36 weeks


Baby size? Little miss is measuring on the "petite" side as the doctor put it. She is currently measuring around the 38th percentile and if I make it to term she will most likely top the scale at around 7lbs.
Total weight gain? 30 lbs ... eeek! ;)
Maternity clothes? Best thing about being pregnant in the heat of the summer, maxi dresses! I have had to buy minimal maternity clothes because of maxi dresses, best thing ever!
Miss anything? Being able to breath without sounding like someone who just got done running a marathon when all I have done is gone up the stairs.
Movement? She has started to be more active at night again. Thinking this one is going to keep me on my toes at night once she arrives.
Symptoms? Contractions. Heartburn - oooh, the heartburn! Physical and mental exhaustion. Constant need to pee!!!
Belly button in or out? Still an innie!
Wedding ring on or off? On.
Sleep? What's that? My body is re-training me for all the sleepless nights that await. Oy vey! 

Best moment this week? Going to my weekly appointment and realizing that I am only 4 weeks out from getting to love on my baby girl!!!
Exercise? Nada.
Cravings? Virgin Pina Coladas like nobody's business.
Happy or Moody? The tears have been flowing freely lately. Hormones are making me cry at everything, both happy and sad! 

Looking forward to? Getting anxious to meet our girl! Come on Nellie!!!
Thank you! Everything in me says "thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: "thank you!". Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength. - Psalm 138:2

Maternity Shoot

So excited for these sweet maternity pictures. We are just months away from meeting our newest girl and we are all over the moon. There were so many "what if's" in the beginning of my pregnancy in regards to it being a viable one, along with other pregnancy scares that it feels so good to have come this far. I am so thankful that our girl is growing well and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. Love you my sweet Nell.
