37 Weeks

Size of Baby: 37 weeks! [that is a apparently winter melon, in case you're curious!]

Gender: BOY!

Fun fact: All the apps say I am offically FULL TERM! Basically, all of his organs and systems function the way they should if I were to go into labor!

Movement: They've slowed down a little, he's running out of room. 

Sleep: I'm sleepy all the time. I still wake up about 2-3 times a night, so I am sleeping in about 2-3 hour increments. My body is truly prepping for baby!

Workouts: It is H-O-T. With a heat index of over 100 every day, this has slowed down drastically. I am still moving around a lot.. but the "workouts" have definitely slowed down.

Maternity Clothes: Same.Target Black Maxi, you da real MVP.

Symptoms: Other than just being tired, I can't complain. I do have a pretty painful case of carpal tunnel in my hands, but that will go away hopefully after baby is born. My doctor recommended a wrist brace, so I will be getting one of those today.
   
Cravings/Aversions: I crave keeping my dinner down. I have a nice little case of third trimester evening sickness! ha!

Missing Most: Fall. Lol can anyone relate?! It is hot out there!

Nursery: Ready for baby :)

Hubby: He's been so helpful when I move at a glacial pace! Lol

Best part of the Week: Knowing that I am one day closer to having this baby boy! Mom and I made freezer meals on Sunday. I have about 16 meals made up so far. Which will last us awhile, since I know mom will cook and friends will bring stuff over for us. God bless them. I did burn my stomach during the process via baking pan. I was more upset that there was now a mark on my stomach than the actual burn, because I surprisingly don't have any stretch marks [yet...].

Can't Wait For: To have this sweet baby boy!

8 Month Recap

Whoa, it's been a quick minute on the recaps. So, instead of doing weekly ones, I will just sum it up in the 8 month!


Size of Baby: 35w5d

Gender: Sweet baby BOY! I seriously cannot wait to call his name the first

Fun fact: We had our baby shower, and it was absolutely perfect! 

Movement: He is running out of room, but he still is moving a lot!

Sleep:  L O L. What is that?! I am at that "no position is comfortable" stage. The 8th month wasn't too bad, but gradually has gotten more difficult. Whoever says "Get your sleep now" has obviously never been pregnant! Ha, kidding!!

Workouts: Walking, and had to really slow it down, which really stinks!  

Maternity Clothes: Same. I live in my Junior's Target Black Maxi.

Symptoms: Exhaustion. Achy. Swelling (woof). You name it! Lol. I had some blood pressure issues last week... it was running a little high for me, not high for concern, but high for me. Then, last Wednesday I was at the dentist and passed out... BP dropped to 80/40. It was easily the scariest moment of my life, and I am not exaggerating when I say that. I was terrified. Which I think led me to have a panic attack. So, my dr admitted me to L&D to be monitored. Everything was a-okay, thank goodness. I just have to take it easy. Which is easier said than done!!
   
Cravings/Aversions: nothing really,

Missing Most: A nice cold turkey sandwich. So maybe I am craving something!!

Nursery: Basically done and ready for baby! I have his sheets and clothes washed!

Hubby:getting excited. And I think he's really nervous. Which is kind of neat. Glad to know I am not the only one thinking "oh my gosh, I am about to be responsible for a tiny human!!"

Best part of the Week [month]: Baby Shower was definitely a highlight for me!It was so perfect, and I couldn't have wished for more! I have the best friends.

Can't Wait For: We are going to the Luke Bryan/FLAGALine/Randy Houser/Dustin Lynch/& TR concert on Saturday. I am so pumped. This is kind of our last hoo-rah before baby boy gets here! We will have many after, but for the last month, I am actually planning to get some rest. Haha, we shall see if that actually happens!! I am also looking forward to my dr appointment next week... its the downhill slide from here!! Ahh!
