Happy 37th week of pregnancy!
Every day we get closer & closer to meeting baby Hadley!
Somehow I have managed to make it this far without getting all the important things done.
Hints having a mile long to-do list that grows daily.
This month is super busy as it is and now I have daily tasks that multiply by the minute.
I'll get them done though. & Joseph is helping which is great.
There just aren't enough hours in the day...
& there isn't enough energy in this pregnant woman.
But we'll make it! & it'll all be worth it!
How far along? 37 Weeks
Total weight gain: 38 pounds
Sleep: I'm in bed by 9:00 & passed out by like 9:30. Exhausted is an understatement.
Best moment(s) this week: Hearing my baby's strong heart beat at our appointment. & celebrating baby girl at the Sprinkle my bestie Kally hosted for us over the weekend!
Miss anything?: There is a long list. Yes, I still want the wine. But more than that I want to be able to get dressed with out being winded after. I miss being able to pick things up without having to position myself a certain way to get around the baby belly. Lol - not too much longer though.
Movement: She's a busy little girl in there. She's always moving!
Best thing about this pregnancy: Adding to our family! Giving Caroline a little sister & making her a big sister. Changing the family dynamic -- i think i've said all of this already :) <-- not changing it. That's from last week! :) still holds true.
Worst thing about this pregnancy: The weeks are getting slower now - somehow. I still find myself extremely busy and we have events each weekend until our baby arrives but somehow i find myself saying - wait, i'm still 36 weeks? wait, i just hit the 37 week mark? hmm.
Food cravings: Food of the week - BLTs. I want them for lunch & dinner. & I've had them for dinner every night this week -- poor Joseph. I've got to add some variety for him.
Labor Signs: Minor contractions. Nothing regular. But they've started.
Belly Button in or out? Flat. Waiting for it to pop out any day now.
Last time you cried over something ridiculous: Meltdown free week. Woohoo.
What I am looking forward to: Our next doctor's appointment is Wednesday. & then this weekend we are celebrating Caroline's 2nd birthday with a birthday party! [her birthday isn't until the 23rd.. but just incase Haddie comes early, we want to make sure we get to celebrate baby C.]
Weekly Wisdom: When you start to get upset, and you will because you're in crunch time and stressed out and emotional to the max, pause and walk away for a minute, put it out of your mind for a few minutes and then come back to the situation. If it's still worth getting upset about then OK, but chances are it's not. & there is no sense in getting yourself all worked up!
