38 Weeks-Tic Tock!

I thought I deserved a t-shirt day today! Still representin’ though! And speaking of the gym, we have this little old lady that works out there(y’all KNOW how I love old people) and we were talking the other day and she thinks GFG stands for God’s Favorite Gym! haha! It’s God Family Gym but none of us have the heart to tell her any different! Plus it probably is His favorite! ;)

How far along: 38 Weeks! Get this kid OUT!

Size of the baby: According to the Pregnant Chicken, “Forget fruit, your baby is actually the size of a baby!” HAHA!

But really, this baby weighs 7 pounds and 15 ounces at the most! (as per our ultrasound!)

Total weight gain/loss: Up 32 pounds.

Maternity clothes: Yes.

Stretch marks: Old one.

Sleep: It would be nice to have some!

Best moment this week: Seeing our sweet little baby at our ultrasound yesterday! And now it looks nothing like Peyton to me! It’s so crazy how they change SO much! He/she has the most perfect, plump little lips that were KILLING me! Can’t wait to kiss those! And fat little cheeks! AHHHHH, get it OUT NOW!!!

We also saw my doctor yesterday. Things are progressing nicely according to him. I go back to see him Wednesday.

Movement: Me? Or the baby? Baby is still bouncing around in there like a Mexican Jumping Bean. I, on the other hand, can’t get around so well. This baby is SO LOW that it just feels like it’s going to fall out at any given moment. And everything just hurts. Sorry to the two men that read this! haha! It is what it is!

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really.

Gender: We scooted by the ultrasound once again without finding out! Yay us!

Labor signs: Still having contractions, they like to start in my back. It friggin’ hurts.

Belly button in or out: Um, I would tell you if I could see it!

What I am looking forward to: Ha! Um I don’t know?!?! Having a baby, maybe? hahaha!

And, yes, I’m still working!

Fun Weekend!

We had a pretty fantabulous weekend! First of all, when I got home from work on Friday, Hubby had cleaned the house, done 57 loads of laundry and had dinner ON THE TABLE!! YES!!! He knows I just can’t anymore so he’s taken over! I heart him!

That freed up my whole weekend! So Saturday the kiddies and I worked in my flower beds and played with the chickens! I worked in the nursery a little bit. It’s completely done except for what’s going on the walls! I should have the last thing today or tomorrow! YAY!

Yesterday I took some pictures of the kiddos. I wanted to do this one last time with just three of them! And last night we were finally able to go out to eat for my birthday! ;)   And the out takes, because no photo shoot that involves us is complete without them! I hope your week is total awesomeness! And I hope we birth a baby this week!!!

37 Weeks-Full Term!

How far along: 37 Weeks! Feels good to be full term! Not so many worries!

Size of the baby: According to Baby Center, it weighs 6 1/3 pounds and is a little over 19 inches..like a stalk of Swiss Chard…what?

Total weight gain/loss: Up 30 pounds. I lost another 2 pounds while I was sick and managed to gain a pound back.

Maternity clothes: Yes.

Stretch marks: Old one.

Sleep: It’s ok.

Best moment this week: Getting past that nasty stomach bug, having a good baby check-up and having a date with Reece.

We went and got our baby pedi’s last night! :) HAVE to have our toes cute when the baby comes!

Movement: OUCH!

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really. Just keeping myself alive this week! haha!

Gender: Um I can’t wait!

Labor signs: Yes! I am having contractions on and off! I’ve never had contractions before being in the hospital because with Griffin my water broke and they never started and with the other two I was induced.

Belly button in or out: In. Flatish.

What I am looking forward to: HAVING A BABY!

I had my weekly doc appointment on Wednesday. Everything looks great! I wasn’t dilated any but the head is extremely low, even since this is my fourth baby! So, that’s good news! My next appointment is Thursday!

ANY DAY NOW!!!!!!!

Easter, Sickies, Birthday

Our Easter weekend started out great! I took the kids to see The Croods and planned to take them to an egg hunt on Saturday.

But then I started feeling sick. I ended up with a stomach bug on Easter and on my cotton pickin’ birthday which was Monday! Not to mention I AM 36 weeks pregnant. Nothing says, “Happy Birthday” like feeling like you are going to yack all day. Oh I was SICK.

Luckily we dyed eggs before I got sick! It was fun to dye some of our own eggs this year! The pink and blue were the baby’s eggs! ;)   The bunny made it just in time because after he visited it was all down hill from there!

I was super sad that I didn’t get to do anything with my babies on Easter! I was confined to the couch. I finally started feeling better yesterday and now I’m back to my old self!

36 Weeks!

HOW is this my 36 week post already?! This pregnancy has flown by SO fast!

How far along: 36Weeks!

Size of the baby: According to Baby Center, he or she is “packing on the pounds”(that makes me cringe) and now weighs about 6 pounds(a crenshaw melon) and is 18 1/2 inches long! Gosh, Reece was only 19 inches when she was born!

Total weight gain/loss: Up 31 pounds. Lost 2 pounds in less than a week. Don’t tell Big Mama, she’ll have a speech for me! HAHA!

Maternity clothes: Yes.

Stretch marks: Old one.

Sleep: What’s that? Last night is the only night I’ve slept this week.

Best moment this week: Cuddling up with Hubby and falling asleep last night. He makes everything better. I’m sure that’s why I actually got some sleep last night.

Movement: Yes. And it’s starting to hurt!

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really. Well I want a lot of things, but right now I’m not allowing myself because most of it is sweet!

Gender: I have NO clue!

Labor signs: A few. I’ve had a lot of Braxton-Hicks this week as well as real contractions. Oh boy those babies will grab your attention!

Belly button in or out: In.

What I am looking forward to: Doctor’s appointment on Wednesday…hoping for a little progress! Oh and my birthday Monday! :) I would not be opposed to sharing my birthday with a little someone either!

Well, it’s official! I’m miserable. Especially at night. But, that’s ok…just keep swimming, right?!

35 Weeks!

From the looks of this picture that baby is WAY high! Sure doesn’t feel like it! haha!

How far along: 35 Weeks!

Size of the baby: According to Baby Center, he or she is over 18 inches long and 5 1/4 pounds(let’s hope and pray!)…size of a honeydew melon!

Total weight gain/loss: Up 33 pounds.

Maternity clothes: Yes.

Stretch marks: Old one.

Sleep: I’ve slept really well this week!

Best moment this week: Seeing our sweet little baby!

Movement: Still lots of movement, which if it’s such a big baby I don’t know how it has room for this.

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really. Still love the sweet tea with lemon but I’m cutting that out. I was only having one a day but doc wants me to steer away from sweets completely to try and keep the baby from putting on too much weight. So I’m watching everything that I put in my mouth. It’s only a couple of weeks…I CAN do this!

Gender: Don’t have a clue!

Labor signs: Nope.

Belly button in or out: In.

What I am looking forward to: My sweet little niece’s first birthday party tomorrow!

Ultrasound-Big Baby!

We had our ultrasound yesterday. It seems that we may have a big baby after all! I don’t know about all that. After getting all the measurements the ultrasound tech told me that most likely the weight she was about to tell me was “off” and that the baby was more than likely smaller than this…6 pounds and 2 ounces! She said she thinks closer to 5 1/2 pounds. I think I about died when she said that! I will only be 35 weeks tomorrow! She switched the ultrasound over to 3D just for fun and man oh man…it looks JUST LIKE Peyton! I don’t have any pictures because they charge $150 for the 3D ultrasound but here…

That’s Peyton and exactly what it looks like anyway! haha!

We also learned that baby LURVES to suck on it’s toes and hands. TOES and feet were in it’s face the whole time! Very talented child as per the u/s tech! :)

She also took a 3D pic of a foot and it’s feet are already 3 INCHES long. Go ahead and pull your ruler out. What. So now I think it’s a boy.

And then I think back over my pregnancy and think it’s a girl.

So, I’m 50/50 straight down the middle and can’t wait to be surprised!

As far as the baby being big, my doctor said we’ll just do another ultrasound closer to time to check it out again and go from there. I’m VERY anxious about this. And hoping that it doesn’t get too big because I am TERRIFIED of the c-word.
