38 weeks!

On August 24th I was lucky enough to have a baby shower! It was absolutely incredible and I am so thankful for my Aunt Julie for hosting it at her house and putting it all together. I was honestly so worried that nobody was going to show up! But we had a great turn out and I got to catch up with some amazing women that have touched my life. I really want to publicly thank those who have shown their support through all of this. At the beginning of this pregnancy I was so worried that we weren't going to be able to provide for this child. I've come to realize that there are so many loved ones on our side to help us through this and for that I am so grateful. Thank you so much for your prayers, gifts and love. Our little growing family can't thank you enough.

How far along? 38 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain: I'm gaining right on track.

Sleep: Is a distant memory. I usually get a bit of sleep after dropping David off at work in the mornings.

Best moment this week: The baby shower! I feel so much more prepared.

Miss Anything? Sleep, mostly.

Movement: LOTS of rolling.

Food cravings: Ice, chocolate, nachos.

Anything making you queasy or sick: A little bit of nausea but I'm sure that's just the 3rd trimester talking.

Labor Signs: Lots of Braxton hicks, lower back pain, cramping, incredible pressure in my pelvis.

Symptoms:  Sciatic nerve pain (ow!), lower back pain, cramping, contractions, sore hips, swollen feet, forgetful & clumsy.

Belly Button in or out? I'm amazed that it's still in.

Wedding rings on or off? I took it off in fear of my fingers swelling up too much. I replaced it with a ring that I got in Disneyworld.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but it's all becoming so real! I'm to the point where I want baby here but I'm also so worried that I don't have everything done. We are still waiting to hear back on the insurance so please pray that it'll get approved on time!

Looking forward to: Going to Target tomorrow and spending the gift cards :)
