Bumpdate - 38 weeks

Image

38 weeks: Your baby, now as long as a leek, weighs nearly 7 pounds. (Length: more than 19 1/2 inches, head to heel.)

Maternity Clothes Maternity clothes and maxi dresses are my favorite right now. Also, loving some sweatshirts now that the weather is slowly cooling off at night.

Stretch Marks
I have a few around my middle were I took my insulin shots, I am hoping the Bio Oil and the Palmers will help, but at this point no big deal!

Movement
She still moves just not as much, but when she does she takes my breath away :)

Food cravings
No food cravings anymore, I am just wanting ice cold water!

Nausea, vomiting, or sickness
None. I'm SO grateful that i have not had any sickness and was not sick during the first trimester either

What I miss
Like I said last week, not really missing much, just looking forward to meeting our sweet baby and to start this journey called parenthood with our little family of 4!

Gender:
We are having a GIRL! :)

Best moment this week:
Still having great appointments, glad that we have a delivery date in the books, we will be going into the hospital Monday the 28th for cervical tape and then they will break my water on the 29th in the morning, so we are hoping for a baby by Tuesday night! We have also slowly narrowed our name list down to about 3, so we might have a name by the time she arrives! Woohoo! :)


Until next time! Macy was tired :) Obviously my apps are still not matching up, last week it showed baby was the size of a leek, but this week the baby center app shows a leek! Oh well :)

Bumpdate- 37 weeks

Image


37 weeks: Your baby is as lofty as a stalk of Swiss chard and weighs 6 1/3 pounds. (Length: a bit over 19 inches, head to heel.)

Maternity Clothes Maternity clothes and maxi dresses are my favorite right now. Also, loving some sweatshirts now that the weather is slowly cooling off at night.

Stretch Marks
I have a few around my middle were I took my insulin shots, I am hoping the Bio Oil and the Palmers will help, but at this point no big deal!

Movement
She is still pretty busy, but slowly getting more cramped in there!

Food cravings
No real food cravings anymore, but I am starting to notice I can't eat as much at meal times, less room in my tummy for food, so I have been breaking my meals into snacks

Nausea, vomiting, or sickness
None. I'm SO grateful that i have not had any sickness and was not sick during the first trimester either!

What I miss:
I do not really miss anything really, I am just ready to be able to bend over and tie my shoes and also not have sore feet, but I would not trade those things for being able to carry this baby!

Gender:
We are having a GIRL! :)

Best moment this week:
 Still doing great at our NST's, we have also been really trying to get everything done at home for baby girl, along with snuggling and spending time with Macy! WE also went to the pumpkin patch this weekend and got our 4 pumpkins, now we just have to find the time to carve them before we head to the hospital on the 28th!


Until next time!

Bumpdate - 36 weeks

Image


36 weeks: Your baby, almost 6 pounds and still packing on the pounds at a rate of about an ounce a day, is comparable to a Crenshaw melon in size. (Length: more than 18 1/2 inches, head to heel.)

Maternity Clothes Maternity clothes and maxi dresses are my favorite right now. Also, loving some sweatshirts now that the weather is slowly cooling off at night.

Stretch Marks
I have a few around my middle were I took my insulin shots, I am hoping the Bio Oil and the Palmers will help, but at this point no big deal!

Movement
She moves, but since she is head down now, I think she has less room to really kick, I do get a few kicks in my lungs that take my breath away :)

Food cravings
Still enjoying fruit and ice cream!

Nausea, vomiting, or sickness
None. I'm SO grateful that i have not had any sickness and was not sick during the first trimester either!

What I miss:
I am starting to really want a cold meat sandwich, Diet Soda and an adult beverage, so many great beers in the fall! The swelling has begun, so my feet are a little sore, but no complaints for this girl! with that being said I am missing my tennis shoes!

Gender:
We are having a GIRL! :)

Best moment this week:
 At my 36 week appointment and NST, I was having contractions the entire time during the NST, so Dr thinks she will be here sooner rather than later! He said he will give me an induction date after next Friday! Joe is thinking she will be here by the 17th, I am sticking with the 25th. Also, my A1C's have been great still sticking around 5.7 so I am so happy with that, I feel like I have a done a great job at managing my diabetes and feel really good about it!

We also had our maternity pictures taken this weekend and are very excited to get them back, patiently waiting for a sneak peak :)



Joe wanted in on the picture action this month as well!!

Until next time!

He is seriously the best husband around, I know all wives say that :) He has patient, he is loving, calm and can make me smile when i am having a bad day, he is so in love with Baby Adams already i can't imagine how my heart is going to handle all the love he is going to show her once she is here, he is also the best daddy our little Macy can have! I can't tell you how lucky and blessed i feel to be sharing my life with this man i get to call my husband! Here are a few pictures of him!

Happy Birthday, Macy, Baby Girl and I love you to the moon and back!







Until next time!

Bumpdate 35- weeks

Image

35 weeks: Your baby, now as hefty as a honeydew melon at 5 1/4 pounds, doesn't have much room to maneuver in your belly. (Length: more than 18 inches, head to heel.)

Maternity Clothes Maternity clothes and maxi dresses are my favorite right now. Also, loving some sweatshirts now that the weather is slowly cooling off at night.

Stretch Marks
I have a few around my middle were I took my insulin shots, I am hoping the Bio Oil and the Palmers will help, but at this point no big deal!

Movement
She still moves after I eat, she is also on the move when I go to bed at night and she has also been preparing me for early morning feedings :)

Food cravings
Still enjoying fruit and ice cream!

Nausea, vomiting, or sickness
None. I'm SO grateful that i have not had any sickness and was not sick during the first trimester either!

What I miss:
I am starting to really want a cold meat sandwich, Diet Soda and an adult beverage, so many great beers in the fall!

Gender:
We are having a GIRL! :)

Best moment this week:
 We had our size ultrasound this week, so we were very excited to see if we could see her face! But she is already head down and face back, so no good looks at her face, but she does have hair :) She is measuring right on track and we should have an induction date this week, unless she decides to come on her own!


Any suggestions on things we MUST have for after we come home from the hospital, I feel like we have what we need, but I am sure we are forgetting things!



Until next time!
