Here is the latest in the "bump update" department. I'm sorry none of the pics are very high quality. We are working on getting a better picture taking device.

How
far along? 37 weeks!
Maternity
clothes: mostly t-shirts and
husband’s sweat pants. Every once in a while I get really glamorous and
put on real clothes!
Stretch marks: No
and crossing my fingers. My mom said I gave her stretch marks a day
before she delivered me so to watch out! Either way I don’t know that my
body will ever quite be the same but that is a ok
Sleep: This
is funny because I am writing this at 2:24 am…. So I guess you can draw
your own conclusions. It is an interesting thing this sleep because I am
so so tired and yet it wont come. I feel bad keeping Brent up with
tossing and turning so after 4 hours of good effort I gave up and came to
finish this post!
Miss
anything? I miss hugs where Brent and
I both get to stand up straight. I also miss running, jumping, rolling
over with ease haha. Oh the simple things we take for granted when we are
not 9 months pregnant.
Movement: She has
really slowed down. A month ago I would watch her bulge out both sides
and now she mostly just jabs my ribs here and there.
Food
cravings: Ice Cream. Brent and I
found this one dollar ice cream shop close to our house and we are starting to
frequent it about once a week. Not to mention I can’t wait to have a baby
that I can blame missing food on. When there are only 2 of you and half a
tub of Tillamook Mudslide ice cream goes missing it can be kind of
embarrassing.
Gender: Girl.
Labor
signs: My
braxton hicks have just been really vamping up. They are not painless
anymore as the definition states them to be. I will get checked on Monday
for progress. I am trying not to get my hopes up for anything too crazy
but would love to have this baby a little early rather than a little late.
Symptoms: insomnia, aching
hips, lower back pain
Belly button in or
out? Still in but some days it is nearly
flat
Happy or moody
most of the time: Very content. I am grateful that
I haven’t had crazy mood swings and that this has been able to be a special
time of our life
Looking forward to: meeting
our baby. I just want to see her face and hold her and be a little family
with husband.

Here is a video I really liked that helped me to have faith in my choice to become a mother.
