38 Weeks

How far along?  38 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 36 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yup!

Stretch marks? Just a few

Best moment this week: Visiting with friends and family

Miss Anything? Getting in and out of the car comfortably. It is seriously one of the hardest parts of my day!

Movement: Yup, but he's running out of room!

Food cravings: Frozen fruit, tea and ice still

Anything making you queasy or sick: Actually yes. I'm not sure why I have been so nauseated lately but it has been terrible. I get really dizzy sometimes too. I dunno...It's weird.

Have you started to show yet: I have a watermelon sized growth on the front of my body. I think yes.

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs: I have contractions every day but nothing comes of them. I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow so maybe I'll get some good news!

Belly Button in or out? Out...totally flat...aaaand squishy. So weird.

Happy or Moody most of the time: At this point I'm just miserably pregnant.

Looking forward to: Giving birth! (I just want to get it over with! Forget the horror stories!)

This week I have been running myself ragged with work and activities and trying to go into labor every way possible! lol I walk my dogs in the 90 degree heat for about 20-30 minutes every day, I hike up hills, I drink raspberry leaf tea...and nothing. The only thing I won't do is castor oil. Sick. No gracias! But, other than that, nothing new to report. My family and friends have been checking up on me daily and my frustration with the fact that I'm still pregnant just keeps growing at an ever-quickening pace. Joshua doesn't seem to understand how miserable this really is for me (and I mean, how could he? He's not the one packing the kid around 24/7) and he just keeps getting frustrated with everyone's concern. It has been a stressful environment around here to say the least!

We went to our friends, James and Jenna's, son's first birthday party yesterday and it was so much fun! Jenna had everything fixed up so completely adorable and Isaiah was just as cute as ever! Happy Birthday Zai!
