40 Weeks

Right after we found out we were expecting my sister insisted we start taking pics...so there I am at 6 weeks. ...and here I am at 40 weeks. Quite a change!

How far along: 40 Weeks with Baby Girl!

Size of Baby: Full grown. Well done. As I pass my due date I pray she doesn't get too big!!

Weight Gain: 23 lbs to be exact

Maternity Clothes: As you can see I am wearing a t-shirt in the above pic. It doesn't get any better than that these days. I am tempted to wear one to church on Sunday.  

Sleep: Very tired. All the time. I sleep ok even though I wake up a hundred-thousand times each night. Funny how if I woke up once during the night before I was pregnant I wondered what the heck was wrong with me. Now if I can go back to sleep every time I wake up without laying there thinking about everything I consider it a great night's sleep.  

Foods I'm loving: I pretty much hate all food these days because I'm really having an issue with heartburn. I actually dread eating each day.     

Foods I'm hating: Everything.

 Movement: Baby Girl is moving a lot these days. I just wish she'd start moving in the right direction...out!   

Best moment this week: Hearing I'd made more progress at my Dr. appt! Although, Baby Girl is still not here yet, so...maybe that news isn't so exciting. 

What I miss: Being pregnant but still feeling great. These days everything hurts and nothing is comfortable.     

What I'm looking forward to: THIS BABY'S ARRIVAL. I can't wait. I actually find myself thinking that maybe it won't be so bad to be induced even though I've been vehemently against it the entire pregnancy.

Side Note:  Someone (not for the 1st time) actually thought we are naming our baby "Secret" when she asked what the name is and I told her "it's a secret." Maybe I'm not speaking clearly enough or maybe people just aren't listening...not quite sure...but no, we are not naming our child "Secret." So for the MANY of you who won't let up about us telling you the name...there's a name you can cross off the list. 

I hope the next post will be all about Baby Girl!

39 Weeks

How far along: 39 Weeks with Baby Girl!

Size of Baby: Dreamed she was 9 lbs 1 oz. I am somewhat hoping that's not true...but we shall see!

Weight Gain: Around 20...maybe more...not quite sure cause I haven't weighed myself since going to the doc last week.

Maternity Clothes: Blah. I am ready for a change in wardrobe. 

Sleep: Same as last week. I have been REALLY tired this week. Like, really...  

Foods I'm loving: Nothing in particular    

Foods I'm hating: Nothing in particular

 Movement: Baby Girl is moving a lot these days. I just wish she'd start moving in the right direction...out!   

Best moment this week: NOT taking my brother to the airport...worst moment. Hm...I don't know...getting a swiffer wet jet from my brother was pretty exciting. I think I'm so geared up to have Baby Girl that everything else sort of pales in comparison. 

What I miss: Same as last week: This week I have been so so sore. I pretty much hate having to move...and don't even mention trying to get up out of bed. So...I guess I miss being able to get around without feeling as if I'm going to fall apart. 

I am also missing regular clothes...getting tired of maternity.   

What I'm looking forward to: THIS BABY'S ARRIVAL.

Side Note:  If you're still reading this non-exciting post, you can probably tell that I'm drained of energy. We're very ready for Baby Girl's arrival...it's hard to be in this waiting period. I have ZERO energy. Several people this week were shocked when we told them my due date was 1 week away. Apparently I don't look that big to the public...I don't even think I look that big...but I can assure you I FEEL 39 weeks pregnant. I have LOVED LOVED LOVED being pregnant...Now I am LOVE LOVE LOVING the idea of not being pregnant and having Baby Girl sitting between us. Will I have a 40 week post???
