Week 38
Cool Facts:
- Baby may have about an inch or so of hair already.
- She's slowly shedding that white goo on the skin (called vernix caseosa) but you might see some of it at birth.

How I feel about being pregnant: This week has had its ups and downs. BIG TIME! Most the time I am ok....Here recently, I have had TONS of back pain and upper abdomen pain. The Dr. said its my muscles in my chest stretching again....great! More STRETCHING! haha. It's never ending at this point. Mackenzie is sitting on the darn nerve again and I limp when I walk...its kind of funny but it hurts most of the time! When Brandon sees me walking he always says "teach me how to waddle...teach me how to waddle." haha.
Symptoms: heartburn...
back aches...
shortness of breath...
waddle waddle waddle...
hormones raging again
no sleep...
peeing every 30 minutes...
swollen legs and fingers some days...
Stretch marks: Gotta love em :) She'll never let me forget this pregnancy!
Food Cravings: Can't say I crave anything besides my waffles and coffee....but I think that is more routine than anything! At the beginning of the week I was starving like Marvin all day.....since yesterday, I haven't really been hungry that much.
Something I've done to prepare for baby: Watched tv....lots of tv...laid on the couch...went to the doctor...oh and we got our carpets steam cleaned! that's about it!
Funny moment: When we were at the doctors office....Brandon comes with me now just in case! So, the doctor was talking about how most first pregnancies you don't really go early and in fact most go late...especially when you have had an easy pregnancy without worries...So, I was expecting to not be dilated at all...haha...Brandon about fell into the corner of the room when he said I was 3cm! I found it quite hysterical! Now of course, he is being a man and completely inpatient....can you tell?!
What I miss: Wine...sleep...wine...not peeing all the time...being able to get outta bed without rolling or huffing...clothes that fit or are even tight haha....
What I'm looking forward to: Seeing our baby girl for the first time!
Best Moment of the Week: Let's just say that God has been extremely good to my family the past two weeks. Especially this week. Lots of prayers answered and lots of faith restored...I always knew God had a plan for us...I just didn't think it would play out this way! But its his way and everything happens for a reason...
Least Favorite Moment of the Week: Let's just say every single night when I can't sleep....It's getting worse and I'm just trying to accept the fact that I won't be sleeping much the next few months!
Thank you for everyone that has kept my family in your prayers! We truly appreciate it! We are very blessed to have the family and friends that we do in our lives.
For now...we get to just wait....and if she's anything like her mother, she will stay in there as long as possible just to make people go CrAzY!!!!
