Week 40! Only 1 more week!!!





















How far along? Beginning of Week 40. One more week until my due date. Can't believe it's almost time. I kinda have the feeling he might be a few days late though. I'm thinking the 11th. July 11th sounds like a good date! But I guess he's just gonna come whenever he's ready.
Total weight gain/loss: 30 lbs. +  hasn't really changed much in the last 2 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Even some of the maternity clothes is starting to feel tight
Sleep: I sleep surprisingly good. Probably because I have a bunch of pillows propped up around me that I lie on. Tommy and I decided to sleep in different beds until the delivery, so we both get better sleep.  It got a little crammed in our bed with all the pillow. It's also harder for me to breathe with all the extra weight, which kept Tommy up at night and vice versa his snoring gave me a hard time to fall asleep. So he's sleeping on the couch for now. Sad to be apart but we always make sure we cuddle before we go to sleep and when we wake up too.
Miss Anything? Not really
Movement:  Movements are getting a little bit more uncomfortable for me, since there's not much room left in there.
Food cravings: Still sweet stuff. My mom-in-law was so nice to give me a big bag full of little Sour Patch Kid bags. I've been eating a ton of those ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Symptoms: Same old, it's just getting harder to get around. I keep bumping into things with my belly, forgetting that it's pretty big now :)
Mood: Pretty happy. 
Energy: Still pretty good. I definitely haven't rested as much as I should have. I just feel like there's so much to do and so I've been trying to wrap up my projects at work, getting the house in order and organizing stuff for the wedding. Next week should be a bit more quiet though. I definitely wanna take some time to rest and mentally prepare for the birth and Finn's arrival.
Looking forward to: Next week is gonna be a big week with lots of things to look forward to. Cheyenne, Tommy's cousin is coming out from LA to stay with us a few weeks and help us out. Then Kristen, Tommy's sister is moving to Sedona. She got an awesome job there and decided to move to be closer to us. So exciting to have some family here. And then of course, counting down to the due date. I'm so so excited to meet our little baby boy. Seeing his sweet little face for the first time and finally holding him in our arms. I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it.

This is probably my last blog entry while I'm pregnant. The next entry will hopefully be a happy delivery story and pictures of our little mountain baby.

How far along? 38 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 30 lbs. +  
Maternity clothes? yup
Sleep: still pretty good, just have to get up to go the bathroom more often now
Miss Anything? Not really
Movement:  Still lots of movements. Must be getting tight in there, because I see little bumps stick out when he moves around.
Food cravings: sweet stuff
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Symptoms: Just the usual discomfort like back pain if I sit for too long, and it's getting harder to breath. I feel like I'm out of breath just talking sometimes. 
Mood: Happy
Energy: Pretty good, but I'm getting more tired faster overall. So I'm trying to rest and take naps if I get too exhausted.
Looking forward to: D-Day or Finn-Day as Tommy and I started calling it. So exciting!!!! Can't believe how fast time has gone by and that it's almost time.

Favorite Moment: We finally finished setting up the Baby's room. Got all the furniture set up, closet organized and artwork up on the wall. 
Only thing missing now, is our little Mountain Baby to make this room alive.
