Week 37-May 24, 2013

I can't believe it but I'm officially full term as of Wednesday! I feel like the whole pregnancy has gone so fast but it really has been great. I'm so excited for Bailey to get here but I could honestly use a few more weeks. Her room is all done and I have to say i'm very proud of how it turned out. I will post the room photos in the next post. Andy is so sweet and decided to buy this adorable chain for her fan. Its Noah's Ark with little animals hanging out of the windows. Its funny what he thinks of doing but it means so much that he cares like he does.

I had my weekly appointment on Tuesday and they said I'm still measuring small so they want to do a follow up ultra sound next Tuesday just to be sure she is growing appropriately. I just hope and pray that she is healthy and strong. It does worry me a little bit. I havent dilated any further either.

Sunday we got to meet our new little niece, Emmy. She is so cute and sweet. She didnt cry at all when she was over. I'm hoping maybe Bailey will take after her in that regards but knowing what a handful both Andy and I were, I'm not so sure I will be that lucky :)

We went to the Chelsea/Manchester game last night which was AMAZING! I was so happy that Bailey didn't come early so that I could go to the game. I know that's selfish but so worth it. Now I am getting ready to pamper myself today with a mani/pedi and a 90 min massage (thanks groupon!)

Ok I'm deffinitely looking huge at this point. Oh lord......

Fun at the soccer game. I miss playing so bad. Hopefully I can get back in shape and play indoor in this winter.

Baby Size:  Winter melon (not sure what that is??)

Average size: 18.9-20.9 inches, 6.2-9.2 lb. (please be on the smaller side of this range!)Baby’s inhaling, exhaling, sucking, gripping and blinking.

Total Weight gain/loss: 32 lbs

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing whatever I can get away with until she gets here. Still love the yoga pants. I went looking for maternity shorts at Old Navy and I really want to know who thought it was a good idea to sell shorts with a 2 inch inseam. I dont care if there is a stretchy band around the waist or not. Come on!! 

Stretch Marks: None as of yet! :) I think I may have seen a few but I can't tell just yet.

Sleep: Still not great. My back is killing me again as well.

Best moment this week: The soccer game really was awesome. Andy and I had fun just hanging out letting the stress go for a night. It sort of felt like we were dating again! haha 

Miss anything: We met up with my brother in law last night after the soccer game. Him and all of his friends were going out for the night and it was already 10:45! I know it will be awhile but I have to say it will be really fun to get dressed up and go out one night after she is here. I'm starting to feel so old and I know that we really aren't that old yet. Oh yeah, it doesnt help that I have been finding gray hairs!! Its really starting to freak me out.

Food cravings: Anything Sweet still. Also thanks to my co-worker, I have been eating lots of Nutella. I dont care what the commercials say, that stuff can't be good for you.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still just spicy stuff.

Have you started to show yet: Yes and i'm just getting bigger!

Movement: I swear she is kicking my ribs on purpose!

Gender: Girl!! Bailey Isabel Riva

Labor Signs: I have just been feeling really off lately.....

Belly Button in or out: Still half in and half out.

Wedding rings on or off: Still off.

Mood: I wasnt feeling very good this week. I was really worried this was going to be the week but ended up taking a day off work to rest and it made all the difference.  

Looking forward to: I am getting so excited to finally meet my little Bailey girl. I can't wait to sit in my chair and rock her and read to her. Also looking forward to seeing Andy with her :) Ok besides the sappy stuff, I'm looking forward to my day of pampering!!!!

Due Date: June 12th, 2013
