We're in the Homestretch!

Happy Halloween from our little Jack-O-Baby!

Your little face has melted my heart. I am so ready to hold you in my arms. You, my precious son, have already made me a happier person. There are simply no words for all my love.    

How far along?   

Almost 37 weeks!

Baby's Size?

about 6lbs 10oz (according to ultrasound) 

Boy or Girl?

Confirmed, Boy

Fun Facts About Baby?

He has chubby little cheeks and a head full of hair.

Has a pretty adorable inventory of clothes waiting on him.

His movements can be seen from the outside of my belly (it's like watching a big lump move around); it still amazes me to see and feel him move!

If he decided to be born today... Mommy is ready and waiting! 

How is Mommy Doing?

• Symptoms?   Swelling. Dilated to a 1 last week. Uncomfortable! A few BH contractions so far.

• Mood?  Impatient.

• Cravings?  Now that Walgreens has Dippin'Dots I could eat them every.single.day and be happy.  

• Dreams? Not sleeping as deep anymore so not a lot of dreams, but, when I do, they are just so random. 

• Body Differences? What's not different?!? I'm huge and uncomfortable, but at the same time, I've never looked at my body in awe.  

How is Daddy Doing? He's surviving. This semester of medical school has definitely been the most demanding one, yet. (It never had a good reputation so we knew it would be tough!) However, all things considered, he is doing a great job handling everything. 

How's the Nursery? It's set up! I still have little tiny details that I'm working on, but nothing that wouldn't be ready for baby if he decided to come. Clothes are in the drawers but need to be washed... and I REALLY need to pack a hospital bag.   

We're Looking Forward To: All the signs that say "GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW" and Christmas break! And I always look forward to my doctors appointments (each Wednesday) to see if/how things have progressed!
