36 Weeks

Let the countdown begin!!  23 days and counting!!!  =)  This has been quite an exciting and fun journey, but I'm ready to meet out little guy!!

 

Quick update from my latest doctor appointment this past Friday:  Doc is predicting Peyton weighs around 8 pounds already!  Knowing that my mom had to have a c-section, the doctor is hoping Peyton comes within the next WEEK OR TWO!!!  This is all because we know he's not going to get any smaller as the weeks go by.  Here's to hoping the little guy cooperates with the plan.  =)  This Thursday will be 37 weeks, which is FULL TERM!!  After that I say bring it on!!  It's all up to God's perfect timing at this point and when he wants to bring this angel into our world.  CANNOT WAIT!!



How far along?  36 weeks

This week's highlights:  Not much new going on this week.  Everything is pretty much in place and ready, aside from the digestion system which will continue to develop over the coming months as typical with all babies.  He's supposedly still gaining about a 1/2 pound a week and preparing for birth (resting more, moving lower in my tummy, etc.).

Stretch marks? Still none! Thank goodness!

Best moment this week:  Getting another great doctor report and finding out I may meet our sweet little man sooner than expected!!!

Miss Anything?  Normal clothes - can't wait to get back to my norm again.  Sushi.  Wine.  Turkey sub from Publix.  
Movement: All the time!

Food cravings:   Girl Scout cookies (samoas and thin mints) and asian salad from Panera.  I had the salad 3 times this week!  I think that moves it to the 'craving' category.  I suppose craving a salad balances out the Girl Scout cookies?  =)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope :)

Belly Button in or out? I would definitely say out now. That sucker better pop back in as soon as this is over!
Happy or Moody most of the time:  So happy!  Pretty much everything is set and in place.  We finished up our baby classes.  Now, we just sit, wait, and enjoy our last few days/weeks as a family of two before sweet Peyton joins us.  =)   

Looking forward to:  Meeting Peyton!  It's so close and could be even sooner possibly!  The excitement and anticipation really hit Brad and I this weekend when we both realized we're really ready now.  Everything is done, hospital bags are packed, etc.  We absolutely cannot wait!!
