#38!

How far along? 38 weeks and day 3! (:

Due Date: July 23, 2012, fingers crossed for sooner!

Total weight gain: 18 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Nope, still in my clothes. Mainly comfy t-shirts and comfy shorts, all day every day!

Stretch marks? No....hoping to ring it on home without them! 

Sleep: It takes me a while to get to sleep at night, but I sleep tremendously for naps! (: 

Miss Anything? Nothing that I'd trade for this whole experience. It's temporary and with anything I miss, it's good to remember that "This too shall pass" Let's hope I can remember that very thing in labor! haha. But I do miss being skinny in my little bikini! I have a whole year to get it back for next summer! (:

Movement: He loves to keep mommy up at night tossing and turning. Also, loooves getting up at 5am with daddy!  The fourth of July fireworks had her jumping around in there!

Food cravings: Not a whole lot other than my usual foods I eat all the time.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not a thing

Gender: Baby Boy

Symptoms: Hips and lower back hurt when I first get out of bed. If I am in a sitting position for more than 10 minutes, my lower back and right side of my back hurts. I was also notifiedby my wonderful father that apparently I'm now waddling, and getting HUGE, which I suppose would be a symptom. 

Belly Button: Out and seems like I'm hitting it on everything which HURTS!

Happy or Moody: Happy :) ..although my 38 week appointment was a bummer!

Pregnancy Pet Peeve: After my appointment, not being dilated! :/ Also, not being able to settle on a name!!!

Best Moment this Week:  Getting everything in place for when he arrives!

Looking forward to: Meeting our little boy, and having him meet all our family and friends! He definitely will be loved! He will be here so soon, I can't even really wrap my mind around it. It's been a great experience for both of us and the rest of my family.

Well, we have a few names picked out and wanna know some thoughts....

• Kasen/Kason Michael
• Aiden Michael
• Kaiden Michael
• Brantlee/Brantley Michael

Paiiin! (sorry i thought i posted this)

I am now 37 weeks 5 days.

I had my weekly appointment Tuesday, he didn't check me, (I'm not for sure why?) But hopefully at my next appointment he will and I hope for some news! 'Cause, everyday I am getting more and more uncomfortable and miserable! My hips/groin/back/stomach everything is miserable, especially when I walk. It takes me forever to get up from sitting down or lying down. I have to pee every 20 min.

Quick & Short!

Had my weekly doctor appointment today, went good! They did a Group B test, checked to see where Baby McEachrons head is; his head is RIIIGHT there! Now, its time to play the waiting game! 

Still haven't came up with a set name yet! (i know, i know) 

Fifty Shades of Grey Update: In Chapter 8! Hoping to finish it by Thursday evening/Friday morning! Its definitely an interesting book! haha.

Gettin' antsy...

This weather has been killin' me! Also, has made me realize that I am 100% done being pregnant!I have started to make a complaining list to Tyler.

1) I had tons of heartburn/acid reflux towards the end of last week. (its finally gone now, thank you Zantac!)

2) The back pain...dont even want to get started!

3) The Heat. It should be illegal for a pregnant woman to walk outside in this.

Believe me i could go on and on!

Today I went to the hospital where I will be delivering (Overland Park Regional) for a Pre-Admissions appointment! Got a lot of papers on information! When Baby McEachron is born he will have a hearing test, Hepatitis B Vaccine, and he will be circumcised. They also have a photographer that goes around all day. (www.Our365.com) :)

Overland Park Regional has awesome safety measures! Immediately after Baby McEachron is born, identical ID bracelets will be put on him, Tyler, and Myself... but ALSO, Baby McEachron will have an electronic security bracelet! That bracelet will cause exit doors to lock and alert all nurses and security any time the baby is brought within a certain distance of that exit!

Vistors are welcome from 10am to 8:30pm. There is FREE Valet Parking at the main entrance from 7am to 4pm!

I believe Baby McEachron, Tyler, and I will all be taken great care of there!

Tonight, going to start reading 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. Kinda excited since everyone is reading it and the ones I have talked to haven't been able to put it down! 

Countin' down the days! (:

We absolutely can not wait for our little guy to be here!(especially me, starting to get VERYYY uncomfortable) We had our last 2 week Doctor appointment yesterday, and everything went perfect! Now the real fun begins, going every week!

Tyler and I are so blessed with such amazing family and friends! We want to thank you for all the love and support though this all. Thank you for all the advice and wishes!
