36 weeks


Alright...we're almost there! This little girl is running out of room inside of me. She is unfortunately still breech, so we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks. If she doesn't turn, she will be gracing us with her presence (via doctor's intervention) in three short weeks! If she turns, then she can take her dear time coming out (hopefully not too long though). Still the slow steady weight gain...I am a little wider and carrying lower (profile shot looks pretty close to three weeks ago though). Everyone is assuming I am due any day now, which, in all honesty, is possible. Hospital bag is packed and ready to go. Baby's room clean and cute. Newborn clothes washed and put away. Enough diapers for at least the first week or two. Now the waiting game begins. I still have things left to do, but I tried to get all the important things done before this point. It is pretty tough to be comfortable now...heartburn is a regular problem, as well as finding a comfortable position to sleep in. But thankfully I have lots of time to rest at home before she gets here. Praying and hoping for a smooth delivery (whatever way God sees best) and a healthy, happy baby!

33 weeks


Here we are - in the last stretch! This little girl is welcome to come anytime in the next 4 to 8 weeks. Whenever she is ready! She is still very active and very visible on the outside now. It's fun to watch the rolling going on under my shirt. :)

The dreaded heartburn and nausea have returned in full force. I am hoping that I'll be able to eat enough for the two of us during the remaining month or two. Just not much room in there! Other than that, the baby and I are doing very well. Still measuring and weighing-in right on target.

Only one more week of work, then I'll be at home getting things ready for baby. AND getting lots of needed rest. It's a little sad to leave all the kiddos and my co-workers at the school, but I am excited for a bit of me time before my little one is here. The nursery is looking fabulous...only a few finishing touches and it will be ready.
