36 Week and SUPER big SURPRISE!!!

Well my counter on the side says 37 weeks and some days left... I am here to say we received the BEST present on our 3rd Anniversary May 23, 2012.

At 36 weeks 2 days Baby W made her appearance!!! Here she is ... All 5 lbs 19 inches of her :) We could not be more in love with this sweet girl ... and I am currently just trying to soak it all in ... I will post the birth story soon but right now I am soaking in all the squeeks, snuggles and sighs that this baby has brought into our house :) We are over the moon in love ... And I am fining it hard to put her down long enough to type up the incredible birth story. But do not fret I will since I want to remember every minute of that day over and over again!!!!

35 Down 35 To Go

35 Weeks

How Far Along: 35 Weeks! I know I skipped a few... Time just goes SO fast!

Size of baby: Baby Weighs about 5 1/4 pounds and is 18 inches long (pick up a honeydew melon) per Baby Center and the bump states anywhere from 4.7 to 5.8 pounds. So who knows exactly how big they are but getting bigger for sure!!!

Maternity Clothes: Still the same here, some regular, some maternity. I think we will probably go to the end this way.

Movement: Lots of little tickles, pokes, rolls and jabs ... I laugh at my belly alot b.c it really does tickle. BW def has a mind of their own, lots of get off me's when something is poking at my belly, and lots of DON'T you dare hold another baby MOMMY ... It's is funny that BW can immediately SENSE when I pick up a baby and start kicking away! However BW doesnt seem to mind the dogs resting their heads on my belly. SO WEIRD!!!

What I miss: Nothing at the moment, well maybe my throat NOT being on fire 24 hours a day, or the vomitting immediately after I try and bend over. I wouldnt mind those things going away.

Sleep: Some good nights, some BAD nights. Last night was a bad one, lots of PAINFUL contractions and then I just keep worrying that I am not going to make it to the hospital on time :) Yes, I do time them and just as they seem to get into a pattern - they go away.

Symptoms: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX and Throwing up AGAIN! GAH. I wish that one would go away! oh and CONTRACTIONS CONTRACTIONS CONTRACTIONS!

Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit, and an occassional ice cream. Eating has become really hard, after a few bites I am FULL and then if I try and bend over it immediately sends me to the bathroom. Snacking a little all day long seems to work MUCH better ...

Best Moments this week: Spending four glorious days at the beach doing absolutely NOTHING but relaxing. Enjoy alone time with the husby and playing in the water! And realizing 35 weeks down 35 days to go - if we make it that far!


What we are looking forward to:  Meeting BW... Any day. I have been told by my drs they will NOT stop labor again! So if I go - we will be meeting our baby! I cannot wait. Though I will admit, I have had some Am I really ready to be a mom moments? I guess we will see soon enough ;-)
