38 week chalkboard

Hi sweet little baby,

The countdown to D-Day is on! Less than two weeks to go and this mama is starting to go a little stir crazy waiting for you!

How far along: 38 weeks + 1 day

Gender: Little baby girl <3
Name: Waverley Violet
Maternity clothes: I have to laugh about this....some of my tank tops don't fit over my belly!
Best moment this week: Spending time with Pemberley before she's not an only child anymore. I constantly wonder what will go through her head when she sees Waverley for the first time. (My money is on something like, "Oh! A big new aaaaattttt!").

Worst moment this week: Everyone getting sick in our house. First it hit Raleigh, then it hit Pemberley, and I've been trying to ward it off with Mucinex and Emergen-C. The LAST thing I want to do is think about being sick and going into labor.

Miss anything: This week it's a toss up between sleeping on my tummy, and having a stronger immune system.

Movements: Yes, and they're getting more uncomfortable the bigger she gets. Baby girl is running out of wiggle room!

Cravings: Still crushed ice. And pancakes. And pears.

Queasy or sick: Unrelated to pregnancy, but yes. Sick. Blah.

Looking forward to: The usual...water breaking...labor...delivery....

Wedding rings on or off: Seriously, I'm doing something right this go around. Normal ankles, normal fingers. I have this pregnancy thing on point!

Belly button in or out: Tickled pink that I have an outtie for a few more weeks!!!
Stretch marks: Not so much. Whatever I saw last week is gone.
Labor signs: I seriously thought I was going into labor on Thursday. I had super strong contractions, but not at regular enough intervals to go to the hospital. They finally died down a little after midnight, so I think I'm just (finally) gearing up for pre-labor!! Strangely enough, my sleep has also gotten better this week, although I'm wondering if it's because my body is getting ready for the big day, or if it's because I'm wearing myself out waaay more quickly than I used to...

That's all for now, sweet little baby girl. I really can't believe we'll be welcoming you in less than two weeks! I'll finally be able to stop wondering what you look like, and what your little personality will be! I'm so excited!!!

With so much love (and a lot of anticipation!),
