Matt and I made an exciting, and yet uneventful, trip up to the hospital yesterday after I started having regular contractions. Turns out -- just contractions. Baby isn't ready just yet -- or at least I'm not! Hopefully we'll see some progress at today's doctor's appointment since I've been having the contractions for almost 24 hours now!
In other baby news...the nursery is done!! SOO excited. We got the name letters this past week and hung them up...aren't they adorable??
The letters match the bedding that we got for Matty. Gotta love Etsy!! :-)
It is FINALLY warm enough to play in the pool! Water temperature got up to 85 this week, which was delightful. I just floated around...being weightless was a welcome relief!!!
So where do we stand??
How far along? 38 weeks
How big is baby? Watermelon (19-22 inches, 7 lbs) -- yep, I could have told you he was watermelon-sized
Sleep: Somehow I'm getting more than I think! I think I got a solid 5 hours last night!! :-)
Best Moment this Week: Thinking yesterday was the day -- but then that was kinda a disappointment
Movement: He's a very active one (not that I have anything to compare it to)
Food cravings: None
Food aversions: None
Pregnancy symptoms:
Reflux is getting less -- I think it's because he's dropped. But my feet are pretty swollen to the point my flip flop straps leave indentions in them
Belly button in or out? In,
but it's fighting it
What I miss: Wearing my wedding rings...it's a small thing, but they mean so much to me
What I'm looking forward to: Baby Wooley's arrival
Upcoming appointments/events: Doctor's appointment today -- hopefully we have some progress

Weekly wisdom: I wouldn't call it wisdom, just a note to everyone else...yes, life is going to change. But do we need to hear that on a daily basis? I'm not sure who thinks having another person that is completely dependent on you wouldn't change your life. But still, everyone is like -- "you know life will never be the same! Life as you know it is about to change drastically!" Ummm...I hope so!!! That's kinda why we wanted to have a baby -- to add to our family and turn the page on the next chapter of our lives!!
Milestones: We made it to June! He can come any day now!!
Coming next time: Hopefully a baby announcement??
