Baby Girl is the size of a: Winter Melon
Stretch Marks: Nothing yet, Burt's Bee's Mama Bee is good stuff...or I'll get some the day before I go into labor.
Weight Gain: 25 pounds
Weight Gain: 25 pounds
The Bump: Is huge!
Cravings: Just hungry
Sleep: Get up at least once a night. I'm not super uncomfortable, just her dead weight on my side hurts at times.
Movement: This girl doesn't stop! But it's so fun to just watch my belly roll and Kevin can tap in a few different spots and then she'll respond. Lots of fun family bonding :) Staring the other night I realized in just a few short weeks then instead of staring at my belly we'll be staring at her. It's crazy.
Mood: Lazy, plain lazy.
Best Moment this Week: Started weekly Doctor visits and dilated to a 1, 40% effaced. That'll last a while I'm sure. She doesn't think I'll go early or late so 39-40 which is perfectly fine!
Looking forward to: Meeting her!
Symptoms: Braxton hicks here and there, back pain, started swelling a little but trying to stay hydrated.
My advice: For whatever reason I've been thinking lately..probably because of everything on Pinterest. Anyway. If someone was to ask for my advice on pregnancy then I have 3 simple things. #1 Be positive. #2 Stay Active. #3 Find a studio that offers Prenatal Yoga and Go! Very simple and I'm sure there's more, but those 3 things have been my life savers and honestly I attribute feeling so great to those 3 things.

High lights from the last few weeks:
We had maternity pictures taken by Kevin's cousin so pretty excited to see those!
My ward threw a shower and can I just tell you this ward is AMAZING! Women showed up with presents that didn't even know me. Since I'm in the Primary I don't get out much and the other half didn't even know I was pregnant. The women who brought food didn't just go to the store and grab something. They made amazing cakes, desserts, and so much more! Even if they couldn't make it they either brought food or a present. The kindness we have received from so many people is just astounding and such a huge blessing!
Finished the thank you cards for the 3 showers!
My work threw me a "surprise" shower/going away party yesterday. The surprise didn't really work, ha! A little hard to surprise the office manager but it was incredibly thoughtful of them. I'm looking forward to being at home with this little girl but I will miss some of these people I've had the opportunity of working with for almost 3 years.
Laundry is done, nursery basically done and organized, and diaper bag is packed! Just need to clean, do some freezer meals, install the car seat and get our bags packed. Then I think we'll be as ready as we can be!!
