**So the title doesn't have anything to do with my size this week, nor could we take the weekly picture. Life is hectic these days! "We Built This City" is one of baby boys favorite songs (we are assuming, judging by his crazy dancing when it comes on...a true rocker at heart already!)...and that's how we feel this week; like we are buidling everything in preparation of what is soon to come!**
How far along?: 34 weeks, 5 days
Maternity clothes: Whatever is comfortable this week. Feeling very large!
Stretch marks: Rocking them. :/
Sleep: On and off, not the greatest I've had...but not the worst either
Best moment this week: Welcoming sweet baby Harper into the world! We are so thrilled to be an Aunt and Uncle again, and she has already stolen our hearts. It also brought on a huge sense of reality...ours will be coming soon. We spent the weekend getting things ready to go, installed the carseat and finished some stuff around the house. Still a lot to cross off our to-do list, but nothing crucial.
Miss Anything: Being able to go-go-go without killing my body or having to stop and rest because of swelling; family of course, more than ever; a clear nasal passage (thank you Fall allergies!); spending time wiht my husband without talking or thinking about all things baby (selfish, I know...but true).
Movement: We joke that he does pull-ups with his cord in there, because my stomach is constantly morphing!
Symptoms: Swelling; Emotional swings; Anxiety; Sense of urgency; Pressure
Food cravings: The usual...and pumpkin spice lattes. I LOVE fall!
Anything making you queasy or sick: The usual.
Labor Signs: Well....TMI for some, but we're pretty sure I lost my plug. Have to go to the doctor to confirm. Hello stage one...BRING IT!
Belly Button in or out?: Mostly out, or flat.
Wedding rings on or off: Off :(
General Mood: Happy; Busy; Anxious; Sleepy
Best advice this week: To get ready. We shared with some of our friends that stage one has probably begun...since they have had children, they advised us and warned us that it could be days...or it could be weeks. Either way, we need to be ready! Since then, Daniel has made sure both cars are fully gassed up at all times, the car seat is installed, hospital bags are almost packed, and the nursery is getting finished.
Worst advice this week: None really.
Exercise: Walking when I can, and stretching.
Looking forward to: Getting things done next week and taking final inventory of what is left to be accomplished.
