My Wiggly Lil' Lady & Other Random News

It is really hard to balance a laptop on your belly when your baby is constantly kicking and wiggling. I love her squirminess though. I hope it means that she's just as ready to make her appearance as I am ready to meet her and hold her in my arms! I am 37 weeks 1 day today and am so ready to have my little girl with me! I packed our hospital bags yesterday and we had our weekly appointment yesterday. The CNM {certified nurse midwife} surprised us with a quick ultrasound to double check that our little lady is head down. {She is! And has been since around 28 weeks} It was a 3D ultrasound and although we didn't get any good pictures we did get to see our little girl wiggling and opening and closing her little mouth. She had her little fist up by her mouth and she kicked the ultrasound thing while they were moving it around on my belly. It was AMAZING! And she already looks like she has cute chunky cheeks and possibly some adorably huge lips! It was the coolest ultrasound we have had! It just made me even more excited to meet her. As hard as I try to convince myself that there is a very high likelihood that she will be late I just can't  help but want her to come now! I guess we'll just wait and see what she/my body decides! So there's a quick update. In other news I am spending lots of time in the swimming pool and hanging out with my family and sisters-in-law. Race has started his new job {out of training} and works three twelve hour days and then has four days off. It's an interesting schedule but one that we're hoping will allow him to have the time to find a different job in possibly a different place that he would enjoy more. {If you hear of anything send us an email! He's willing to do just about anything that would support our little growing family. And we are willing and would love to move just about anywhere! emsmilesss {at} gmail {dot} com} Anyway, that's life lately. Surviving the summer, trying to survive the end of pregnancy, figuring out new jobs and schedules, hanging out with family, and constantly trying to figure out where we will be headed next! I hope everyone is having a happy Thursday and I'll leave you with a picture of le perfectly round bump {This picture cracks me up}.


Breakdown:
Maternity tank top: Target $6 
Cardigan: Old Navy $5
Belt: Came with some other shirt
Skirt: Made by me ~$5

Oh, and how awesome is Fry's? Thank you for not making me walk as far in this ridiculous heat with my ridiculously huge belly!

  6. Seeing as I am rather petite like you, it sort of makes me terrified/excited that that's what I'll look like while I'm growing a baby.

    It looks like you are doing great though. Looking forward to pictures of your little lady. :)
