Week 36-May 17, 2013

 
This week was one of the busiest weeks ever! We had my brother's graduation (go Matty!) and then Mother's day on Sunday which was really nice. Then Monday we took our maternity photo's and Tuesday I had my doctors appointment and had dinner with our Grandpa. Then the rest of the week we were getting ready to have our garage sale, Andy's diaper party and family over on Sunday. It will be so nice to just relax and slow down a bit. I was actually getting worried that we were doing too much and I was having more contractions than usual in the evenings. Anyways, it was a great week, just busy. My appointment went really well too. She had hiccups during the appointment. :) Her heart rate is strong and the doctor says she is still head down. I'm dilated to a 1....woo hoo!!

Baby Size:  Honeydew
Average size: 17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 lb.Hearing is fully developed…
Total Weight gain/loss: 30 lbs
Maternity clothes: Still maternity jeans and a few shirts. I had been trying to wear larger sized clothes for the most part but i'm at the point that nothing fits again. I only have 4 weeks left so I dont really want to go out and buy anything new. I will be great to be able to wear my old shirts again!

Stretch Marks: None as of yet! :) I think I may have seen a few but I can't tell just yet.
Sleep: Not great.  I am constantly waking up. When it's time to get up for work I feel like I havent ever been to sleep. I think I wake up every morning between 3:30-4. Its terrible.
 
Best moment this week: It was really fun doing our Maternity photos. We were able to get some really good pics even though I'm 9 months pregnant. There were definitely a few that arent quite so great so I would suggest getting pictures done no later than 7-8 months if you can help it. Besides not feeling so hot my 9 months, its very hard to move around. We were trying to sit on the ground and then get up and move. It was just difficult. But our photographer is awesome! 

Miss anything: Ok how about being able to get up out of bed without having to roll, or even bend over easily to tie my shoes! I do miss that. I'm looking forward to just being able to move around with ease again especially without having to make a ridiculous grunting noise. Andy thinks i'm exaggerating but I really can't help it!
 
Food cravings: Anything Sweet still. I got the Yonanas for my birthday and am really loving strawberries and mango in it.

 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just spicy stuff.
Have you started to show yet: Yes and i'm just getting bigger!
 
Movement: Lots. I'm not sure but she was head down but it feels like she may have flipped. I will find out at the next appointment.
 

Gender: Girl!! Bailey Isabel Riva

 
Labor Signs: I have been having a lot of contractions lately. Mostly at night though.
Belly Button in or out:  Still half in and half out.
 
Wedding rings on or off: Still off. I really wanted to wear it for our maternity pictures but there was no way I was getting it on. I wore it on my pinky finger for a few of the pictures.

Mood: I'm feeling good but really tired all the time. We have so much going on its just crazy. 
 
Looking forward to: Being done with our garage sale so we can get the rest of the junk out of our house! I'm also looking forward to meeting my new niece!!
 
Due Date: June 12th, 2013
