Baby Shower


 
I wanted to share a few of the pictures from the shower (there are more pictures posted on my facebook account). Tori (a friend for 20+ years) and Ronette (my Sister in Law) put this together for us. They put so much thought into the shower and made this day extra special. Every detail was just perfect!
 
 

38 Weeks and 6 Days

                                          (Picture taken around 30 Weeks)

How far along? 39 weeks tomorrow! I reeeally would love it if Adler made an appearance this week!

Total weight gain: -14lbs! I am down 14lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I cannot complain ;)

Maternity clothes: I have bought very few maternity clothes during the pregnancy. Sweat pants and dresses have been my best friend the last trimester.

Stretch marks: I have some stretch marks on the right side of my stomach. This seems to be the area he stays in the most. I purchased Mama Mia body butter early on and did not seem to help.

Sleep: Sleep used to be one of my favorite things. These days it is hard to get comfortable to fall asleep and once I do, I wake up to go to the bathroom. The trips to the bathroom can range from every 5 minutes to every hour. I am sure most of you women can relate ;)

Miss anything? Not really!

Movement: They tell you towards the end movements decrease but you should at LEAST 10 movements a day. Little man can have 10 movements in an hour. He is an active little fellow.

Food cravings: I have not had any cravings throughout the pregnancy. Certain things do sound better than others but I have not had any mad dashes to the store in the middle of the night... Ha!

Anything making you queasy or sick? Brushing my teeth and Pizza!

Labor signs: Braxton Hicks Contractions have picked up over the past week. On Friday night, the contractions were so intense I decided to start timing them and they were 2 minutes apart for about 30 minutes and stopped. We went to the doctor today. I was so anxious to hear some good news. Unfortunately, he said my cervix was still closed. I CANNOT believe it! This little guy is taking his time. He clearly doesn't realize how ready his mommy and daddy are to meet him!!

Belly button in or out? In! Last week I thought it was starting to pop out but seems to be back to normal.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Meeting Adler...C'mon on already!!!
