Baby Bump @ 37 Weeks

Total Weight Gained/Loss? As of last week, I was up 24lbs. I go again this afternoon but I don't expect much change, if any.

Maternity Clothes? I made the mistake of trying to wear my pre-baby jeggings today and I'm miserable because the waist band is cutting into the underside of my belly.

Sleep?  It's not happening. Let's move on.

Movement?   Asher gets really crazy active in the morning. He kicks and punches and stretches so hard that I swear he's trying to bust his way out - and may actually succeed! This goes on for about 2 hours and makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. Definitely not my favorite part of the day.

Food Cravings?  ice cream (currently French Silk) and honeycrips apples

Food Aversions?  pretty much just fast food in general

Belly Button?   Aaaaalll the way out but it pulls back in when I have contractions.

Best Moment of the Week?  We started Logan on ADHD meds over the weekend after a long battle with his behavior. It's been like night and day and I've sat here at my desk and cried over the positive emails and text messages I've received from his teachers and daycare lady.

What I miss:  Pretty much just not being pregnant. Not hurting when I move. Not wanting to cry or punch someone all the time.

What I'm looking forward to:  My chiropractor appointment tomorrow morning and then, of course, finally meeting Asher next week!

Milestones?   Nothing major to speak of right now, just counting down to the big day!

Baby Bump @ 36 Weeks

Total Weight Gained/Loss?  As of my appointment 2 weeks ago, I was down to 19 lbs, but I'm probably back up in the 20's this week. I go this afternoon, so I'll find out then.

Maternity Clothes? Entirely. Even some of my maternity shirts are getting a little short.

Sleep? There is no such thing.

Movement? It was cute at first but I'm so over it now. Asher gets the hiccups probably 5 times a day. PLUS, all the kicking and punching and everything else. He's actually made me feel sick on several occasions due to all of his movement. I have a TON of contractions. I like to tell myself that I'll go to the doctor today and he'll tell me that the contractions are actually doing something and we're making progress and need to move up our c-section, but I know that's just wishful thinking. Oh well.

Food Cravings?  At this point, I'm pretty much just eating whatever I want. I have some ice cream most nights. This weekend I bought a big bag of apples because I couldn't walk through the produce aisle at walmart one more time and have to smell them without bringing some home.

Food Aversions?  Nothing specific.

Belly Button?   There is no hiding it, but it sucks back in really far when I have a contraction. For the lighter ones, that's how I tell if I'm contracting or if he's just stretching.

Best Moment of the Week? My parents kept the kids Saturday night so that Kyle and I could "relax" before the baby comes. We ended up staying pretty busy but we did go out to dinner and it was DELICIOUS! Oh, AND AND AND I bought a van last week. It has a sunroof and it's kind of awesome.

What I miss: Not being pregnant.

What I'm looking forward to: Not being pregnant.

Milestones? The nursery is in pretty good shape. We bought a van. Most of the house is picked up. I've wrapped up a majority of the things at work that require my attention. Now I just need to pack my hospital bag and actually CLEAN the house and we'll be ready to go.
