week 37! still trucking along and now feeling very relaxed that this sweet baby boy can show up whenever he thinks he's ready -- we are ready for him! i'm a little sad to say that this pregnancy has seemed harder for me than my first two. i'm sure a lot of that has to do with my exhaustion on some days from continuing to work my FT night schedule, the fact that matt has a weird schedule too, and trying to keep up with our other two kiddos. i feel like this baby is much larger than the others were and that might be the reason that after working for 12 hours i will actually have some swelling in my feet (which, again, i never had before). i also just feel so much bigger this time around, despite not having gained any more weight with this pregnancy than i did with the others. i guess we'll just have to wait and see how big this little boy actually is when he decides on a birthday for himself ;)
according to pregnancy sources, he currently weighs around 6 1/3 lbs and measures somewhere around 19 inches long. and we still haven't decided on a name for him yet. we have several top pics but continue to struggle with something that *clicks* for this baby boy. i guess we still have time...
maternity quiz
sleep: i'm having weird dreams, one of those pregnancy things that doesn't really make sense. i can't recall any of them right now, but i'll wake up and think, "well, that was weird!"
best moment this week: spending time with my women's group at church for our last official meeting and time with family to celebrate jared's birthday
what i miss: still just missing my flexibility, this big belly makes it difficult to do some things these days ;)
what i'm looking forward to: maternity leave! seriously, i am ready to hold this sweet child and not have to show up to work 3 times/week :D
weekly wisdom: even though i'm probably a little more ready for this pregnancy to end than i was with my previous pregnancies, i am willing to trust God's timing for this sweet boy. i know that the Lord already knows when his birthday will be -- and what his name is!
milestones: 37 weeks!
