possible last survey as a preggy


How far along? 38 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: scale at home seems much nicer than the one at the doctors office...30-35 at home, but 35-40 at the doc 
Maternity clothes? everything still fits well but as we enter fall I am pretty sure that after baby arrives i will still have to get more maternity clothes...jeans especially. not buying "normal" clothes until later.
Stretch marks? no belly stretchies but my little boobies have a few which dont make me smile but its just a little so i feel blessed.
Sleep: waking up nightly to pee. my knees, hips and entire pelvic bone pop before i completely exit the bed. my left hand has been overly achy for the past 3 weeks and after sleeping through the night its aches, some times to the point of tears. the co-sleeper is next to the bed now and i cant help but imagine that sweet babe being there soon, but its still surreal. 
Best moment this week:  again, since my last post there has been many "best moments" that i just must talk about. Baby Shower #2 was put together by the best friends a girl could ever ask for! Julia, Angela, Truly, Heidi, Kendall, and Jess put in a lot of hard work to make my shower so personal and special. so grateful! My Keem and her husband came all the way from SC to celebrate and it meant so much to me and Josh that they came! Afterwards we had a party at our house and everyone who came enjoyed great food and beer. My mom and dad, and close friends from richmond came down (in the crazy traffic) to celebrate, and I felt so honored. Josh and I spent a Saturday getting the rest of our baby needs and wants and the nursery is coming together, after more than several rearranging moments. Josh and I also went for a walk at Sea Shore State Park and not only was the day perfect but spending time together was wonderful.  
Have you told family and friends: nope
Miss Anything? beer. been thinking about pumpkin ale a lot. 
Movement: lots and lots of feet, knees, elbows, and butts pushing on me and my ribs, hips, and more at all times of day and night. sometimes it can be a little overwhelming but when i dont feel movement i get a little scared but mostly sad that Baby isnt trying to "hang out" with me. haha.
Food cravings: sweeeeeets. i want to eat them all. silly GD makes me think twice before eating them though. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope
Have you started to show yet: my belly is 38.5 inches round. 
Gender prediction: none because i dont want to set my heart on one and it be the other...so i stopped trying to guess. 
Labor Signs: YES, FINALLY!!! 25% effaced which is not as cool as dilated but it means things are moving along. I have been having some contractions but they are not at all regular. excited for labor to actually begin! 
Belly Button in or out? still in but just barely.
Wedding rings on or off? still off and it makes me so sad, daily. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: moody, moody, teary, teary, happy, happy, overwhelmed..all over the place really. 
Weekly Wisdom: Trusting God in everything is my sanity.  
Looking forward to: BABY'S ARRIVAL! (as scary as that is i know that in my heart i am truly looking forward to the next stage in my life with my amazing husband and precious Baby!)
