Belly Status – 38 Weeks

We are getting so close now!  2 weeks left!!  Ahhhh!!!!  I’m about to jump out of my skin with excitement!!  The blankets are washed.  The clothes are washed.  We have a car seat!  The crib is ready!  I’m ready!  Jesse’s ready!  All we need is a sweet little baby…

For the most part I am feeling good.  Yes, it is getting very hard to move!  It takes twice as long as it should to get dressed in the morning.  I have to go to the bathroom every 3 minutes and it is like a life or death situation!!  You feel as if you are going to die if you don’t go right now!!  Sorry… was that TMI?!!?  Oops!

My ankles are disgusting!  Seriously disgusting!  But after a few moments of propping them up and resting they go right  back to normal.

Its very funny to hear people’s reactions when they see me now.  I get a lot of “You’re ready, aren’t you?”

Sunday night we went to meet up with a guy to look at his truck (a whole other story that I’ll have to share with you sometime – Jesse is looking at a bigger truck – which I am totally jazzed about because I was stressing over how a car seat was going to fit in ours!  His concern was that our truck could not pull a trailer that he just bought.  The difference between Moms and Dads!).  The seller comes over and I’m still sitting in our truck.  He reaches his hand threw the window and shakes my hand.  A few moments later I hop out of the truck and the seller looks back at me and looks again and says “Holy $hit!  She’s pregnant!”  Jesse and I both laughed – I laughed pretty hard actually!!

Think Blueberry will have Uncle Adam’s dimples!? 

My clothes no longer fit.  My maternity clothes that is!!  My belly seems to always be sticking out the bottom of my shirts!  I never thought I would grow out of my maternity clothes!!

At my last Dr. appointment, I laid on the table and pulled my shirt up so we could listen to the heartbeat (which is my favorite part!) and she looks at my belly and says “Such a cute baby bump you have!”  I give that nervous giggle of… a bump, who are ya kiddin!  And she says that one of her partners at the clinic called her baby bump… a baby mountain!!  Yes, that is exactly what I’m calling the bump now… my baby mountain!!!

Secretly – Jesse and I are both ready for our maternity leaves from work!!  Jesse will get two weeks off with me and I am very excited about that!

I think that is 38 weeks in a nutshell… everything is going well.  Blueberry is checking in right where she should be at all her appointments and everything seems healthy and perfect!

All the pictures were taken by my Mom!!
