35 weeks

35 weeks... 35weeks

How far along? 35 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 24 lbs total 
Maternity clothes? All the time, still having a hard time finding shirts long enough to cover my belly 
Sleep? Ok. My knee has really been acting up and it goes up to my hip. We have been helping at vbs this week and I think all that standing and walking has something to do with it this week. 
Best moment this week: still being pregnant! 

Movement: more big rolls and squirmy moves than kicks 
Food cravings: fruit loops at night again 
Gender: GIRL! Maycee 
Labor Signs: tmi had some plug come out this week, and last week Thursday and Friday were really bad. I was cramps and my stomach was really tight 
Belly Button in or out? In but shallow - each pregnancy it gets more shallow but still had never popped out 
What I miss: just doing the easy things, I get winded and super cramps easily lately. 
What I am looking forward to: seeing the other two interact with their sister. Carson was feeding a baby doll this week and it was so sweet 
Weekly Wisdom: sit back and relax... A newborn will be here soon!

Milestone: 35 weeks! 

We are still working on a middle name for Maycee and I keep telling grant he doesn't have that much time left to decide. Right now we are between two names and need to use each of them daily to see what we feel fits the best. 

I have been having those "I'm so done with this" days lately.... Then I have to stop and thank god that I am still pregnant and that I am able to be pregnant. My first pregnancy I already had a baby in the nicu that was a week old, with Carson I spent the day in the hospital at 35 weeks with consistent contractions that thankfully Drs. were able to stop. It all just is so real to me since I have been on both sides. I can't wait to meet baby girl, but know every day in is a day out of the nicu. My last shot is probably Friday since it is a couple days before 36 weeks, I have a dr apt on Friday and will talk to my ob then. We haven't talked much about it bc I have been so much more relaxed and calm about the whole pregnancy. Maybe it is the lack of work stress or the faith in The Lord I have that he is in control and will take care of everything. But I'm planning it being my last shot and then just going with the flow after that. Like I put in the survey last week Thursday and Friday were not good days at all. To the point I had to stop myself a couple times and just breath. Aryssa has said Maycee is coming August 6th, then today I was putting on mascara and leaning over the sink and aryssa giggles "mom your belly is in the sink!" I said yup Maycee is getting big... When do you think she will be here, her reply "2 weeks" which is right around August 6th. It will be crazy if she is right but will throw off our number pattern. Important things that involve grant and I all have repeating numbers...

1-12-01 we started dating

5-5-07 got engaged

11-08-08 got married

10-30-09 Aryssa was born

11-19-11 Carson born  

So Maycee should either come 8-5-13 (so 8 and 5 add up to 13) or 8-8-13... Wishful thinking right? She will come when she is ready I know, and that week (on the 6th) I will be 37 weeks which is my goal . Whatever her birthday it will be perfect :)
