Baby Bumpdate: Week 37

This one has to be quick. I haven't had time to get on here and get this written up. Before I start I would like to ask you to pray for Hubby's family. Grandpa isn't doing well and we aren't sure what is going on. We need prayers for the doctors to figure out what is going on but also for strength for all of us that are helping Grandma and Grandpa through the process. Right now he is in the hospital so they can try and figure out what is wrong.

OK now for Goose!


How far along? 
37 Weeks!

How big is baby? He's about 19 1/2 inches and almost 7 pounds.

Weight gain? Midwife said it's normal and good!

Maternity Clothes? Of course. Maternity pictures today!

Stretch Marks? Nothing new.

Sleep? I'm waking up about every 2 hours and having to switch positions but I'm actually feeling pretty rested except for last night with M being in the ER with Grandpa until after midnight. I'm feeling exhausted today!

Best Moment this Week? Watching Monkey have fun with his cousins on the 4th of July! He loved having them come down and playing in the sandbox and getting spoiled on sugar!

Movement? He's slowing down on how much he is moving, mostly during the day. Last night he moved around like crazy and I couldn't sleep because of it. He hasn't done that in awhile.

Food Cravings? I'm really not craving anything. This past weekend I kept seeing spaghetti on TV and it looked so good. Of course when I cooked it at home it wasn't as good as I was anticipating.

Labor Signs? No signs of labor yet but I am 1 cm dilated and he's at -2 station. So it could be soon or another week. 

Belly Button In or Out? In.

What I Miss? I'm not sure what I miss right now. What's more on my mind is what I'm going to miss once he is here. Being my last time being pregnant (unless God changes Hubby's heart towards having more kids) I'm really sad to see it end.

Weekly Wisdom? It sticks to not know when he is coming. It's very stressful to try and make plans that are very important but say, "I might have to cancel with you because I could go into labor at any time." 

Milestones? I'm considered full term! Ya! If Goose does come really soon his lungs are strong enough to survive out in this world!

Next Appointment? Tuesday! They will be checking me again to see if I am making any progress on the dilating front. Because they are concerned about my silent labor they want to make sure that I'm checked every week so we know how close I'm getting and so I know what to be looking for so I don't have Goose at home or in the car trying to get to the hospital. 

I'm going to try and get a photo up but not sure if it will happen today. Check back tomorrow after I have a chance to get it up!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that.  In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
