A Lava Lamp...

Wow ~ 36 weeks and 4 days! It doesn't seem like it's possible to be this far along already. Time is flying by. The good news is that if little man decided to make his appearance today, we'd be ready!! And, for the record, I would like him to wait until next week, Monday or Tuesday (preferably Tuesday, we'll get to the whys later).

This weekend we took Abigail on some outings, just her and mommy and daddy, and on one of them I saw a lava lamp. I stared at it for a few moments and realized that I feel an awful lot like a human lava lamp... this baby does not stop moving. I think that nearly every moment he is squirming, hiccuping or rolling around. Most of the time it isn't uncomfortable, but there are moments!

How far along? 36 weeks, 4 days
Maternity Clothes? Mostly scrubs, but I love my maternity capris and am very comfortable in comfy clothes :)
Stretch Marks? Not yet...
Sleep? I wish I could get more... I have nights where I sleep great and only wake up once, but others I'm up every couple of hours and wake up more tired than I was when I went to bed!
Best moments this week? Our Memorial Day weekend! We went to Moon Marble Co., had friends over, visited friends, met baby Scarlett (the picture from 33 weeks was with her mommy ~ she arrived Sunday morning!), did a science experiment, went to Crown Center and had lots of time with Abigail!
Miss Anything? Wine...
Movement? Yes... see the post title and description above...
Food Cravings? Not really
Anything make you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms? I'm officially dilated!! I'm onto my weekly doctor's appointments and was checked today and I'm dilated to an "easy 1" ~ yea! That is a whole lot farther than I ever made it with Abigail, so I'm excited!!
Belly button in or out? Out.
Linea Nigra? There is maybe a faint line very low...
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? I'm happier than before, I think, but I'm getting uncomfortable, so that might be making me moody?
Looking forward to? This weekend and Abigail's dance recital!

There are no new belly pictures (strangely), so lots of pictures of Abigail and what we've been up to will have to do!

Playing in the rain!

Playing in cornstartch and water... our science experiment!

(1cup of cornstartch + ~1/2cup of water)

Riding a triceritops at the dinosaur exhibit in Crown Center

Drying off and worn out!

Baby Update ~ 33 weeks!

Already? 33 weeks, already?? The time is seriously flying by! The good news is that, for the most part, we are ready. With the help of two aunts and both grandmas (not to mention an uncle and friends) we have the nursery put together and Abigail's new room is pretty much finished, too. {Pictures to come once the few things that need finished up are done}

Julie ~ Ashley
Due: June 6th ~ June 22nd

How far along? 33 weeks, exactly!
Maternity Clothes? Still wearing scrubs all week, and normally comfy clothes on the weekend, but when we go anywhere I wear my awesome GAP maternity jeans! :)
Stretch Marks? Nope, although with Abigail they didn't show up until about a week AFTER she was born ~ Still the same!
Sleep? It's still hit and miss... last night I was awake every 3-4 hours... conditioning?
Best moments this week? Getting all of the trim up in Abigail's room and getting the nursery pretty much put together. Pictures to come once everything is all finished! AND ~ we had maternity pictures taken last Saturday. We had SO much fun with Kelsey and Dean!!
Miss Anything? Still breathing comfortably... I would have to add sleeping to this list, too.
Movement? Lots!
Food Cravings? Not really
Anything make you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms? I'm had the round ligament pains and I'm having calf cramps at night. I also feel a TON of pressure down low... last Friday we saw Sara and little Mr's head is down and I definitely feel it. We weren't able to get any pictures because he would not cooperate and turn his head. He is apparently all ready to come out!
Belly button in or out? It's out now, I'm pretty sure.
Linea Nigra? Nope
Wedding ring on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? I'm not sure about "most of the time", but I'm definitely moody and I don't like it!
Looking forward to? Sleep!! I hope to sleep "in" tomorrow, whatever that looks like. We've had people down the last two weekends helping us get the rooms painted and I've been up way too early!! That, and I plan to finish up Abigail's room this weekend.
