(Sorry no bump pictures this week…)

How far along are you? 37 weeks (Full Term)

Size of Baby:  baby is as long as a stalk of swiss chard

Favorite Maternity clothes this week? Dresses (it’s been summer weather all week)

Stretch marks? No

How’s your Sleep?  Good but I’ve been getting up 1-5x/night to use the restroom.

Favorite moment this week?  I’m officially full term!  And of course the time alone I’ve spent with Bode before he becomes a big brother.  I have been sending him to daycare 3 days/week and 2 days/week with me.   About 2 ½ weeks (or less) till we meet Allyson.

Do you miss anything?  My clothes

Do you have any Food cravings?  Sweets

Anything making you Nauseas? No

Mood?  Good!  I’ve had a really relaxing and also productive week for my first week off from work. 

What are you looking forward to? Just having the next few weeks off and keeping this birthdate ‘planned’.  As of right now, Allyson’s birth-date is 5-21-13 (my scheduled C-section date) and I’m hoping that it stays that way so I can relax and get everything ready around the house.

And finally the nursery is complete (The first picture is our ‘before’ shot with our paper window coverings hehe)…

I still plan on hanging a canvas print on the wall in between the two windows, hopefully we can get some good shots at our newborn shoot of my 2 babies… and I still think I might end up converting this into the playroom once we transition Ally to the real crib and Bode into a big bed (vs. the toddler bed) but for now this should work really well as we welcome our newborn home!
