How big is baby?
Up to 4 pounds and almost 19 inches long!
What’s baby doing this week?
She's getting ready for her descent -- she's likely in the head-down position now.
Total weight gain/loss?
30 whopping pounds!!!
Symptoms?
Morning sickness got better for awhile but it seems to be coming back, although not as bad. I have thrown up a few times but it seems to be only when I am really tired. And I am EXHAUSTED which is partially to blame for my lack of blogging in the past month and a half. Legitimate pregnancy insomnia has kicked in and I find myself awake all night long and I'm usually awake for the day several hours before dawn- it's getting old!
Maternity clothes? Starting to outgrow a few of my tops already, and other ones have gotten a little short. I am almost exclusively in leggings as I can no longer squeeze into almost all of my maternity jeans.

Stretch Marks? Yep! They are now both above and below my bellybutton and starting on my hips. So ugly...
Sleep? It sucks!
Best moment of the week? Probably just seeing Nathan get so excited about the arrival of the baby. He has been including her in his prayers lately and talking about how awesome his changing family is.

Food Cravings? Fruit! Finally something that's not totally gross for me!
Movement? While she's slowed down quite a bit she has gotten strong!!! She just takes the breath out of me some days. I swear she is all knees! She's not much of a kicker like Nathan was, she is more of a stretcher...some days I just watch in horror as I'm sure that she's going to tear out of my belly!
Labor signs? Can't believe I am to this question already! I'm well past the days of paranoia as every twinge gives me a panic attack and I can tell that I am getting closer and closer to the big day. While I don't have any real labor signs, I have been getting Braxton Hicks at an astonishing rate, I never had them like this with Nathan!
Belly button in/out? Popped out further than I knew possible! I look like I have an umbilical hernia!

What I miss: sleep :(
What I am looking forward to: Getting this little turkey out of me! I am so stinking excited to meet her.I just can't believe that we have come as far as we have and that things are going so well. I am just overwhelmed with so many emotions. I am relieved and anxious all at the same time. I spent so long in denial of this whole having a baby idea and here I am, getting ready to have a baby NEXT MONTH! I still can't quite get it to sink in. Every few days or so it hits me and I go into full blown panic mode as I am nowhere near ready, but then the feeling subsides and I am back to feeling like I can't possible be so close to having another kid. 8 weeks until my due date, and only 4 weeks from where Nathan was born. Surreal!

Milestones: At this point I don't really have any major milestones left other than hitting full-term at 37 weeks!
Belly time!
