38 Weeks!!!

WOW! Here we are a little over 38 weeks!! I cannot believe we are so close to meeting our little girl!! The next time I blog will be to introduce Olivia Kate!!  We cannot wait to meet her!!  I am so excited but yet so nervous at the same time.   

This post is going to be pretty short.  I just wanted to update one more time before she arrives! It seems so unreal that we are getting ready to have another baby but we are so excited to be bringing another sweet baby into this world.  God has truly blessed us.  Brayden has been the most wonderful, smart, caring and loving little boy and now we get to experience the life of our sweet little girl.  We cannot wait for this next chapter in our lives. 
 
At 38 weeks, she has a firm grasp and her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.   I am so excited to meet this little girl and see what she looks like!! I cannot wait to hold her and kiss on her sweet little face! Ahhhh......I cannot believe we are so close to meeting our sweet Olivia Kate!!

 


Pregnancy Highlights

How far along? 38 weeks, 4 days
Size of Baby?  This week she is approximately the size of a pumpkin.
Weight Gain/Loss?  None
  
Maternity Clothes? Yes 

Gender? IT'S A GIRL! Olivia Kate!

Movement?   She is still pretty active at 38 weeks.  He movements are slower but she is also running out of room in there.  She still pokes me in my side and ribs all the time!!

Best Moment? We were in Walmart  getting groceries and we were in the checkout line and I was standing there with Brayden waiting for Nick to pay and this woman came up beside me and grabbed my arm.  She actually scared me to death!  She was so sweet and said " I just wanted you to know that you look adorable pregnant.  It is all in your belly!"  I told her thank you.  She said that she just had to come over and say something to me.  She was too sweet.  I am thankful for people like her that tell me those things when I am 38 week pregnant! It makes a girl feel good when I feel huge!  :)

Food Craving?  I have not been having a lot of cravings this week.  However, I feel like I am so thirsty all the time!!! I want anything COLD! I cannot get enough!

Sleep?  I am sleeping pretty good for being 38 weeks pregnant, however I toss and turn alot during the night and I have to get up quite a bit to go to the bathroom which interrupts my sleep as well. 

Symptoms?  Heartburn still so emotional, horrible aches and pains, having some contractions that are painful at times, lots of those lovely sensations, and still some slight swelling in my hands and feet.

And here are my 38 week photos!
