37 weeks

How far along?  37 weeks.

Baby Hart is the size of:  A bunch of Swiss Chard.  Really, BabyCenter??  Realy??

Total weight gain/loss:  Didn't gain any this week, so still at 20 lbs total.

Maternity clothes?  And improvising.

Stretch marks?  Yes.

Sleep:  Silas tried to start the day today at midnight.  Midnight.  And the battle continued till we all got up at 6am.

Best moment this week:  Our baby shower on Sunday!

Miss anything?  Sleep.  Been missing that since before my pregnancy with Silas ;-)

Movement:  Yes, and one of the cutest things the last few weeks is that I can feel him "jump" when there's suddenly a really loud noise!  Too cute :-)  Also, I TOTALLY heard a click-like noise a couple times when he moved- the good ol' internet informed me it's something catching with my pelvic bone when he moves certain ways, which makes sense since he's breech ;-)

Food cravings:  Chocolate and fall things- craving fall in general :-)

Symptoms:  Sciatica, the ol' lady walk;), and exhaustion.

 Showing?  Yes.

Gender:  Boy:)

Belly button in or out?  It's almost going all weirdly flat again...

 Wedding rings on or off?  On.

Adjustments?  Still trying to adjust Baby Hart to not be breech- maybe I have?  Maybe not?  Who knows! We shall see!

Emotions:  Been feeling calmer since knocking through a lot more of our to-do list.  Still pretty overwhelmed at how quickly time's flying! The shower made me a lot more excited too though!  I held a newborn size diaper today and it was like WHOA.  THAT SMALL???  :):)

Learned this week:  Was reminded that plans change HAHA ;-)  Since today was Labor Day and the shower is done, I was really planning on trying some tricks to get myself into labor.  But alas, after Silas' near all-nighter I decided to take it easy instead;)

So thankful for:  So many things!! My friend Sarah from Chattanooga came in for the weekend and was such a help, and Silas was THRILLED to have her here!  Also so thankful to the Lifeway Staff for our baby shower and the gifts!!  Last but not least, SO thankful that God provided a car last Tuesday on our hunt!  After many dead ends, He led us to exactly what we were looking for and within our pricing needs!  Praising Him!!!

Looking forward to:  Jason texted me today that I'm "clocking out" tonight when he gets home and I get the "day off" tomorrow too :-)  How cute and sweet is he?? :)  Excited to get through my personal to-do list and not have to do any Silas duties or cooking/cleaning duties!  Let the nesting take full force! ;)

Week 37

How far along? 37 weeks.

Baby Hart is the size of:  A winter melon.

Total weight gain/loss:  Lost 1/2 lb. so 25 gained even.

Maternity clothes? I don't even want to go there.   Between the 100+ temps and my massive belly I am getting quite the use out of the couple of things that make me not as miserable.  And then there's Jason's T-shirts....

Stretch marks? I think I might be getting a little one above my belly button... however, that area is so bizarre looking right now it's hard to tell :P

Sleep: Not so awesome this week.

Best moment this week:  Having our last ultrasound this past Thursday!  And getting our prenatal pics:):)

Miss anything? Cooler temps.  And crossing me legs;)

Movement: Been the same, and totally golden!

Food cravings:  Ice cream.

Symptoms:  Sciatic pain :P And swollen feet/hands, prolly mainly thanks to the insane heat;)
Showing?  I'm a truck.

Gender:  Lil boy:)

Belly button in or out?  Out and weird.
Wedding rings on or off? On.

Adjustments?  Adjusting to the quickly moving countdown....

Emotions: Excited and anxious for the big day!  And a lil confused as to my lack of nesting;)

Learned this week:  Learned some fun things about our lil munchkin at our ultrasound.  Baby Hart's head is good and super low.  It was also confirmed that he has Jason's long toes;)  And the one thing measuring bigger than schedule?  His belly;)  

So thankful for:  Water!  I've been so hit by how amazing it is to have clean, cold water accessible all the time.  I was watering our flowers outside the other day and all the sudden realized how crazy that would seem to so many people in the world- we water our flowers.  We're that blessed with water, we can pour it on our plants.  Such a blessing- and I'm deeply grateful!

Looking forward to: Getting the last couple things off the "to-do-before-baby" list this week!  Then I'm gonna start trying alll the old wives tales to get this train a rollin'!:)

Other highlights: We got our car seat and stroller all set up and installed this week!  And our hospital bag almost completely packed! So neat to feel so close to "ready" :)
