37 weeks pregnant! Wow!
How Far Along: 37 weeks & 4 Days
Sleep: Still loading up on my rest. It's not my typical schedule
since I wake up around 4, then again around 6 am, and then fall asleep
around 10 am. Crazy! Although, I am trying to get in as much now to
prepare myself for sweet Vann!
This Week: It has been a good/tough week and a busy weekend! The
one coming up is full of excitement as well! Ryan and I got in a date
night with Ashley and Drew! It was so good to see them. I helped host a
great mixer on Friday night. Saturday was jam packed. I got another
basket of fruit and veggies from Bountiful Basket early around 8 am,
then headed for my last dress fitting for Kayla and Will's wedding.
James Douglas' first birthday party was next. He was so happy on his big
day. Malorie did a great job planning. Next, it was off to McKenzie and
Sean's baby shower with yummy food and fun games. Ryan sent me a
picture and it made me so excited. He put the bookshelves up! They are
so cute! That evening it wasn't quite as fun since we were off to the
funeral home for Ryan's great-grandmother's visitation. Lucille Jordan
was a beautiful woman with an even more amazing spirit. She will be
missed for sure. Sunday was church and the funeral. Needless to say, my
feet, legs, and hands became swollen because of the busy schedule. Thank
God for Rehydrate.
They were back to normal on Sunday evening. FOR THE RECORD: People who
feel the need to point out that they notice my feet are swollen are
RUDE! I wanted to respond, "Really, I had no idea my feet were puffy!"
Monday night we enjoyed dinner with our small group and received gifts,
cupcakes, and Vann's first Bible with his name etched in the front. So
very sweet! Tuesday I was spoiled! I got my hair done for the last time
before Vann comes. Carrie always makes me feel so refreshed. Then, Erin,
Abby, and I went to get our nails done. Wednesday was a not-so-good day
and I won't go into detail, but it was just one of those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days
and I am glad it's over. Thursday was a bit more doable because Ryan
and I got to spend time together and I saw friends at a mixer. We even
installed the carseat...it's getting real! I am glad it's Friday and
Kayla will be getting married tomorrow!
What I am looking forward to: I can't wait to see the nursery
finished! It's going to be precious. I also feel ready for labor and
delivery because I know at the end of it will be our healthy baby boy!
- weight gain: 31 lbs
- stretch marks: none yet!
- mood: happy with a side of stress to get everything done!
- belly button: the bottom is poking out just a bit!
- wedding rings: yep!
Vann,
You are worth every good and bad time because you are bringing such joy
to Daddy and I. This morning, I folded up some more of your clothes and
can't believe how small you will be. I think Lyla knows you are getting
close to arrival because she goes into your room each morning and
checks on everything. She will be your best friend. You have lots of
people that are so excited to meet you, give you hugs, and tell you
stories. It's almost time and you are going to change our lives
forever!
Love you little man!
