Total weight gain/loss:  + 19.4 lbs

Maternity clothes:  Nothing new!

Best moment this week:   Being on maternity leave!  Haha.  I've been quite productive...cleaning the house, purging and reorganizing the pantry/kitchen, finishing the last bit of Grace's laundry, installing a new shower caddy (hubby installed the new shower head), and running a ton of errands.

38 Week Bumpdate!

How far along:  38 weeks!!  ~2 to go!

Baby is the size of a(n):  watermelon {yum!}

Total weight gain/loss:  + 19.4 lbs

Maternity clothes:  Nothing new!

Sleep:  It's ok.  I'm getting restless switching from my right side to my left side all night.

Best moment this week:   My hubby setting up the bassinet in our bedroom, which is where Grace will sleep in the beginning :)  We are now officially ready!!!  We also set up our little lullaby swing (which is amazing and I wish they made something like that for adults!).  AND...IT WAS MY LAST WEEK OF WORK!!!  AS OF TODAY, I'M OFFICIALLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE!!  WOOHOO!

Baby Movement:  She's still quite the wiggle worm!

Cravings:  I still can't get enough watermelon!  Mmmm.

Missing anything:  Sleeping on my tummy and back.

Pregnancy symptoms:  Heartburn, constant bathroom breaks, and Braxton Hicks.

Showing yet:  Yep!  She's all belly, sticking our forward, and she's starting to make her descent toward my pelvic area!

Labor signs:  Braxton Hicks, although that's not really a "labor sign" per se since they are false contractions.  It's basically my uterus practicing contracting for the real deal.

Belly button in or out:  Outtie!

Wedding rings on or off:  On!

Looking forward to:  Meeting our daughter and telling her how much we love her for the very first time :)

37 Week Bumpdate!

How far along:  37 weeks!!  I'm officially full term!

Baby is the size of a(n):  honeydew melon

Total weight gain/loss:  + 17.2 lbs

Maternity clothes:  Nothing new!

Sleep:  Tossing and turning from side to side all night.  I'll be comfortable for a couple hours on one side, but then that shoulder and hip get stiff so I have to turn over, then vice versa...it's a vicious cycle.

Best moment this week:   Confirming at my doctor's appointment that Gracie is still head down and ready to make her descent!  Also working from home this week has been absolutely wonderful.  One more week of work until I'm officially on maternity leave!

Baby Movement:  Oh yea!

Cravings:  I'm still on a watermelon kick!!  It's just so tasty and satisfying!

Missing anything:  Sleeping on my tummy and back.  Other than that, I'm missing nothing!

Pregnancy symptoms:  Heartburn, constant bathroom breaks, and Braxton Hicks.

Showing yet:  Torpedo belly!!!

Labor signs:  Braxton Hicks, although that's not really a "labor sign" per se since they are false contractions.  It's basically my uterus practicing contracting for the real deal.

Belly button in or out:  Outtie!

Wedding rings on or off:  On!

Looking forward to:  Meeting our little miracle girl!  She could really come any day now!!!

My June Bug wanted to be in the picture :)

Missing anything:  Not really.

Pregnancy symptoms:  A little heartburn, constant bathroom breaks, and Braxton Hicks.

Showing yet:  Torpedo belly!!!

Wedding rings on or off:  On!

Looking forward to:  Being on maternity leave!  Today is my last day in the office, then I'm working from home for two weeks until my leave begins.  It'll be nice to work from home though, so I can rest up and store my strength and energy for labor :)
