38 weeks

Here I am about 38 1/2 weeks. I am officially huge. 

Went to the Dr on Tuesday and I had lost 3 pounds. Dr. Ballard laughed and said, " What in the world??" I told her I am sick all the time. I have gotten sick at least 4 times this week. It was funny!

Still not dilated or anything.:(  But I am having some contractions. Very sporadic and short!!

But next week, we will have another ultrasound and check her weight and I cannot wait to see how much she weighs.

I am getting nervous about the whole delivery and just everything. We wanted a baby for so long- it is just hard to imagine her being here. Even though I feel her and see my stomach move, I just can't even begin to imagine what it is going to be like to have her here to hold and see. 

Her nursery is done. I am still holding off on pictures until I'm 100% sure it's the way it should be. Now, if I can get the rest of the house organized- she can make her appearance. 

37 weeks

Today I am 37 weeks. I cannot believe it! 

Weight: I have gained about 7-8 lbs total

I do feel like my belly could explode.

Baby Movement: Oh me- this is where Jaylie is a little stubborn. Weeks ago,  she didn't move for 11 hours. So we were in labor and delivery, for about 2 hours checking on her. Yesterday, I went to Dr Ballard and she asked me if she was moving good- I panicked a little because I honestly had not stopped moving all day and didn't think she had. 

If I'm moving all day, she is not. So,

I have to get still and really focus everyday on her moving. Usually, I have to lay down to get her started. As I write this, laying down, she is moving away!!

What I miss: sleeping through the night, sleeping comfortably and sleeping with only 2 pillows. The couch is my best friend right now. I start in the bed and wind up on the couch almost every night. I cannot lay my head down at all or I will get sick:) 

Sick: Why yes of course!! I got sick in the middle of my class last week. I had to run out, I couldn't even talk to tell them. Oh me was I sick- luckily some other teachers saw me run and took over for 25 minutes. But you know, everything else has been good with the pregnancy-  so sick is just what I was meant to be. 

Cravings: Not really, except for anything sweet to drink. Apple juice, Kool aid, lemonade, Sunny D, water with lemon is all so good to me right now. I mean, really good. I have never consumed as much water as I do now. A good thing that I hope will continue... 

We finally got the bedding and with the help of my Mom and Uncle Josh- almost have the nursery ready. I mean she could be in it now but it is not quite picture perfect. 

This is the last week of school with kiddos. It is wearing me out and I am hoping that I will have a little more energy once school is over.  Because right now, not much gets accomplished when I get home from school. I'm so tired and sore by then, I just have to either sit in the recliner or lay on the couch. Here's hoping I make it through the end of school!!

35 weeks-2 weeks Late

At 35 weeks, I finally roped my husband into having some pictures made. Jaylie, your Daddy went fishing, that is why his face is SUNBURNT. Yes, the joys of men and no sunscreen.....

Oh my heart!! Look at my Scruff MaGruff- I. Adore. This. 

This is one of my other favorites

We are truly now waiting on this little woman who is going to change our lives. Including Scruffy's- bless his heart- he has no idea and I hope He and Jaylie get along. 

Oh, and when you look at the pictures- please note that I know my nose is spreading. It was the first thing I said about the pictures!

I have more pictures but these are all that I have from my phone. The blogger app works so much faster!!
