We are at the end of our 37th week of pregnancy. This means we could go at any time. I went into labor with Trent at 38 weeks, 5 days. We are so excited and READY for baby boy #2!
I don't think I can think of anything else to clean (except for the normal everyday cleaning like dishes, vacumming, laundry). Everything else has been done. Isn't it crazy what the nesting phase does to your brain? Maybe it doesn't do this to every pregnant women but, for THIS CRAZY PREGNANT LADY, nesting is an understatement and what nesting entails turns into all of these ridiculous things that "have to get done and have to get clean" in order for the baby to come. Things that, under normal non-pregnant situations, wouldn't matter what-so-ever! Just yesterday I was telling Randy, "the baby can come now that the rug was professionally cleaned" and "please clean the tops of every fan in the house for the baby". His response is always "you'r nuts...the baby doesn't care...ok give me the rag" haha. He knows to just do it!
I feel the normal 9 month uncomfortableness these days, but other than that I feel very good. My energy is slowing down now. I'm thankful we got all of the crazy projects out of the way because lately we've been able to "relax", do fun things with Trent, and "wait" for our baby to arrive.
I am still working, although my job allows me to work from home quite frequently which I am forever grateful.
I'm starting to get a little anxious just because we're at the point where baby could come any second and the not knowing when is such an array of anxious/exciting emotions. I have a feeling he'll come the week before my due date week. My EDD is November 24th which is a Monday so we'll see. He'll come when he's ready and I would never rush it. But, it would be nice if he came before Thanksgiving :)
How far along? 37 weeks
Total weight gain: Approx 33 lbs. Basically the exact same amount as I did with Trent. Hopefully it will come off just as fast...
Maternity clothes? Yep
Stretch marks? Just a couple
Sleep: Sleep is ok. I've started waking up "wide awake" in the middle of the night. I think it is the excitement of what's to come.

Miss Anything? No
Movement: Baby loves to move a bunch at night. Movements are slowing down as baby is getting lower. He finally moved into a great position for labor. He had been face up for weeks but I wasn't worried too much about it. Weekly chiropractic adjustments have assured me that my body is in good alignment for birth and helped position the baby appropriately.
Food cravings: Not craving anything specific but I have been in a major baking mode lately. This is one perk to being pregnant this time of year...the upcoming holidays make it all so exciting. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be extra special this year.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Gender: BOY
Labor Signs: Not really...I can just tell we're getting close.
Symptoms: Feeling 49 weeks pregnant.
Belly Button in or out? Very very out.
Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy
Looking forward to: THE BIG DAY!!
