37 Weeks

Well I completely missed my 36 week post. Time is really getting away from me. With Thanksgiving behind us, we are in full baby mode. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for his arrival, but lately I've just been so overwhelmed. We did finish the nursery this weekend, I washed his baby clothes, I packed his bag, bought some new pajamas for me to take to the hospital. I do need a few more items, but overall I'm technically ready to go.

I'm feeling a flood of emotions right now. On the one hand, I'm so done being pregnant. My body just hurts all over and I'm just so tired. But I'm feeling very anxious about the c-section, bringing a new baby home, taking care of a newborn again in general, balancing my time between two kids who need me in different ways. I'm worried about Hannah and how she will act towards her little brother. There are just a lot of unknowns right now. I think the first few months we are just going to be in survival mode. We'll get through it. I pray that he's an easy baby :)

Here’s what’s happening in Week 37:

Weight Loss/Gain? Over 30, ugh!

Cravings: Not too much. Feeling stuffed without eating anything.

Miss Anything? Sleep. I have major insomnia issues.
 
Gender: BOY!!! Hudson Jacob Hughes

Favorite Moment this Week: Thanksgiving, putting up Christmas decor and finishing Hudson's room.
 
Sleeping: Not good.
 
Stretch Marks? They finally came out. I have a few unsightly marks. Boo :(

Labor Signs? A few contractions here and there. Some pressure, but he's still really high so I'm pretty sure he's staying put for now.

Clothes: Duh.

Baby Movement: He's a mover still. He's constantly on my left side.

Most looking forward to: Meeting this sweet boy soon. We are scheduled for Dec 18th. So in 16 days or less he will be here. Eeek!!!
