38 Weeks: Full Term

This little baby chunk inside of me has reached full term :)  And I've been slacking on picture-taking. We always forget, or our schedules don't cooperate.

I'm feeling pretty good lately, though it's really hard to get around some days. Sometimes I have days where I feel fine and mostly able-bodied. But then other days, it's a struggle just to walk to the bathroom. The baby is very low, and pressing on all sorts of things. My stomach feels HUUUGE. And is, really. It's taking over my body! But all things considered, I'm doing good. I'm not constantly hating being pregnant or anything.

Mini Mac is still moving quite a bit. I don't think she will ever calm down, now. I'm excited to meet her and see her. I feel like I've already been bonding with her since I carry her around all the time, and talk to her and play music for her. She's my little buddy.

Pictures didn't turn out so great this week because I was squinty and should have worn sunglasses. But, you can still see how gigantic my belly is, at least.

36 Weeks: Vacay time

Tyler has been on vacation since Saturday, which we probably thought would consist of a lot of relaxing and doing nothing... but, as these things usually go, we've kept very busy! But we've gotten a lot done around the house and the yard, and I think there's a lot of fun in seeing the improvements in your own house. The nursery is coming together. I'm still missing a dresser/changing table, but we're getting closer. 

The doctor thinks that my baby will be a normal size (7-8 lbs) and that I will most likely go to my due date. I believe him about going until my due date or later, because that's typical of first time mothers anyway. Not so sure about the normal size baby! Last night, Mini was wild for hours. We even took a video that I may have to post on here. She's probably tired today after all of that!

Here are my pics that I took yesterday--- a little late. I might be wearing a lot of black from here on out... haha

35 Weeks: Home, Sweet Home

I missed last week-- it was yet another very busy week! But I should be able to finish the pictures now, as things have slowed down a little. Hopefully, I can also add some pictures of the nursery if it ever gets looking presentable.

I'm now the proud vessel of a full-grown baby human. She could be anywhere from 18 to 20 inches, and putting on baby fat, from here on out. She's still very active-- that's never really changed. I guess I've gotten used to this body a little for now, because I'm getting pretty good sleep right now, and only getting up once or twice to go to the bathroom. I'm trying the best I can to get things unpacked so that this house isn't a complete wreck when Mini gets here. Thank goodness for all the help we've gotten from our families over the last couple of weeks-- we couldn't have gotten this far without them. Tyler's been doing a lot of unpacking when he can and he's not working. He gets a lot more done than I do when he's motivated! I usually unpack a couple of boxes then sit down.



Here are some pics-- Tyler and I plan on taking one together when Mom comes and visits this week:
