Any Day...

I was looking back on old posts to compare my size last pregnancy and came across this quiz I took at 38 weeks. I thought it would be fun to do it again since I am yet again just over 38 weeks along.

How big is baby? I went to the Dr yesterday and after feeling my belly she guesstimated over 7.5 lbs.
 

Weight gain? 35lbs yikes...

Maternity clothes? I wear sweat shorts, t-shirts, yoga capris, flip flops, dresses and/or a maxi skirt everyday.

Stretchmarks? When my mom was in town I was bragging to her that I didn't have any stretch marks still, as I was saying this I lifted up my shirt to show her, looked in the mirror and saw one on the under side of my belly. SO heartbreaking! I also have a few from last time around my belly button

Sleep? Whats that? The last few nights I haven't been able to fall asleep for hours. I will lie there thinking about 5 million things, wide awake, Baby Sister is the most active when I lie down too, last night she was going crazy! For hours! She's never been so active, it hurt, she was stretching and pushing into my ribs and hips.

Best moment this week? Hearing her heartbeat, hearing that I'm progressing nicely (now 2.5 cm 60% thinned and a "very soft cervix") The Dr even said, that would be great if she was born on Memorial day! Yes it would! But I'm not banking on it. Our pool opened and Phillip Phillips won American Idol!

 
Movement? Like I said before, she hasn't been a very active baby (compared to Violet) but last night she was on one! As for me, I definitely have the pregnant waddle.

Food cravings? Lately I've been wanting baked goods. Violet and I made banana bread this morning and had almost half a loaf (8x4 inch pan) with Violet's help. Popsicles and ice cream and as always sauces/condiments. Particularly mustard.

Bellybutton? Have a hernia but it hasn't bothered me lately, flat.

Labor signs? Contractions all day long, nothing serious. Back aches which I keep thinking are back labor.

What I miss? My family. It's been hard having Violet everyday all alone, wanting me to play with her on the floor, play with chalk outside, etc. I just feel guilty, I've been lazy and let her watch 2-3 shows in the morning instead of the usual one episode of Umi Zoomi. Or when I'm not being lazy I'm cleaning and nesting around the house. I feel bad because she just follows me around like a little puppy. My mom comes Wed. or Thurs. (unless she needs to come sooner!) and it could NOT come fast enough. 

I also miss being thin and being able to do things that you can't do with a pregnant belly. I keep having dreams that I'm still pregnant but that I don't have a belly, when I turn side ways my stomach is flat and I look great! Oh I can't wait for that day again.

What I am looking forward to? Meeting miss Elsie (we'll see if that's really her name! It is for now) and even more so, watching Violet meet her Baby Sis for the first time.

Seeing as I could have this babe any day, I wanted to post pictures of Violet in case this is the last time I blog.

 We have been anxiously awaiting the opening of our pool! Yesterday that day came, with no time to spare we headed out today!

 This is what Violet does when she says "cheese" now, gotta love the pose!

 My sweet chubba nubbins is no longer chubby. She's getting so tall and skinny, but still has her booty.
