It started just a few weeks ago, very mild and just with some basic household chores. Now we are in full blown throw everything away, rearrange and redecorate mode! I can't help myself! Nesting is REAL!
I even convinced Brian to let me reorganize his whole office. He's so good, he just says yes and plays along and let's me feel satisfied in my organizing and purging, EVEN when they are his things. We transformed his office area/man cave/junk collecting room into a space with a changing table, chair, couch and room to grow into a play area. It works out really well. Oh and did I mention, we also bought a couch, because why not add one more thing into the excitement in the house!
My update on LBP this week is basic. We had our first weekly appointment last week and have another coming up on Wednesday. Baby is head down, great heart rate and getting ready for take off! No measurements or estimates have been made but I will be sure to update when they are. We are taking a breastfeeding class this week and our last childbirth class as well. The rest is in the hands of the baby!
How far along: 37 weeks 3 days and cookin!
Size of the baby: According to the BUMP app. LBP is as a big as a Winter Melon, weighing in between 6.2 - 9.2 lbs and 18.9 - 20.9 in.
Gender: Still a surprise! But the BabyHunch is still open and ready for your predictions! They have been so fun to read.
How do you feel? Still feeling great! Yes, Braxton Hicks have been coming and going and sleep is less and less but my energy is still up and I don't yet feel "ready to get this baby out."
Eating/Cravings: Eating: I'll pretty much eat anything but meat! It just does not sound good to me at all. But put some breakfast food or pastries in front of me and I'm a happy camper. Craving: Unfortunately, I have been really enjoying a diet Coke here and there, so not my usual but I've been good about only having one when I'm at a restaurant.
Miss anything? It was 70* on Saturday and Sunday and all I could think about was enjoying an alcoholic beverage on a patio with B and the little babe. I can't WAIT for those soon-to-be days.
General mood: So Excited and So Anxious! This "any day now" business is not for my type A personality.
Fears: The obvious pain that is about to take over my body and the basic unknown. But I am mostly trying to stay positive and talk through it all with B.
Sleep: Luckily I don't usually have a problem falling back to sleep after the 5-7 pee breaks I take a night!
Workouts: I'm still working out at least 3-5 times a week. The ladies keep me motivated and I am hoping this extra effort will really pay off during the recovery phase!
Things I am looking forward to: Meeting LBP so soon, my parents getting into town safely, hanging some special baby room items and our last few house projects!
Shout out to my baby daddy: The car seat is installed and inspected and the bags are packed and by the door! Brian has been on top of it all and even insists on driving me to all of my work meetings, just to be safe! He's so excited and this week he's going to get some diaper practice, swaddle practice and feeding! I will be sure to take pictures for next weeks update.
