How far along: 37 weeks, 21 days to go!
Size of baby: I have reached the size of a watermelon!
Maternity Clothes: I got a new winter coat that I won't be able to wear much longer!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Starting to dwindle, no more room!
What I miss: My energy, being able to sleep through the night.
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: Severe swelling and heartburn :(
Doctor's appointment went well. Her heart rate today was 150 and I haven't gained any weight so the low salt diet is still working it's magic. They still have me a week behind but she said that I'm considered full term at 37 weeks so we are getting ready to go! Today was my first exam and I was not dilated at all. I was actually hoping that I would be but no such luck. Maybe next week. Boy does that exam suck!
My husband just wants Little Miss to stay in there until next Tuesday. He wants to go hunting on Monday because he has never missed the opening day of deer season. That's all he is concerned about at this point! I'm still going to say December 7th, although I wouldn't mind meeting my Little Miss sooner!
I still have not been able to sleep a full night. I wake up a few times throughout the night because I have to pee or because I have heartburn or just because! It's very frustrating and it's probably the reason I'm so tired all of the time.
The nursery is almost done! The only thing left to do is the closet, which my husband wants to get done today. I'm so excited for it to be complete. If he finishes it today, we can put all of the great stuff we got from the shower on Sunday in there and get it out of our living room!
The shower was great! My Mom and best friend did a fantastic job! They had a few cute games, nothing overwhelming. They had a TON of food and the decorations were just adorable! We got so many adorable outfits. I don't think Little Miss will have to wear the same outfit for at least 3 months!
I didn't get to finish the scrapbook but I am going to keep working on it. I also didn't reveal the name. I just didn't want to. I only have a few weeks left. I think everyone else can wait!
The baby shower gave us a good start on what we need for Little Miss. Aside from the tons of clothing we got, we also got a stroller and car seat, diaper bag, playard, books, toys and diapers galore! We are so grateful for everyone who came and for all of the gifts we received!
Of course everyone forgot their cameras so I have no pictures from the shower. My husband's sister took some pictures so I will be able to get some from her at some point. As I'm putting clothes away, I'll try to take some pictures of some of the adorable outfits I got. My sister in law (Arlena) got Little Miss the cutest little outfit that has little pockets on the front of it like a hoody and they have ears! It's so cute!!!! I also got a picture frame that says Little Miss on it. That could not be more perfect!
We went ahead and ordered the dresser and changing table so that's on the way. Once we receive that, we will have more than enough room for all of the awesome stuff we got! I can't wait to put all of her stuff away and get everything organized for her arrival! We still have a lot of shopping to do for her but we will get it done.
I did take a lot of things that we didn't receive from the registry and give them to family members as a Christmas list. My husband and I don't need anything. We just need to make sure our Little Miss is all taken care of.
My Christmas shopping is just about done. I only have a few more items to buy and them it's time to wrap! I love to wrap Christmas presents. I love the cool wrapping paper and decorating with bows. And I love having presents under the tree! I decided to buy one or two higher priced items for everyone this year rather than a bunch of small things.
I don't have a baby bump picture this week because I hate my outfit today and I think I look terrible. Maybe tomorrow's outfit will be better and I can take a picture then!
That's all I have for now. As long as I don't go into labor, my next appointment is next Monday. Bryan will be hunting on Monday so he will not be with me for that appointment. Let's hope I'm not dilated or anything! He's only going to be a few minutes away so it won't be too bad.
