36 Weeks!!!

Oh my goodness!  We are in the home stretch!  I am actually 37.5 weeks today but am behind on my posting.  Only 17 days until due date counting from today!  It is unbelievable how fast it has gone, yet how slow these last couple of weeks have gone.  I am trying to cherish every minute of being pregnant and every movement, however, I am READY to meet our sweet baby!

The nursery should be completely finished this weekend.  Our glider will FINALLY be delivered tomorrow, and then we can arrange the room how we wish and hang everything on the wall.

We had an ultrasound last week and they are estimating Baby Satterfield to already be 6 pounds 9 ounces.  I also have started getting weekly cervix checks and as of now am only 50% effaced and 1cm dilated.  I had a blood pressure spike last week and my feet have started swelling so I am doing my best to stay off of them as much as possible.

My feet get SUPER swollen by the end of the day

We celebrated Christmas with Casey's family last weekend and will celebrate Christmas with my family this weekend.  Then we will hunker down and wait on Baby Satt to make his or her appearance :)

Hospital bags all packed and ready to go!

Month 9 Update

How far along? 36 weeks

Maternity clothes? Yes!  Lots of stretchy pants!

Stretch marks? Unfortunately, they just keep coming

Sleep: Ugh....what's this "sleep" you speak of?  Having to get up multiple times a night to go to the bathroom or sleep sitting up due to heartburn

Best moment this month: Seeing our sweet baby and knowing we are almost at the end

Movement: Absolutely.  The movements have gone from kicks to the baby rolling around.  He/She is definitely running out of space

Food cravings: Sweets.  At this point it doesn't matter what kind of sweets, I will take anything

Anything making you queasy or sick: If I drink water too fast, it tends to come back up.  Guess my stomach is just really squished

Missing anything:  Being able to get comfortable and bending over to tie my shoes

Have you started to show yet: I.  AM.  HUGE.

Gender prediction: I am still thinking its a boy.  Had a dream the other night about the baby and it was a little boy with a full head of fire engine red hair.  I kept telling the nurse that it wasn't my baby!

Labor Signs: The baby feels like it has definitely dropped and am having pressure "down below"

Wedding rings on or off? Off.  I cant get them over my knuckles :(

Happy or Moody most of the time: I am trying to be as happy as possible.  Unless you piss me off haha

Looking forward to: Meeting our sweet little baby!!!!  Almost time!
