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!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
