37 Weeks + 100th Post


Baby Size: 18.9" to 20.9 " and 6.2 to 9.2 lbs (about the size of a winter melon) 
Fun Facts: We've reached the full term mark!  Baby keeps practicing inhaling, exhaling, sucking, gripping and blinking.  Also gaining about 0.5 ounces each day (YIKES)!
How far along: 37 Weeks (T-16 days)
Gender: Unknown to Mama and everyone else (based on every ones predictions, it looks like pink might be in our future!)
Weight gain: I officially hit the 30 lb mark .. uh oh!
Maternity clothes: All maternity now - there's no turning back!
Stretch Marks: No
Belly button in or out: Definitely out, sometimes I think it might burst :O
Sleep: OK, just lots and lots of tossing and turning!
Best moment this week: Lots of walks and fun dates with my little man
Miss anything: Not really
Movement: TONS, lots and lots of jabs and kicks and punches
Cravings: Anything sweet, but is that really considered a craving, because I ALWAYS want something sweet!
Queasy or sick: Heartburn is at an all time high. I'm now waking up in the middle of the night to take Tums :(
Looking forward to: A haircut and pedicure on the 29th … if baby stays put until then!

I've consistently been 1cm dilated since week 35, but no changes since.  Baby is head down which is a good thing and could potentially come any day now!  If baby hasn't arrived before August 12th, we have officially set our date with the hospital to induce on the 12th. It's crazy how quickly everything has gone by and how close we are to meeting our little bambino!!

For all that have been asking - the name wall has been revealed!  We are 100% settled on a girls name (sorry to leave you guessing!!), but the boy's name is still up in the air!  We may have to wait until birth for a name if it's a boy, because we just can't decide :/

I also find it hard to believe this is my 100th post :)  It may not seem like a lot, but I'm so glad I've at least kept up with it while working full time and being a mama and wife all at the same time!  Here's to hoping for more frequent posts …. maybe!!

How cute is this comparison? It's so surreal to remember when Cade was that little :O  Soon we will have a new tiny little butt to fill those cute diapers!



I've been trying to spend as much one on one time with this little guy as possible before the new baby arrives.  Can you believe that we went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, and mama didn't even have donut?!?!?  I know, crazy right??  Here's to having 2 days off this upcoming week that might possibly be full of donuts and sweet treats :)

Stretch Marks: No

Looking forward to: Indulging myself in the homestretch!!


This kid has been an absolute blast lately!  He is a little ball of energy, which can be exhausting, but we wouldn't take it any other way.  He was loving this chair a friend of ours had out at a garage sale - although a little big for it, he was definitely relaxing and enjoying the vibration and music!  He loves to read books, give the kitties kisses, play outside and loves drawing with chalk outside and inside on his chalkboard.  We are so excited to see him as a big brother - We think he's going to be absolutely loving, caring and protective of this new little one :)
