38 Weeks




How far along? 38 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: 33 lbs  (+2 lbs this week.) 
Maternity clothes? Look at me. I'm massive. Some of my maternity shirts are even getting too short.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I have been sleeping well but it is hard to get comfortable. Brooks rides up in the middle of the night and I have to sleep sitting straight up at times because he is under my ribs.
Best moment this week: We bought a new camera! It's just a point and shoot, but I'm still excited. I don't know how much I would use a fancy one. I'm not very good at remembering to take pictures. (Hopefully this will change once the little guy arrives.) I broke my old digital camera and have been using my dads since this summer. We also had a great and low key Thanksgiving at the house and are about 75% of the way decorated for Christmas. (Plus, the Gators beat the Seminoles, which always makes everything better!!)
Movement: He was pretty excited about the football game and was kicking away! (Maybe he heard how much we were screaming!)
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Miss anything? Alcoholic beverages of all types. I am so tired of water!! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: No!! (I have been really lucky with this)
Symptoms: Heartburn-I'm not sure if I took any Tums this week!  Exhaustion-Definitely still here!
Gender: It's a boy!!! Brooks Michael!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? An outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Running/Walking? No, but I am ready to get back into it once he arrives! I hope he likes the stroller! I already have our path picked out. (And they are almost finished building a Target where I would park, so I am looking forward to cooling down in there after our runs!!)
Looking forward to: 10 DAYS!! I can't wait to meet the little guy!

37 Weeks




How far along? 37 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: 31 lbs  (+0 lbs this week.) 
Maternity clothes? I'm huge...pants are a must. I still have a couple of shirts I can fit into, but it's mostly maternity.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I have been getting tired earlier and mostly staying asleep except for bathroom breaks.
Best moment this week: The nursery is pretty much finished! I have one wall that I am still decorating  and still waiting on the glider, but other than that it's just waiting on Brooks!
Movement: I know movement is supposed to slow down because there isn't as much room, but he is still moving away!
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Miss anything? Sleeping on my back! I am so tired of sleeping on my sides!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No!! (I have been really lucky with this)
Symptoms: Heartburn-Getting better!  Exhaustion-I think this is here to stay! I've been ready for bed at about 8 every night this week. 
Gender: It's a boy!!! Brooks Michael!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? An outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Running/Walking? I've decided that it's probably best for me not to walk for the next couple of weeks. I am not ready for him to come yet! (I have everything planned out and it would change everything....I know this is probably the last time I am going to be able to have everything planned!)
Looking forward to: Meeting our little man. It is so close now! Only 2 1/2 weeks until D-day!!

36 Weeks




How far along? 36 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: 31 lbs  (+2 lbs this week.) 
Maternity clothes? I've found a couple of shirts in my closet that I can still fit into, but pants are a must!!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I had a couple of nights this week where it was difficult to fall back asleep after bathroom breaks, but otherwise it's been good.
Best moment this week: I got to see our maternity photos this week! I should have them by Friday to share with y'all!
Movement: Lots! I'm sure he is running out of room in there. My stomach is huge and there is not much room for it to grow!
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Miss anything? Sleeping on my back!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No!! (I have been really lucky with this)
Symptoms: Heartburn-Much better this week. I think I only had to take Tums 2 nights.  Exhaustion-I think this is here to stay!
Gender: It's a boy!!! Brooks Michael!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? An outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Running/Walking? Still being lazy!
Looking forward to: Meeting our little man. It is so close now!

He is still breech and I decided against doing the version procedure. So, we are scheduled to meet the little guy via c-section on December 5th!

35 Weeks




How far along? 35 weeks 
Total weight gain/loss: 29 lbs  (0 lbs this week.) 
Maternity clothes? A must!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Except for the frequent bathroom breaks, sleeping well! (It is getting more and more difficult to get out of bed at night to go to the bathroom!)
Best moment this week: We had a shower at Mike's work this work this week. They were so sweet and Brooks got lots of cute stuff! 
Movement: Moving away, but still has not flipped.
Food cravings: Nothing really.
Miss anything? Sleeping on my back. I'm getting tired of sleeping on my sides all the time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No!! (I have been really lucky with this)
Symptoms: Heartburn-Pretty much a daily occurrence Exhaustion-Yawns are still coming around 2 every day.
Gender: It's a boy!!! Brooks Michael!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? An outie.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Running/Walking? Still being lazy!
Looking forward to: My doctors appointment on Thursday! I get to have an ultrasound (even if it's a short one) to see if he is still breech, which I'm pretty sure he is. 

I think I've decided that I'm not going to try the version. It sounds painful and there is a chance that it won't work. That means when I post next week I will know when this little one will be here! Crazy!!
