{ 38 weeks...almost there!!! }

please ignore the dirty mirror

How far along: 38 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain: 21 pounds
Maternity clothes? Not technically but I have been needing to wear shirts that I know are longer. Making sure the bottom of my stomach is covered is a constant throughout the day task. And I'm limited on my pants for sure. For work it's the stretchiest pants/capris I have for sure. Mostly capris because most pants are too uncomfortable when I sit down. And once in awhile a skirt or two.
Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Sleep? What is sleep? j/k Trying to get to bed earlier but even that's been tricky. Turning over is a lot more of a workout lately and I don't feel like I can stay asleep nearly as long as I could say a few months ago. It's like my body can't handle staying in the same position for very long and then when I need to turn over I am fully conscious of it.
Best moment this week: Seeing Jordan get more involved with getting ready for the baby. It makes me so much more excited to see some excitement from him : )

Miss Anything? Having more energy. I'm getting worried about having things ready for this baby but am seriously lacking energy and even some motivation to get it all done in time. Ugh! Rather frustrating! There needs to be another me for the next 3 weeks at least!

Movement: He's still a little squirmer, although within the last few days it's slowed down some. It isn't quite as often throughout the day or as much during his usual "active time." I wonder if he's as ready to get out of there as I am?

Food cravings: Fruits and sweets mostly still but I think my "cravings" have sort of been settling down. Once in awhile I'll really want some huckleberry ice cream, other times chips or something salty sounds better, then I'll really want a brownie. And yes that's how I often was before I was pregnant : )
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks contractions still and those have gotten stronger and more frequent. Friday I was getting ready for work and had a slight, pretty dull pain going along the bottom of my belly starting more on my sides that lasted a couple seconds but I haven't felt that since then. Randomly I've felt little twinges that are maybe 2 seconds but there hasn't been any consistency to those either.
Belly Button in or out? Pretty flat but the bottom is starting to poke out a little bit.
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: I am getting so anxious it's ridiculous! I'm still tired, nervous, and excited but the anxiousness in me is radiating out of me like none other. I'm anxious for my little guy to finally get here. But I have more anxiety building up about whether or not I can get everything on my list done and ready before he gets here?! And it's a rather long list. Everything from things to finish the nursery to all the cleaning I want to get done before to other projects around the house and even yard I want to have done and out of the way before this guy finally gets here. Ugh! I'm on the verge of freaking out about this darn list!
Looking forward to: My little guy finally getting here of course! I'm so anxious about so many things but him finally being here in my arms puts a huge grin across my face and makes all the other things I have on my mind seem completely insignificant. 2 more weeks! Ah I can't believe it!
