Week 35-36


Tomorrow I will be 36 weeks! So, I am glad I was able to squeeze in a 35 week 6 day pic before another week in this pregnancy has come and gone. I kind of feel like time is standing still, but I know baby girl will be here before we know it. This past week has been full of a whole lot of emotions....I feel like I need to spend every waking moment with Camden and soak in all his toddler cuteness. I don't want John to go to work, I just want to spend the entire day with my little family. Anytime I start to think about the life changes that are going to take place in less than I month I start to just about cry. Not because I am sad, because I seriously feel so blessed. The Lord sure has given me a great life and I just can't seem to contain myself. I know that life is going to be VERY different, but really I can't wait for the day to meet this little girl and add one more adorable baby to our family. I've been thinking back a lot lately about the stages we have had with Camden so far and I look forward to doing it all over again :) Even the sleepless nights! Because along with those nights comes the best snuggles and the itty bitty baby that doesn't last very long. 

I had an appointment last Thursday and found out I am dilated to a one and baby girl is hanging pretty low. The doc could feel her head :) We are getting down to the final weeks and she was very happy with my progression. My induction is officially set for June 8th if she decides not to come before that. I didn't put on any weight and stayed at 139. I may not end up gaining as much as I did with Camden. I guess it all depends when she decides to come. I go back to see my doc next Thursday the 22nd and they will check me again and if all goes planed I will get my membranes striped. 

One thing I definitely looking forward to after birth is clothes shopping! My maternity clothes are being uncomfortable and I just really need a new ward rode all around. John asked what I wanted for Mother's Day and I told him to hold off and let me go shopping for my birthday and I'll just combine all the holidays ha ha. I am looking forward to that day I can wear normal clothes again. I still do not have any stretch marks and my my belly button can be seen through my shirts, but is getting flatter and flatter. 

I've been managing to sleep pretty well this last part of pregnancy. I wake up an average of six times a night to go to the bathroom, but I am getting some rest, so that is most important. I am having a lot harder time getting out of bed and rolling side to side though. I've been pretty exhausted lately and have found myself napping sometimes during the day when Camden is. I know when his sister gets here we'll be taking a family nap during the day for sure. I am hoping and praying I can get her sleep trained like I did with Camden. 
Some pregnancy symptoms this past week have consisted of migraines (one of the worst one's I have ever experienced), exhaustion, no energy, my acne is all the sudden back, and crazy pregnancy emotions. 

This little girl moves all the time. Sometimes her movements look more like belly rolls and I occasionally will get a sharp jab in my rib or bladder, but like I have said I am going to miss having her so close, so I am enjoying it. Not many cravings this week...The only really craving was I wanted breakfast for dinner last night, so we went to IHop. 

Baby girls nursery is all complete! Her clothes and blankets have been washed. Her car seat is all ready to be installed. The only thing not done is hospital bags being packed. That is one the list of things to get done this week. We decided on a name a couple of weeks ago have been calling her it lately :) We'll announce it when I do her nursery tour, which I also plan on getting done and posting this week. 

We are ready for you baby girl! Whenever you want to come...
