36 weeks! WOW 4 weeks or less to go!

I do not think I can get any bigger!

We had our 36 week Doctor's appointment yesterday. Another internal...and it still hurt. I am 2cm dilated so hooray for progression. But was a huge reality check for me. Doctor and us decided if I dilate to 3cm before the 39th week, he will go ahead and induce on the 39th week. If she does not make her appearance before then. That would be July 20th!

I am totally for that!!! It has been one of the hottest summer's in GA! I am also so tired. I know that the tiredness is only starting but knowing the end is in sight is very exciting.

Okay...the survey...
How far along? 36 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: About 37 pounds.
Maternity clothes? yes.. I am ready to give them up!
Stretch marks? yes 6 of them. They started out little...but now...they are a little long. Darn those evil things!
Sleep: Oh heck...I know at some point during the night, I close my eyes. But when I wake up, I'm just as tired, if not more. Between the bathroom runs, and trying to get comfortable, ...I sleep the best I can and when I can.
Best moment this week: Knowing the end is coming!!!!
Movement: All the time. Somedays way more than others.
Food cravings: Anything really. But sweets and Orange Juice are still number 1 on my list.
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks all the time now. But it is entirely okay!
Belly Button in or out? Still in! Shallow, but in! (needs to stay that way. I have a bet with Mich that I plan on winning!
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach, my old clothes and being able to breathe normally!
What I am looking forward to: making it to July 20th!!!
Weekly Wisdom: SLOW DOWN! and not rush it. But I need to listen to these words!

The nursery is COMPLETE!

So I thought I would post photos the nursery 100% complete. We are so happy with it and how it turned out. Now we just have to have her. Then she can enjoy it.
Okay so here is the 306 degree shots.
























































































35 Weeks! Lots to update

Not sure but looking at the photos...I seem to be looking more and more tired with each week.

But here we are at 35 weeks. We started going weekly to the doctor now. I had my first internal done on Monday. That was really eye popping. Needless to say, Lily Anne is doing okay heart beat was still good. I am currently about 1 to 1.5 cm dilated, which to me means nothing, because I can sit that way for weeks. I have been having a good amount of Braxton Hick contractions...but they are really not that bad.

She has been doing some moving...but definitely running out of room. She has been making sleep a chore with the up and down to bathroom and kicking. But I am SO not going to complain. I love feeling her move. I think this has been the best part ..having her all to myself.

We completed our birthing classes on Monday night as well. We got to tour the birthing center and mother/infant rooms. I still do not think I am 100% ready for what is coming in the next several weeks. I am getting nervous but I am so ready to hold and snuggle with her. I think Mich is ready to hold her.

34 Weeks!

34 weeks.... okay so this is not my best photo...but I am 34 weeks and definitely feeling it 100%.

Although, we both are very exctied about next month...I am getting more and more nervous. I am beginning to wonder are we really ready for all that it fixing to happen. I am letting the thoughts in my head leave as soon as they get there.

Last night we had our 2nd Birthing Class. We worked more on the relaxation and breathing and watched a vidoe on birth and its stages along with pain management. For those of you out there do not know me ....DRUGS AT THE FIRST MOMENT AVAILABLE!!! I am not even going to try the nautral thing. Good luck to all those who do. But I am just not one for pain!


Lily Anne has been quite the active one lately. Sometimes I think she is trying to get out or escape then others I think she is just paying me back for spicy food.


So hip apin from last week has left me for a little while. Although, in return I now have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. But I would take anything to not have that hip pain. That was horrible.

33 Weeks....only 7 weeks to go!

33 weeks.... really. I feel ready but not ready!

We started our birthing classes this week. (actually last night). Mich and I know it is a boring class but we thought it would give maybe one good tip. We have two more classes to go...however, I think I laughed more last night thatn I have in a long time.

First, Me and Mich can not sit across from one another and practice breathing with out laughing! Horrible.

Second, we saw exactly....what 10cm means!! I was totally not using my brain! But 10cm is HUGE!!!!

So, the non sleeping, nasal congestion, and hip pain is still bothering every night. But I am just dealing with the best I can.

Okay so it is has been a few weeks.....
How far along? 33 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: About 30 pounds.
Maternity clothes? wearing since the 2nd tri. But I think I am through ordering or buying anymore. (crossing my fingers)
Stretch marks? I found my first few last week. But I have been globbing the lotion on several time a day now. Hopefully not to many more will show up.
Sleep: I know at some point during the night, I close my eyes. But when I wake up, I'm just as tired, if not more. Between the bathroom runs, trying to get comfortable, trying to breathe....I sleep the best I can.
Best moment this week: I guess starting the birthing classes....means we are getting somewhere.
Movement: All the time. Somedays way more than others.
Food cravings: Anything really. But sweets and Orange Juice are still number 1 on my list.
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: Spreading hips count. No nesting or anything else.
Belly Button in or out? Still in! Shallow, but in! (needs to stay that way. I have a bet with Mich that I plan on winning!
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach, my old clothes and being able to breathe normally!
What I am looking forward to: making it through June. I am so ready for July!
Weekly Wisdom: SLOW DOWN! and not rush it. But I need to listen to these words!

Hip PAIN!!!

Oh how they hurt! I had the worst night of sleep ever! No pillow in the world would or did make it better. I feel sorry for Mich. (Although he said he did not rememebr me tossing and turning all night.)

To make it worse, I am congested!

32 weeks

<---so tired at 32 weeks! Found my first couple of stretch makes.

(I was doing so well....Then the things appeared out of no where!) WAIT!!! PLEASE!!!!

Although, 32 weeks is along way, I feel the next 6 to 8 are going to be even longer! Mich and I are both getting so excited about her coming soon.

But my big news of the week..... drum roll...
I can say to people when they ask when are you due... "next month" I am so proud of that! But it still turns my stomach everytime.

Lily Anne has definitely got the hiccups down pat. She has them regularly now. Somedays they are cute and make feel we are still in this. Others, I am like okay...this is episode # what? I have tried to figure out if it is something I am eating or drinking. (or even doing) But nothing is the same.

We have got all the clothes washed and put away and put all the items we got at the shower together. It is awesome!

Only need a few more things off the registry then we are pretty much set and ready to go.

The weather in Georgia has turned ugly! Total HEAT ...which makes it so much HOTTER to me than normal. Plus, I think my hips are catching up with all that is going on....they hurt so bad now.

So at 32 weeks...I totally feel pregnant! Few stretch marks, hot, hip hurt day and night. Oh boy! Can I please have a little cheese with my WHINING!


Something fun....yes this is on shirt (pregnancy) that I still can wear. Looking at my growth!
