38 weeks!

*38 weeks, holding my two boys!*

How Far Along?  38 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Yep!

Sleep? Good, but feeling more tired than before.

Best Moment of the Week? Swimming two days in a row!

Movement? Yes! Trying to remember to do kick counts!

What I miss? Nothing, but I am trying to enjoy these last days of having a little life growing inside of me instead of looking to the future. This is (likely) my last pregnancy so I have to remind myself that even though I am more uncomfortable, I have to delight in these little wiggles and kicks!

Symptoms: Still puffy feet, and limbs falling asleep at night :-) More Charley Horses at night, which is NOT so fun!

What I’m looking forward to? A four day weekend with Julian, a date night, and just enjoying these last peaceful days as a family of 3. 

Milestones: Baby has a nice and firm grasp. Also, we are GBS negative! Praise God that I won't have to have an antibiotic IV during labor!

Emotions: Excited and a little nervous, but trying to be focused on the NOW, and on the joy of pregnancy and our little family.

How Far Along?  37 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Of course

Sleep? Really good, although I wake up tired!

Best Moment of the Week? We had our home visit from Claudia, our birth assistant. It was great to see her, and go over the details for the birth! It also was a little crazy to think that it will happen very soon. Praying for a smooth and quick birth!!! We also had a check at our (now weekly) midwife appointment and I am already 1 cm dilated. Yay!

Movement? Yes, little wiggles - our little guy is running out of room! 

What I miss? I am starting to miss moving around comfortably, and thinking about how it will feel to be more active again!

Symptoms: My feet are nice and puffy, and my back often is sore. I have to remember to do back stretches and to relax a little more often.

What I’m looking forward to? Taking some more maternity pictures - we took a few, but I want to get some professional (JC Penney) pics taken so we have really nice shots!

Milestones: Baby is finishing up some more brain and lung development to be ready for delivery!

Emotions: Excited and anxious about the delivery!
