Full term!

Can you tell the boys are excited to meet their little sibling (and that Blake copies everything Jameston does? :-) 
How Far Along? 37 weeks yesterday! Baby will be here in less than two weeks!! I am trying to soak up everything about being pregnant at this point!
Maternity Clothes? Duh. And I'm at the stage where I've outgrown some of my tops! Hard to cover this belly!! Thus, long tunics are a go-to piece these days (and hopefully I don't stretch them out where I can still wear them next year :-) 

Weight Gain? 30-ish lbs. Bring it on, seriously. When will I have the excuse to eat what I want/when I want again?

Gender?  ???!! Little Elise or Will!

Sleep? Harder to come by these days. Tossing and turning these nights, trying to get comfortable, and trying not to think about all the stuff running through my mind! 

Food Cravings? Anything with cinnamon. And salads! Not together, of course.

Movements? Oh yeah, baby's head is down and his/her feet are in my ribs quite a bit! Again, soaking it up! But...I am at the point of being pretty uncomfortable. Feels like he or she is trying to dive out sometimes!

Symptoms? Heartburn still. And just this week, swelling of my hands and ankles. Ugh. Thank goodness it's a cooler time of year!

Best Moment(s) of the Week?: Being with my boys. When I told them baby brother or sister will be here in two weeks, these were their reactions:


















Haha, seriously though. It is tax/busy season, and Brett is working 12-15 hour days (12 on the weekends :-) Poor guy! So between work and being on my own at home with these two, I am tired. But I am so blessed and thankful for this life!

What I am looking forward to: My mother-in-law ever-so graciously offered to come and get the boys for a few days, to give me some "me" time. A "calm before the storm," so you'd say? I've got a pedicure and massage planned, appointments scheduled, and lunch/dinner dates booked with good friends and my handsome hubby (oh, and some final nesting around the house), while our oldest two soak up some grandparent time! They're pretty awesome!

Oh, and be on the lookout for a "Gender Prediction" post!
