38 Weeks! ♥

Wow, another week down and only 2-ish more to go! I'm so ready for her to come whenever. lol I don't know how my belly continues to grow when I feel stretched out to the max as is. We're making headway with the nursery. All of her clothes & bedding are washed. I'm kinda worried I don't have enough tiny clothes to fit her. :( The doctors think she's going to be tiny and some of the newborn clothes I have I think will swallow her, but I guess we'll wait and see. I've been feeling rounder lately and based on this week's pic, I look very round, too. haha I don't know if it's a growth spurt, if she's laying weird, or if the camera angle is different but this week's belly pic makes my belly look like a basketball. haha My doctor visit went well this week. My OB/GYN was on call so I got to see her again. :) She checked me and confirmed again that Emily is super low. She said that's a good thing because it helps to soften my cervix so I'm hoping that means a quick delivery like my mom had. lol She mentioned most babies take coaxing to get down that low so it's good that she's already there. I'm still not dilated any so I guess Emily is content where she is for now.

37 Weeks! ♥

I'm officially full-term! That is so crazy to me! She could come any day now if she wanted to. :) I started my weekly visits to the doctor this week. They did my strep B test but I haven't heard the results yet. The doctor did confirm that she's head down and very low, which I figured since she's been low this entire time. I also have not dilated any, which is good I guess. So another great appt. The nursery is coming along nicely, but it's still not done. lol That's the goal this weekend. Last weekend I finally got her clothes into piles to wash and had no idea she had so much clothes already! I can't wait to dress her up in all the cute clothes!



35 vs. 37 weeks comparison. I haven't gained weight in the past 2 weeks so it's surprising to see how much she's grown in 2 weeks. :)
