37 Weeks

How far along?

37 weeks!

Total weight gain? 

25-30 pounds.. yikes.

Maternity clothes?

Yes. Thank heavens for the D.I. and Trevor's closet.

Stretch marks? 

No! So lets keep it that way for the rest of the pregnancy please. :)

Sleep? 

Pretty bad. I sleep in way late and go to bed way late. I keep thinking I need to get into a better routine but then I remember my sleep routine is about to get a lot more messed up, so why try and change it now?

Best moment this week? 

Trevor and I got our temple recommends! Whoo! My mom took me to get my dress and everything else today. That was fun! My mom is the greatest. Also I got my membranes stripped at the doctors today and I am 75% effaced and dilated to a 1! So I'm progressing, slowly but surely.

Miss anything? 

Doing anything normal.

Movement?

She is already causing me to worry. She isn't moving nearly as much and it freaks me out! The doctors keep telling me everything is fine.. I guess she is probably lazy just like her mama. 

Food cravings? 

I'm not really craving anything.. I actually need to be better at actually eating! I have to remember I'm starving someone else when I don't eat! I've stayed the same weight for like 3 months! The doctors aren't worried about it though. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? 

Still only when I get nervous! That's normal though. 

Gender? 

Emma is a girl. I keep thinking what if they were wrong and she comes out a boy! That would be crazy!

Labor signs? 

I've had some contractions. Lots of pressure. Lots of braxton hicks. 

Symptoms? 

Just feeling like a big pregnant lady!

Belly button in or out? 

Oh it's definitely out now.. it's quite funny.

Wedding rings on or off?  

Totally off. Now I just look like I'm 16 and pregnant because I don't have a wedding ring!

Happy or moody most of the time? 

Happy Happy Happy.

Looking forward to? 

Going through the temple on Friday! I get to be sealed to my wonderful husband and baby Emma! I'm extremely nervous but extremely excited! Hopefully Emma will hold off for a few days.. You can do it, Emma!!

This week..

• Trevor and I sanded and painted this old dresser! It was in poor shape when we got it. Really weathered. Trevor did most of it and he did such an amazing job! Every time I pass Emma's room I peek in there and look at it. It's just so beautiful! We really enjoyed working on it and we are excited how it turned out, so we plan do a lot more work on other things.
• We are getting a few last minute things before Emma comes! I feel a little more prepared.. but I don't think I will ever feel totally prepared. 
• I'm so excited to go through the temple this Friday! It is going to be such an amazing experience! I can't wait to be sealed to Trevor and Emma (and our future children) for time and all eternity! I swear these past few weeks have gone by incredibly slow waiting for this to happen
