38 weeks, 5 days

I'm still here....just waiting...

Baby Size :: 6.8 pounds...19.5 inches...apparently the size of a leek

Weight Gain :: still going strong at the same weight for the past few weeks.

Current Cravings :: ice (SHOCKER), bananas, McDonald's, cereal (fruit loops!!) and mixed green salads with feta, craisens, glazed pecans with balsamic...yum! 

Baby News :: well folks we have made progress! it's minimal at this point, but i will take whatever i can get...no turning back now! i'm apparently measuring a little small, so if baby girl decides to come in the next week they think she will be just 6-6.5lbs and if i make it to due date, roughly around 7lbs. this was music to my ears...although i know there really is no way to tell. 

Complaints :: what is there not to complain about at this point. my back hurts, my veins are really bothering me, the pressure is becoming unbearable, my emotions are going rampant and i'm already getting stressed out about some things after the baby arrives. BUT i really am trying to be a trooper and not complain.

 really.

Exercise :: yeah not so much of this has been happening. there is always next week.

Maternity Style :: do pajamas count?? 

Life Happenings / Baby Prep :: my weeks are starting to slow down, and our calendar is just about completely clear and i plan to keep it that way! we are trying to enjoy as much quality time with our first born as we can. although her behavior lately has been questionable...she must be catching on to what's about to happen ;) we took her to the circus this past weekend and she loved it!!!

oh- and the biggest baby news of all...drum roll please....she finally has a name!!! this is becoming standard for us as we didn't pick lills name until two weeks before she was born. stay tuned, you'll have to wait until she arrives to find out!
