39 Weeks!

How far along: 39 weeks, 1 day

Maternity clothes: Yep!

Best moment this week: I was hoping to spend Mother's Day holding my sweet girl but doesn't look like that's going to happen! I got the sweetest bracelet from Brock for my 1st Mother's Day and we had a great brunch with my parents! We also had a good Dr's visit on Thursday. We had another ultrasound, so it was fun to get to see her! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see her face because she's so far down and in the right position, can't be too upset about that though! Everything looked great and they estimate her to be about 7lbs 1oz as of last Thursday which puts her in the 56th percentile! The tech says she has some chubby legs!! Haha....poor thing, comes by that naturally!

Movement: Yes!

Food cravings: Sonic peanut butter fudge shake has been my weakness this week...1/2 price after 8!!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: I get contractions when I go for walks but then they always stop when I'm done :( Mainly just braxton hicks still!

Rings on or off: On!

Looking forward to: Meeting our baby girl!! I'm really hoping she decides to come this week, we learned that our Dr. is going to be out of town the week of the 20th! I'm trying to be patient but I'm just SO ready for her to be here! One of my best friends said yesterday, "She's like her momma, not really in a hurry! Can't be mad at that!" So true! But she does have some of Brock in her too so maybe she'll come a couple days early!! We will keep everyone updated! I also plan to post pictures of her nursery and some updates we've done to the house...so be on the lookout! :)

38 Weeks!

How far along: 38 weeks, 1 day

Maternity clothes: Yes, and comfy shorts/pants and t-shirts!

Best moment this week: I did a few loads of Blakelee's laundry...it was so fun to fold those little clothes and blankets! I'm sure feeling excited about doing her laundry will not last but the first loads were fun!!

Movement: Yes! I can feel her REALLY low now...love to know that she's getting ready!

Food cravings: Not really anything (boring...I know!)

Gender: Girl!!

Labor signs: I had some contractions yesterday morning that were consistent enough that I started timing them but then they stopped :( Last appointment he said I was pretty much the same, MAYBE 1cm dilated (I'm pretty sure he said that just to make me feel like something had changed!) 

Rings on or off: On!

Looking forward to: I am getting so excited to have this little girl in my arms!! I always said I wouldn't be one of "those" people that gets impatient and that I would just want her to come when she's ready....well, boy was I wrong!! I am SO ready for her to be here!! We go back to the Dr. on Thursday for an appointment and another sono. He wants to check her growth/weight since she was in the 80th percentile back at 34.5 weeks. I'm excited to have another sono but would have NO problem if we didn't make to Thursday and we could just see her in person!! Prayers that I make some progress this week, a safe delivery for both of us, and for a healthy baby girl would be much appreciated!!!

37 Weeks!

How far along: 37 weeks, 3 days

Maternity clothes: Yes! And stretchy pants and t-shirts!! :)

Best moment this week: Working on her nursery! It's really coming together...I melt every time I walk in!!

Movement: Yes...although we did have a little scare this past Saturday. She was moving just not her "normal" amount! So, to be on the safe side we decided to go to the hospital just to make sure everything was ok! We were monitored for about 2.5 hours and everything looked great...she's just running out of room and wanting to sleep more!!

Food cravings: Not anything this week!

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: A few real contractions but nothing consistent! At the last Dr's visit I was 50% effaced but no dilation yet :(

Rings on or off: On!

Looking forward to: Holding my baby girl, I'm getting so anxious to meet her!! Hoping I have made some progress when I go to the Dr. on Thursday! Prayers welcome! :)

36 Weeks!

How far along: 36 weeks, 1 day

Maternity clothes: Oh ya!

Best moment this week: We received her bedding and her room is finally starting to come together! I love it, I tear up every time I walk in there! I did my first loads of little pink laundry this week..SO fun!! 

Movement: ALL the time!

Food cravings: Nothing really...but I did really want a hamburger last night! :)

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: Mainly Braxton-Hix but there have been a few times that they have definitely felt a little different/stronger but nothing consistent!

Rings on or off: On! (unless I forget to put them on in the morning...forgetfulness is starting to get to me!!)

Looking forward to: This weekend we have worked hard to get things ready for her arrival! I'm ready for her room to be somewhat complete (I'm sure it won't EVER be completely done!) so that I can show it off on the blog! Even though we feel like we still have a lot to get done before she comes we are both just SO excited to finally get to meet our sweet baby girl!! Prayers for an easy labor/delivery and a healthy baby girl will be much appreciated!!

35 Weeks!

Best moment this week: We had a great week! We had a Dr's appointment last Thursday and got to have a sono to see Blakelee's position and estimated weight. It was so amazing to see how much she has changed in the last 15 weeks since our last sono! Everything looks perfect! She has hair and chubby cheeks, they estimate that she weighs 6lbs 3oz right now...that puts her in the 80th percentile!! We also went to Abilene for the weekend and got to see some great friends and celebrated Austin and Kellie's wedding! The weather was perfect and the ceremony was beautiful...it was a wonderful weekend!
