Baby is the size of a: Winter melon

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Ready to head to the hospital..now that she is technically full term it could happen any day now, and I'm definitely feeling like I'm ready for that ;)

Maternity clothes: My belly is starting to peak out under a majority of my shirts!

Sleep: Very strange dreams lately plus tossing and turning makes for restless nights, but I better get use to that.
Best moment this week: Reaching full term, so excited!

 Worst moment this week: Getting tired/sore so easily from cleaning. It's so frustrating! Of course I'm nesting like crazy but can't push it...which Kev has reminded me many times.
Miss anything: Looking down and seeing my legs and toes :P Big ol belly in the way.
Movement: She's still carrying away like crazy in there. Lately she has been hiccuping a lot which is so funny to feel.
Cravings: Iced coffee.

Queasy or sick: Thankfully the acid reflux has stopped (for now!).
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: We picked up a few more things for her nursery which is thiiiis close to being done, fingers crossed I can take some pics this weekend to post.

Looking forward to: Tomorrow, it's officially May! Such an exciting month between Mother's Day, family birthdays and meeting our little peanut.

Next appointment: Friday

Baby is the size of a: Canary melon

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Anxious, we are ready to meet our baby girl!

Maternity clothes: I've had enough of them. 

Sleep: Sleep isn't too bad, it's the rolling over in the middle of the night that is rough.
Best moment this week: Scheduling weekly appointments, we are getting that much closer!

 Worst moment this week: Having a breakdown over the debacle of my Easter breakfast plan. It really wasn't that big of deal but those darn hormones!
Miss anything: Beer, especially after seeing a new combo pack of spring/summer shandys.. yum! Also being able to move like I use to..bending over to pick things up or take the laundry out of the dryer has been quiet the task haha.
Movement: She's gotta be running out of room but that doesn't stop her from rolling and kicking at all hours :)
Cravings: Flavored water with ice cubes, I just love chewing on ice cubes lately.

Queasy or sick: A little bit of acid reflux here and there but nothing major.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: Well with all the Easter sales last week I had to pick up at least one cute romper for the little one ;) 

Looking forward to: Meeting our peanut soon.

Next appointment: Thursday

 Baby is the size of a: Hot air balloon (jk honeydew melon!)

Gender: Girl

Feeling: Ok. Baby girl is feelin heavy on my body, so I'm starting to get back aches but it's worth it :) I've also noticed that Braxton Hicks contractions are becoming more frequent.

Maternity clothes: Bring on the maxi dresses! My maternity jeans are starting to get uncomfortable.

Sleep: It varies...some nights I have hip pains and toss and turn like crazy but other nights I pass right out and don't wake up until my alarm goes off in the morning. 
Best moment this week: Enjoying some sunshine in North Carolina. It was just what I needed before coming back home and thinking of all the things we have to get done before the little one is here. Only 6 more weeks! (Fingers crossed!)

 Worst moment this week: Riding in a car for a total of 27 hours over 6 days. Not fun at 7+ months pregnant but we made it!
Miss anything: Energy and being able to cross my legs for an extended period of time :) It's funny the little things you don't think about that change.
Movement: Lots that make my whole stomach move. She will also roll herself around so that her butt is sticking right out making my stomach tighten up, it's very strange! But cute.
Cravings: Sweets still and back to chinese food again. I had the great idea of having cinnamon sugar on my toast this morning... I can't remember the last time I've had that and I think that may stick around for a bit ;)

Queasy or sick: No sickness here.
 Baby items I couldn't resist buying: I've held off on getting anything lately.

Looking forward to: This weekend with more sunshine and warm weather. It'll be nice to finish up the nursery and get outside to work on the house.

Next appointment: Next Thursday
