35 weeks

Hard to believe that I am almost “Full term” and that this baby can come at any second. I was having awful Braxton hicks the other night and crying to Chad telling me that I wasn’t ready for all this again… A little late don’t you think?? Anyways I’m hoping we make it to at least September, I know that the total eclipse is on August 21^st and I sure hope I do not go into labor then!

This past weekend we were trying to pack the hospital bag and one of my dear friends got me a mini bottle of wine for Grady’s birthday that I haven’t been able to drink yet since I got pregnant and have been saving it but Chad asks me if we were going to pack it in the hospital bag. Essentials right? No honey I think we’ll just save that until we are home.

Wedding rings are still on and even though I have to soak my hand in ice cold water to pry them off I am determined to wear them up until the end.  I haven’t been having many cravings but a few weeks ago pick up a bag of Werther’s original Caramel Popcorn and now I cannot stop eating them. I grabbed an extra bag to take to the hospital, we’ll see if it actually makes it. Oh and graham crackers with peanut butter and chocolate chips, but that’s been my go to snack for years so I don’t know if that counts. I only have about 5 weeks left and I am counting down the days until I can wear normal clothes, maternity clothes are even getting tight on me since I am carrying her so low.

I’ve always thought it was comical when people say to sleep while you can before the baby comes. Apparently they have never been pregnant. Towards the end of your pregnancy sleep is sacred and hard to come by. You are very uncomfortable all the time even when you sleep.  

You can tell that she is starting to run out of room, the kicks have turned into more of just moving her butt to try and get comfortable. She is still loving my right side and like to dig her little feet into my side! She's measuring at 6 lbs and 1 day past my due date, lets just hope she comes a little before my due date.
