buying a million curtains for the front room because I can't decide what I want, and repainting Elijah's room because I can't stand the color all of a sudden. I'm hoping this preggy brain doesn't make any rash decisions I'm going to regret in a couple of months
Elations/ Worries: Elated I still sleep pretty well, not perfect but I can't complain. I totally jinked myself with my last post about not getting heartburn. If I eat past 7 and it's more than the size of an apple I get heartburn. yuck! I forgot how gross it is! I'm having a far amount of Braxton Hicks but nothing crazy, but then again I didn't with Elijah either. I'm so anxious for my next appointment to see how everything is going. Elated we have a name... I think. We like it a lot, but we'll see if he looks like it when he comes out. Elijah has been so cute lately, he'll hug my tummy and say, "ahhh" when I ask him where the baby is. He has no idea what's about to happen :) Also, I don't think my belly button is going to make it, if it grows one more centimeter it will pop like the thermometer on a Thanksgiving turkey.
Aversions/Cravings: My stomach is definitely getting squished. I can't eat as much for fear of getting a massive heartburn attack at the end of the day. I've been really into baking lately. Feels so homey and fallish. Even though it's STILL 500 degress outside. Still drinking an obscene amount of water, so I go potty a lot- as in 3 times in 20 mins- that's the record so far :)

You finally look beautifully pregnant. Sorry about the heartburn. It will soon be relieved. Can't wait to see all your busy little beaver projects.
