38 Weeks

Well, last week was full term, and now this is just another week...number thirty-eight to be exact. Thirty-eight, and counting...can my belly possibly get any bigger?! I guess we'll see, haha. :) How far along: 38 weeks

Size of Baby: my ultrasound at 36 weeks 6 days measured Miss Emmeline to be 7lbs., so she is probably at least 8 lbs. by now...Addison was born at 7lb 4 oz...oh dear. :)

Maternity Clothes: I strongly dislike getting dressed in the mornings! But, my mom got me this super cute, fun necklace to wear with my not so attractive clothes to make them cuter and I think more than anything, make me feel better. :)

Gender: don't worry, Miss Emmeline Kate is still our little girl.

Movement: someone has forgotten to inform our little Emmeline that she is out of room, she just keeps kicking and moving like crazy, but at least she is in the correct position for delivery - if she doesn't wiggle her way out of it!

Food Cravings: lime ice cream bars (made with real lime juice) - they are phenomenal, you should try them!

Food Aversions: hmmm...there's got to be something that doesn't sound good...

What I Miss: my lap, bending over, being able to stand close enough to the sink without having to bend to do dishes, Addison fitting comfortably in my lap, clothes fitting comfortably (I'm just talking about maternity clothes, I'm not even thinking about regular clothes yet)

Sleep: my nap from about 2-3 everyday is about the best sleep I get

Symtpoms: reflux, yuck! and crazy emotions

Best Moment this Week: some sweet, sweet friends threw me a little baby shower to celebrate Emmeline. It was so wonderful and so much fun to celebrate all God has done in the last 38 weeks.

What I am Looking Forward to: going into labor...honestly, I can't wait. I didn't get to go into labor naturally with Addison and I am truly hoping that I get to this time. If you want to pray that with me, that would be great. :) Also, I'm looking forward to getting to see my sisters who are coming when Emmeline comes (or shortly after), and getting to see my brother who will be home from Hungary on my due date! But MOSTLY, I'm looking forward to meeting, holding, and loving on my sweet baby girl, Emmeline Kate. :)

Maybe this will be my last pregnancy update?? In the, oh so frustrating, words of my wonderful doctor, "I guess we'll see, won't we?" ;)
