How far along? 38 weeks. Our baby is now the size of a pumpkin.
Total weight gain/loss: 21 lbs
Sleep: Sleep? What is that?!

Best moment this week: FINALLY not being sick!
Movement: More rolling movements than jabs. She is definitely out of room.
Food cravings: Nothng
Gender: Beautiful baby GIRL!
Labor Signs: Some contractions but nothing serious. But she did drop! Yippie!
Belly Button in or out? Still hangin' on to an innie!
What I miss: Being comfortable at all. Sitting, laying down, walking, etc.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting my daughter!
Weekly Wisdom: Walking to start labor is an old wives tale! And sex, was started by husbands that know they aren't going to get any for awhile! I tried it all, and NOTHING is working!

Best moment this week: Spending some alone time with Nick.

Movement: I can totally grab her foot now. So WEIRD!

Belly Button in or out? Still hangin' on to an innie!

Weekly Wisdom: Ummm... I guess this is a good time to pack a hospital bag.. How much crap could I possibly need, right?!

Milestones: We are OFFICIALLY full term people! Let's have a baby!!!

Pretty in Pink & Grey!!

This weekend was the shower for Leia and it was
PERFECT!

In absolutely every way possible!
The decorations and food...
Oh my GOSH! The food was VERY yummy!!  Chicken salad sandwiches, orzo salad, strawberry salad, veggies, fruit, and Sprinkles cupcakes!! Delish!



The games..
Usually I HATE shower games! Like HATE them! Mostly because they are lame or hard for people that don't have kids and since I've been to about a Billion baby showers I've pretty much played them all. I didn't want anyone to feel excluded so at first I didn't want to play games at all.
But my awesome hostesses found some new games (and a couple old games) and it was a great time!

We had to play the belly/string game... Basically you try to guess how big around the momma-to-be's belly is. It's usually pretty funny to see just how LARGE some guests think you are. Josalyn won this game! She was within millimeters! I'm not sure I've seen anyone get that close before!


And holy cow did this little girl get S.P.O.I.L.E.D!!!


Beautiful handmade gifts!!



Even my sister Carrie got in on the handmade craftiness!
I <3 handmade gifts!

And even beautiful store bought gifts!!





All I can say is HOLY FREAKIN' COW!!!


Her crib was FULL of clothes and awesome blankets! She will NEVER be cold!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone!!!!
We are so loved!!!!

Best moment this week: Landon getting to see the baby on the ultrasound machine for the last time!

Movement: When my belly touches the desk at work, she like to rub her foot along it.

Food cravings: No food, but I do have an obsession right now with lemon smells!

Gender: Beautiful baby GIRL!

Labor Signs: occasional Braxton Hicks

Belly Button in or out? Still hangin' on to an innie!

What I miss: STILETTOS!

What I am looking forward to: Baby SHOWER!
