37 Weeks

My hubby takes a horrible picture. I am totally just belly and butt.
Size of Baby:  According to Baby Center,is she is considered full-term. Baby J should be about 6 pounds, which I am sure she is more than that now since she was 5 pounds 9 ounces two weeks ago.She should be about 19 inches long, like a stalk of Swiss chard.At this point, her hair has formed, but we could not tell on the last ultrasound.

Maternity Clothes: If it stretches it gets worn.

Gender: Baby J is a girl.

Movement: Baby J is trying to move all my organs out the way to make room for her little body. I guess she is thinking it is her space at the moment and she needs more room.
Sleep: Trying to find the right position that is comfortable for myself and Baby J. Sometimes I have to get up during the night due to leg cramps. 

What I Miss: Being able to bend over and tie my shoes without cutting of my air.

Cravings: Just been eating a lot of cereal this week. 

Symptoms: Leg cramps, some heartburn and swollen, swollen feet. 

Moment of the week:  Finally getting the bed together in the baby's room and putting up the pack in play in the living room.

Congrats! I never made it to 37 weeks (with twins, more than likely they are born premature) but I remember both of them moving around like crazy. It is a feeling that I will always remember and a feeling I would love to feel again...but I am not having anymore! If you need any clothes I have so many baby clothes (Excellent condition) some they did not get too because they grow so fast!

Are you loving pregnancy or are you ready for the hard work but exciting work that lies ahead?

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
