Is It Too Early To Put On Pajamas?

The last few weeks have been a massive blur- where did they go?  We've been trying to conquer our TO DO list while still making plenty of time for child-less fun.

Let’s see, we’ve done everything from concerts to breastfeeding classes!

Here’s a cute shot of James showing them how it’s done.

It seems like the big chores are finally done and now we can relax a little bit and enjoy our time together before baby.

On a different note, I’m starting to feel very weird about leaving work for so long.   I suppose it is natural to worry a little about that.  I’ve tried to make very realistic goals for myself for each of my remaining weeks.  It is just crazy to think about being away from this place.

Enough about work, now for the update:

How far along? 37 Weeks

How big is baby? As big as a baby!  Full term folks!

Maternity clothes?   Even my maternity clothes feel small.

Sleep: Falling asleep is easy.  I wake up a few times per night to use the bathroom.  Good practice for feedings, right?

Best moment this week:  It feels so good to scratch things off our TO DO list.  Getting the car seat checked by the fire department feels really nice!  James also put together our stroller and we started getting the hospital bag ready.

Movement: Baby loves to wiggle around at night

Food cravings: Blackberries

Food Aversions: Still not a fan of peppers

Gender: ??

Pregnancy Symptoms: SWOLLEN feet.  If I’m on my feet even just a little too much—they double in size.  I can’t even explain how crazy it is.

 

Belly Button in or out?  In. I’m thinking it will be in the whole time.  I have pretty deep belly button though.  Is that TMI?

What I miss:  Picking things up off the ground with ease

What I am looking forward to: My office is throwing a baby shower next week—I am so lucky to work with such sweet people!  

Upcoming appointments/events:  My next appointment is next Friday.  I am meeting one of the last doctors in the practice, which makes me feel good! I want to meet them all before delivery because you never know who will be on call.

Weekly Wisdom:  Stay off your feet!

Milestones:  Last Mother’s Day as a non-mom!  James covered his bases and wrote me a nice card and made a big candy purchase.  Good job babe!

 

Bump Picture: 

I thought James was just getting a picture of Brighton in this last one, so I wasn't smiling.  It cracked me up, so I thought I'd share:
