| Totally unreliable, and yet I still read them. |
due date: August 7th, 39 days to go! It's crazy that I only have a little over a month left. And honestly, she could come any time in that month.
size of the baby: approximately 5-5.5 pounds now. it's been almost 2 weeks since my ultrasound and she weighed 4.8 lbs then. all the apps are wrong! one says 4.63 pounds approximately this week! sorry The Bump app, you're off by a pound probably.
baby is: packing on fat, getting ready for delivery!
movement: really running out of room. when she moves, it is almost painful.
gender: totally girly. i didn't realize how many pink outfits i had until i did her laundry this weekend.
total weight gain: 22 pounds officially. i had an appointment yesterday and weighed 172.6. i'm not concerned and at this point, i'm still eating fairly healthy.
stretch marks: no new ones to discuss. still rubbing on the belly butter.

symptoms: reflux, swelling, cervix pain, joint pain, just generally feeling very uncomfortable.
wedding rings on or off: off. unfortunately i developed a small rash where they were rubbing. i guess from the heat and swelling. so i'm not wearing them anymore, which looks so odd to me.
belly button in or out: in this sort of fleshed out state where it's not really in but it's not poking out.

maternity clothes: if i didn't have to go to work every day, i would wear nothing but tank tops, no bra, and cropped yoga pants. unfortunately i have to look presentable so i'm making it work somehow.
sleep: eh. i've sort of given up thinking i'll get a nice night of sleep anymore.
missing: my old body. and it wasn't even that great! but it definitely didn't have 22 extra pounds and a bowling ball for a stomach.
cravings/aversions: still chocolate milk. i like to have a glass a day. Jesse brought home non-fat milk the other day and it totally bummed me out. whole milk chocolate milk is so much better.
cries: sometimes i want to, just because i feel so uncomfortable. but i don't. i realized the other day that i can't be the baby anymore because now i'll have a baby.
nursery: we worked really hard over the weekend and i'd say it's about half done. Jesse and his brother built the crib, I did a bunch of her laundry, put the crib sheet on, cleaned up the changing table and have that almost ready to go, picked out some things at michael's to make bible verse canvas hangings, sorted her clothes. we have a 3 day weekend coming up, thank goodness, so i'm hoping he'll get her dresser built and we can officially get it ready!

Jesse is: gearing up for baby girl. he installed both car seat bases, helped me build the stroller, built the pack'n'play, went with me to Target to pick out a bunch of things we still needed. he has been really supportive.
best moments: getting the nursery together. it feels good to build the room that will be hers. another person will be living in our house soon!
not so best moments: i'm over working honestly. it should be mandatory to stay home the last month of pregnancy and just prepare yourself for your new baby.
looking forward to: Jesse building the dresser, filling it with her clothing and such. and basically just relaxing this weekend. we have 3 whole days, but a wedding Saturday night. I'm going to take it super easy since I have had swelling in my feet and ankles and by the end of the night I am so tired and achy.
next appointment: next week! July 5. They are every week now and I cannot believe I'm already here.
