Circumference of belly: 42 1/2
Best moment this week: Resting. Truth be told, I am really not excited to go back to work next week. I wish I could just stay home, do things around the house, and wait for this baby to come but I don't want to waste a minute of my maternity leave sitting at home. I want to save all the time I have for being with Alexander. Really hoping these last few weeks go by quickly!
Worst moment this week: Just being constantly uncomfortable. Sitting, standing, sleeping, walking, etc. I have had (or at least I think) a very easy pregnancy and have loved every minute of it but I am seriously ready to just get this show on the road already!
Labor signs: I can't believe it is time to add this to the blog. CRAZY SAUCE! I am 99% sure I had my first contraction the other day. I was driving and got this crazy pain that started in my lower back and wrapped around to my lower abdomen. It reminded me of having cramps. It lasted about a minute and then subsided. Definitely something I have never felt before.

Miss anything: Sitting without having to adjust my position every 5 minutes.
Movement: He still loves my left side. I only ever feel hiccups on my lower right side. We will know very soon what position he is in.
Sleep: Sleep? What's that?
Food cravings: I really wanted cantaloupe the other day and definitely polished off a whole melon in a day. I did have some help from Dan. Milk is still something I want daily. I also had a serious craving for ice cream the other night. I have never really been a die hard sweets fan but this was serious. Dan couldn't even believe it but he didn't question it and immediately took me to Freddy's =)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Baby purchases: Hospital bag is packed and ready to go. Now we are just playing the waiting game (insert song from Jeopardy here).
Symptoms: Just the usual...also been getting over some nasty allergies. The nasal rinse (Neilmed) is seriously my bff and the best invention ever. This has kept me from having to be on antibiotics. Preggo or not if you want to escape a trip to the doctor do this daily.
Belly button in or out: Flat
Wedding rings on or off: On
Looking forward to: We have an appointment this Tuesday. We will be going once a week from then on until Alex is here. Let the countdown begin!
Now about this picture. As my husband would say "here's the deal"...This was at 8 a.m. and I was more concerned about getting to HEB before it got insanely busy than I was about taking this picture. My face is puffy and I am exhausted so a profile shot it was. Just focus on the belly.
