How far along? 38 Weeks
Weight loss/gain? +37 pounds, lost a few pounds at this weeks appointment! YAY!
Maternity clothes? OHHHH YEAHH!
Stretch Marks? Not yet, and hopefully not at all, we're almost to the end here!
Sleep? What's that? I never stay still in bed anymore for longer than about an hour and a half to two at a time. Between waking up randomly for no reason, to waking up worrying over the.most.random. things, to bathroom breaks, to waking up for contractions....clearly there is very little time left for the physical act of sleeping
Best moment this week? Weekly doctor appointment duh! It's my new thing to look forward to! To be honest, that's about it! This was a tough week emotionally for me!
Miss Anything? I miss so much from pre pregnancy, but on the other hand, the fact that we are going to start our family and meet our little girl in a month or less trumps all of that!
Movement? Constantly! This chick wants out!
Food Cravings? Still chomping ice, morning chocolate milk ritual, and I'd all but trade all my meals in on steady servings of sweets and carbs!! Who am I? Never have I been a big bread fan till now!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Not too bad this week, just get super full super fast and pretty much anything makes me have reflux
Have you started to show yet? Maybe I should just remove this question for remainder of pregnancy, cuz that's a big fat DUH!!
Gender? Girl!
Labor signs? Braxton Hicks contractions still, which sometimes keep me up at night, all night one particular night. Of course, no consistency yet to make them true labor. I'm also sure that baby has made the drop this week! I could tell almost instantly even though I never felt a lightening feeling. This weeks exam showed me to be a 2 and 80% effaced, Dr. B could also feel her head and the bag of water so we know her head is pretty much engaged...so, I ask, What's the hold up sister???
Symptoms? Super swollen of course and just general 9 month pregnant uncomfortable. I guess you could also say reflux and heartburn are pretty much at a high. Maybe soon she'll drop on down and relieve a little of that pressure.
Belly Button in or out? Outie and pretty obviously!
Wedding rings on or off? Off, I've given up!!
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy for the most part but moodiness sorta took over this week, one day in particular was just horrible where I cried all day.
Looking forward to? Having her in our arms safe and sound!
Ok so like I said, as I finish up this post, I must include that Presley has already made her arrival...She arrived before I was even able to make a 39 week post so 38 weeks is our last official picture/weekly update. There is so much to share on her birth story, one week in pictures, and then there's that dang nursery post that I am determined to make to include all of the details bit by bit. As I get to all of that I just couldn't leave out our last official chalkboard week and all of the details from that week as well. So please read below in past context, haha. More to come soon!
38 weeks-whew, what a toughie for me. Dealing with lots of uncomfortableness, sleepless nights, anxiety for whats to come, I'm ready!...wait, I'm not ready! Such a roller coaster. At any rate, here are this weeks highlights...
We started out the week with another Sunday outing with lunch at Big Orange and to go see The Dark Knight Rises at the Imax. I LOVE the batman trilogy and have been waiting for this to come out all summer. I knew it was gonna be a super long one and multiple times I squirmed in my seat with my 38 week pregnant self but it was definitely worth it. Me, Jason, and Robby made a day of it and we were all really happy with the movie as well as the lunch choice...Big Orange, YUM!!!
Last big event at 38 weeks was my sister's birthday! Randi's birthday is July 30 which fell on a Monday so we celebrated on Sunday at my moms with a delicious dinner of bacon wrapped hamburger steak, twice baked potatoes, fresh corn, homemade bread, green beans, and pasta salad. Mama also made a strawberry pie per Randi's request and got her a delicious birthday cake. We had a great time stuffing our faces and celebrating Randi's birth. How lucky I am to have a sister, I already hope Presley has a sister some day. Such a special, irreplaceable bond. We love you so much Randi and hope your day was perfect!!

Mama and her sweet sweet man! |
Little boo waiting on some cake |
Bath time at Nettie's-always a huge hit! |
Brady like the jets and lots of bubble but it scares A so he gets out and lets Brady play at the end |
LOL, more bubbles than you can imagine!! |
Well, the very next day, Monday July 30, Randi's actual birthday, started 39 weeks. And on that evening I went into labor with Presley. So no 39 week picture but oh what a story!! I can hardly wait to share her birth story, reliving it in my mind gets me excited all over again! More posts this week!
