38 and 39 weeks

^^Thursday May 30th - 38 weeks^^

I noticed she dropped on June 1st. I was curious if I would be one of the women that did notice a difference when the baby does drop. and I really was. It was hard to walk. still is, but I am more used to it now. Its such a strange feeling. My midwife did confirm that she was dropped. So there is a sign that she is coming sometime soon!

^^Thursday June 6th - 39 weeks^^

I am for sure uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I still love being pregnant, but it's just getting harder and harder to move and walk. 
I love knowing that she can come at any time. It's a little scary, but more exciting than anything. 
I saw one of the women that was in our hypnobirthing class and she had her little girl, that made things more real for me. 
I have started to notice contractions, especially last night. 
She gets super active at night when ryan and I are hanging out on the couch. Ryan is already starting to play with her and it melts my heart. she kicks, and Ryan will try to catch her. he'll say, "where are you baby?... where are you?"... and then when he feels her kick he will say, "there you are!" it's seriously so adorable. 
Ryan's dream finally came true... the baby and I love steak.
We think we have everything ready for her to come home.  Let it be soon!
We can't wait to meet her!

34, 36, and 37 weeks

May 2nd - 34 weeks along here. I got these adorable shirts from my sister. She wore them through her pregnancy. So I had to put a side by side picture of us both wearing the same shirt. She was 30 weeks here. I love it.

May 18th - 36 weeks and 2 days along here. My lil sis through me a baby shower in eastern idaho. it was so much fun to see everyone this day. I feel so blessed to have such incredible people in my life.

^^ This is the best picture i have of sierra and i (which isn't all that great). I wish we would have taken one together. LOVE YOU SIE! ^^

Ryan stayed the entire time through the shower. I loved that he was there with me! He said, "I have never been to a baby shower before, but this is a good one."
 

Thank you everyone who came to see us! It was so fun to see your lovely faces!

I had a special friend come see me. We have been friends since kindergarten, maybe even earlier? Here we are, the belly busters.

She came dressed in stripes with a baby belly too! I didn't get to make it to her shower so I brought her a gift to open at mine. She is having a boy and she is only a few weeks farther along than I am. We both were wearing stripes and we both got each others babies stripe outfits. So funny!

 May 27th - 37 weeks and 4 days

it's any day now. i am full term. i can't believe she could make her appearance at any minute. she moves so much and she loves my ribs. i am feeling really good, maybe a little too good. yesterday at yoga, i looked down and just held her thinking it could be any day now. it made me feel a little sad thinking my belly will be gone someday soon. i have loved being pregnant, even if i am limited at what i can do. we are excited to meet this little sweetheart and hopefully we will have a name after we see her precious face.

 Baby girl is supposedly over 4 pounds and passed the 17" mark.

Are you starting to see a little bit more comfort clothing overriding? Seriously... I got to a point where I dress up only once a week (for church) and the rest of the time I'd kill for a pair of sweats.

I'm getting bigger and bigger and the time is getting closer and closer. 

It's crazy to think that I am really this far along. I don't have much time left! 

Ryan is getting closer to finish the co sleeper for her to sleep in. That's a pretty important project to finish before she gets here. It's beautiful.

We finished our Hypnobirthing class, well minus our private class that will be closer to when I'm 37 weeks. We LOVED it! Our teacher was awesome. It was so much fun and it makes me excited for labor. I am planning on it being nothing short of amazing.

We had a baby shower that was hosted by 2 amazing friends of mine. I felt so loved with all those that were able to make it. I am seriously so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life. With all of their help, we feel so much more prepared.

It's so fun to watch this baby girl move now. Because there is less room I can see her kicks and jabs and punches. She's a wild one.

Some days Ryan get's really shocked by how big my belly looks. Sometimes it's not very gradual to him... sometimes it's all of a sudden BIG. And he will comment on that. It's pretty funny. 

We love her so much.

For those of you who are wondering... we still have NO name for her :)

went to my midwife on weds march 6th and and she told me i have gained 8 lbs since my last appointment February 6th. that's quite a lot in just 4 weeks. must be the doughnuts ;) she told me that my over all weight gain is good and normal (16 lbs), but that i better not gain 8 more lbs by the next visit. i told her i have been upping my exercise and she told me that maybe it is just muscle mass. who knows. i will just have to be more careful of my maple bar intake.

I think my new craving is doughnuts. maple bars to be exact. i never liked doughnuts but now i crave them all the time.
