39 Weeks!

How far along: 39 weeks
Baby size of: A watermelon! Eek! That's too big! I think it's time for him to come now! 
Total weight gain: I've gained about 33 pounds. My doctor joked it was all in my stomach but that kind of scares me to think that I could be having a big baby! 
Maternity clothes: I'm due in 7 days...obviously I'm wearing maternity clothes ha!
Sleep: It's definitely a lot harder in the last few weeks to sleep. I think it's a mix of anxiety and excitement. For some reason I don't think about baby coming during the day but every time I go to bed I think "this could be it! He could come!" 
Cravings: Still sweets mostly. He really likes his chocolate. 
Best moment this week: Not baby related...but Josh and I had a super fun St. Paddy's Day together :) also-it was beautiful weather on Sunday and we loved it. (Course, it's been cold and cloudy ever since...)
Emotional moment this week: Just lots of excitement and nerves and anxiety!! 
Belly button: It's pretty out. It kind of pops in and out depending on how I'm sitting.  
Wedding ring on or off: ON! :)
Looking forward to: Meeting Baby J! Josh and I realize every day how close we are to having the baby and we can't even imagine it! 

Things have been good here! The last few weeks definitely get harder but I've been so lucky with this pregnancy, I really can't complain. I can still walk and jump around (I try to hop around the apartment...don't want baby to be too comfortable and stay in there forever!) and I'm not sick or overly tired of being pregnant. I am definitely ready to meet our little man but I can't complain about the pregnancy. I am pretty terrified of labor though!! I think I've been having contractions but they aren't consistent and they don't hurt. I just get the tightening of my belly and no pain along with it. I've been keeping track of them but they aren't frequent enough yet to really worry. Hopefully that just means my body is preparing for him to come! 
We can't wait! The idea that we will have a baby in the next week is crazy! So many emotions! 

38 Weeks!

How far along: 38 weeks
Baby size of: A small pumpkin!! 
Total weight gain: I've gained about 31 pounds. Whew! 
Maternity clothes: Duh
Sleep: Trying to soak it up as much as I can before he comes! Definitely not taking the sleep I do get for granted...although I haven't slept through the night in a while. 
Cravings: Lots of things...food is yummy! Sweets are still at the top of the list although we also love Mexican and spicy food. 
Best moment this week: I go to the doctor every week now and this week we were talking about how he really could come any day now and we talked about labor. All of it was just making me so excited that he really could come at any point! I can't even imagine! 
Emotional moment this week: I think I get more and more emotional the closer we get to the end. 
Belly button: Still flat...not out, not in. Just kind of there. 
Wedding ring on or off: ON! :)
Looking forward to: Obviously having the baby!! I keep thinking he's going to come early but I think every pregnant woman thinks that...it's a mix of wishful thinking and nerves :) Honestly though we can't wait! It's so crazy! 

Our little man could officially come any day now...which is a little scary and a lot exciting! It's just so crazy to imagine us bringing him home and our lives never being the same again. We can't wait...and yet that's all we really can do until he decides to come :)

37 Weeks!

How far along: 37 weeks
Baby size of: Winter Melon (what's a winter melon??) 
Total weight gain: About 30 pounds! Oh boy! 
Maternity clothes: Yeah! We scored this week and found 2 awesome pairs of maternity jeans at DI! I'm going to live in them for the next 3 weeks. 
Sleep: I love sleep and I love my pregnancy dreams. I had the funniest dream this past week. I gave birth to a flying squirrel haha! I was really concerned because he was a little small so I decided to put him back for a couple more weeks. Oh geez! 
Cravings: He (and by him, I mean me...) still loving those sweets! It helps that my birthday was this past week and I got lots of yummy treats. 
Best moment this week: My birthday! So fun! I'll post a different blog about it later but it was great :) 
Emotional moment this week: I had my fair share of pregnancy hormones and some tears. But that comes with the territory right?
Belly button: It's not really out...but it's not in. It's just kind of flat. 
Wedding ring on or off: I'm still lucky enough to wear it! Glad I haven't swollen up yet! 
Looking forward to: Meeting our little man! I'm officially full term so from here on out it's just a waiting game. Crazy!! 

Happy 37 weeks to us! I'm officially considered full term! It is crazy! I can't believe how fast it's gone, but also I feel like I've been pregnant forever! It's kinda scary not knowing when he's coming but the doctor said she wouldn't be surprised if we went to the due date. So I guess we will see! We are still loving life and soaking up all these moments of us time before he comes :)

Nursery Reveal!

We covered all the outlets in the room with maps :)

We have adorable hot air balloon curtains for the window that my Mom is bringing when she comes at the end of the month :)

We are so excited to show everyone the nursery! It's crazy to think about how soon we will be bringing our little man home to his new room. We decided on a travel/adventure theme since early in the beginning...a big shout out and thanks to all those that gave us cute things to go along with our theme! :)

36 Weeks!

How far along: 36 weeks
Baby size of: Honeydew melon! (when I showed Josh the picture of the cute fruit with the face he said "wow he's a chubster!")
Total weight gain: About 29 pounds 
Maternity clothes: Yup, all I wear! I did buy a super cute post baby swimsuit. I tried to try it on (just for laughs) but it definitely doesn't fit over my stomach haha
Sleep: I love sleep. I am not looking forward to waking up every few hours to feed our little man in the next few weeks. 
Cravings: Sweets! All the time! We've been eating a lot of ice cream lately...oops :) Also, I'm currently making chocolate chip cookies. 
Best moment this week: My baby shower! My sweet friend Haleigh threw me a baby shower and it was so fun! All my cute friends came and brought cute gifts and we felt so loved. I'm so grateful for the amazing support and friends we have! We also took maternity photos this week and we love them! 
Emotional moment this week: Our nursery is done! We are going to be revealing it soon and I can't wait!! Every time I look in that room my stomach does a million flips of excitement and nerves! 
Belly button: It's so funny looking! It hasn't popped out yet but it's all stretched out. My stomach is so pointy. 
Wedding ring on or off: I'm lucky enough to say I still haven't started swelling so I still get to wear my ring :) (for now)
Looking forward to: My birthday! My birthday is on Tuesday! Which means my birthday week is officially being celebrated! Also looking forward to revealing our nursery to everyone! It's so cute :) 

I can't believe Baby J is due exactly 4 weeks from today! It's like counting down to a vacation and feeling that excitement but also nerves because you still have a lot to do before the vacation. You're also a little scared that the plane or boat may crash and you might die (hello, fear of labor!) and with a baby, our life will never be the same. I don't think we can even imagine! I can't wait to see his little face :)

Happy Leap Day!

I absolutely love any reason to celebrate and what's better than having an extra 24 hours?? Hope your leap day was a day to celebrate!
