how far along? 38 weeks
how big is baby? 19.75 in, 6.8 lb [the size of a leek]
belly button in or out? out/ slowly going back to flat as my tummy keeps stretching bigger!
sleep? still the same. not a ton of it during the night, but I take like two naps during the day to make up for it!
craving? FRUIT! apples. pears. bananas. all of it.
feeling? ready. these last couple of weeks are dragging on!
gender? GIRL! (however, still having the occasional "its a boy" dreams...
movement? movement slows way down these last couple of weeks. kind of sad. I feel like it's going to be the ONE thing I miss about being pregnant is feeling her wiggling inside. She is most active these days at night. You know, when I'm trying to sleep. :)
showing? it's getting hilarious how big I am..let's be honest. oh- and nothing fits anymore but I refuse to buy new/bigger clothes. It's the final countdown.
best moment of the week? I'M A 2! whoo hoo! horray for continual progression! Still 80% effaced, and still having mild contractions. Will she be early??
looking forward to? my mama getting here!!! We are trying to talk her into moving her flight to an earlier date, just because we are nervous that she is going to miss it with how well I've been progressing! She is scheduled to come on the 22nd, along with my dad who will be here in town for business and hopefully around when baby time happens! Josh and I keep talking about how our anxiety levels will go way down once she is here and can tell us what the heck we are doing! haha So fingers crossed she comes soon!
how far along? 37 weeks (as of today I have 17 more days! AH.)
how big is baby? 19.25 in, 6.3 lb [the size of a swiss chard]
belly button in or out? still out, but almost going flat again. My poor skin is just getting so tight! A couple more weeks...I can do this!
sleep? nonexistent. I am soo tired. I feel like I have so much to get done, but all I want to do is sleep. Hoping for better sleep during the night, and more energy for next week!
craving? still a fruity smoothy of sorts. I really need to find a Jamba Juice.
feeling? this week I have been pretty uncomfortable. I think my contractions are coming more often and getting stronger. Still nothing regular enough to get excited about..but things are definitely happening. Also feeling anxiety. Panic mode to the MAX. I can't believe we will have a baby here with us in under 20 days!!!!
gender? GIRL
movement? movement is still happening..mostly after I eat something. She is also starting this new thing where she pushes down on my cervix. Let me tell you..it feels AWESOME! [sarcasm..it kills] I think she's ready to come out!
showing? When I took this weeks bump update picture, all I could think of was....I look like I ate a watermelon whole. I'm ginormous. Tick tock..tick tock.
best moment of the week? My dr. apt! I made progress in one week! I am dilated to a ONE, and 80% effaced! [sorry if the details are TMI for you..remember I'm using this as a journal to remember everything so these next couple of posts are going to have details. Just a heads up! ;)] My dr. was impressed of my progress in just a week. It's probably all the walking we did in Chicago! I know it's not much to just be a one...but progress is progress! I was excited. And the 80% effaced freaked me out and made me feel like I had to keep my legs crossed all week so she wouldn't fall out. ;) It could only be so easy. haha!
looking forward to? My dr. apt on Monday. Hoping for more good news and more progress! Josh and I have also been getting everything packed up and ready just in case she decides to arrive early..so we will be working on that some more this coming week! Can't believe it's coming so soon! ahh!

best moment of the week? going to Chicago and being with my whole family. We had so much fun being all together! I loved every moment of it!
