Sky Top Apple Orchard

Fall is such a great time of the year!  Last Saturday, my family went to Sky Top Apple Orchard to enjoy the nice weather.  Here are some pictures of our fun day!

Winston loves apples!  He was in heaven!

I have had three very unique and special baby showers which have overwhelmed me and caused me to be a very thankful soon to be mom!  Here are some pictures from each one!

38 Week Update

Less than two weeks to go until my due date of September 25th!

How far along?  38 weeks and two days

Belly button in or out?  very shallow but not completely out :)  Hope it stays that way!

Rings on or off?  Off.  I bought a gorgeous fake wedding band at Target that is substituting until my rings can make their way back home to my finger!

Food Cravings?  Krispy Kreme doughnuts and milk, apple juice

Food Aversions?  Zaxby's chicken.....it just seems so unhealthy at this point

How do I feel physically?  My hands and feet are swollen a little bit.  It bothers me but everyone says that they can't tell.  Sometimes when I am walking it feels like it did after a day of teaching and standing on your feet all day and then staying on your feet for PTA night.....and all in heels.  I am not sleeping very well at night so I get tired a lot during the day.  Then when it is time to go to bed I can't fall asleep!  I have had some pressure down below and sciatic nerve pain.

Weight gain?  The doctors say I am right where I am supposed to be:)  I don't know why everyone thinks they have the right to ask how much weight you have gained when you are pregnant.  You would never ask a woman that when she isn't pregnant.  I think it might be the generation but, both my sweet grandmothers ask that question all the time!

My Mood?  Good I hope!

Size of baby?  All I know is that last week my belly was measuring exactly 37 weeks.  I go to the doc. tomorrow and I am going to ask if they can tell me anything more.  It will probably just be a guess on their part if they do say.

Next appointment?  Tomorrow, Tuesday, is my next appointment.  They will check me to see if anything is happening and I'll let you know!  I am excited to see if my body has started the process of labor.  We shall see!
