How big is baby? He’s finally a watermelon! We find out just how big at our sonogram on Tuesday. I’ll keep you posted, of course!
Development: Come on out baby!! ;-) we’re ready when you are, love!
How huge is mama? Ugh… don’t ask me to pick anything up off the floor. It’s near impossible. LOL I’m so huge. Good news though, I didn’t gain anything this week. I’m supposed to plateau… maybe I hit it?
Movement? He’s trying to kick his way out…
Food? Ice. I am chomping on ice non-stop. I think it’s because I’m anxious though. It’s my kind of stress reliever.
Belly button? Same! I don’t think it’ll be flat.
Labor Signs? Yes, contractions. Real and Braxton hicks. Nothing regular enough to cause concern though. Just really uncomfortable at times.
Crazy things giving me anxiety? Nothing really. I'm just waiting for things to happen now ;-)
Milestones? WE’RE FULL TERM!!!!!
Looking forward to next? Our last sonogram will be on Tuesday morning. I’m excited, and a little bit sad. Everything is coming to an end and I know I’ll miss being pregnant. If it weren’t for such an amazing payoff in the end (I get to hold, snuggle, and smother my Santos with love) I think I’d want to be pregnant forever. I SO enjoy each kick and moment with my little alien. I’m the type of person, if you haven’t noticed by now, who doesn’t want to wait to hear a secret, wants to know the surprise, and definitely opens gifts early if no one stops me… I totally thought I’d be the same with this pregnancy! I thought I’d be “Get out of there now! I need to see what you look like already!” but nope! I’m comfortable with him staying in there as long as he needs. I know this is such a special time and I’m treasuring every second of it!
Here are photos of the pediatrician's office that we visited last night:
Daddy is still looking for things to put together (he's nesting) and so he put the baby bath tub together, and then mama took a tubby. :-)

Is that a UFO shooting laser beams at sea dragons? And some sort of hippo-bug smelling a giant rose? And fairies?! I like it.
