37 Weeks – and full term!

So now she’s allowed to come whenever she wants, because we’ve reached “full term” – woo hoo! So she could be born tomorrow or in another 5 weeks. Kind of a long time frame when you think about it… I’m hoping she comes before I become an angry/frustrated pregnant lady saying things like, “Have I ever NOT been pregnant in my life?” or “I’m just going to be pregnant forever.” Right now I’m a bit uncomfy and feeling like I’ve run out of room in my body, but other than that, hanging in there.

I’m kind of in a daze though – I feel like I have hundreds of things to do, but can’t focus on any of them. Makes the days go by in a blur.

Also, I am SO thankful for these dresses that I have! They’re not maternity dresses – just knit dresses I bought a couple years ago from Forever21, but the empire waist is perfect for pregnancy, and they are so lightweight and cool – and sleeveless. I have a blue one, green, purple, and pink. I wear them a LOT. Though I have to admit, through most mornings I wander around in my underwear and maybe a t-shirt I stole from my husband, or a tank-top. It’s just so hot and my body is so big… clothes just aren’t high on my list of priorities right now.

Really looking forward to soaking in my kiddie pool tomorrow! – that is, after a lunch date with a friend. Mmm…cheeseburgers.

    Thats hilarious! For mine it just kind of flattened. My kids liked to make fun of it, it looked like a star!!!!!!!!! I guess my belly button is really deep, lol!

    You're absolutely right, and I thought of that too! :) These dresses are the best!

    Isn't the belly button thing weird? It's not 100% popped OUT though – it's like an O shape or a volcano or something – still has a hole. It's so weird!

    Aww thank you. :)
    The timing is strange for me – it feels really fast and slow at the same time, somehow.

    Oh my goodness. I feel like you just told us you were pregnant! And you make pregnancy look so good, I'm jealous, hahaha.

    Woohoo for a full term baby! *cheers*

    Looks like it will be a wonderful breastfeeding dress as well (with the crossover, look at you!)
