Derek had to work this weekend, so we only got to spend Saturday evening together and then all of Sunday. But since he did work Saturday he gets this Friday and Saturday off and his work is closed monday for memorial day weekend! Woohoo! 4 day weekend! We found out that his dad will be in Texas from today til Friday night, then he leaves again for another week next monday and comes back next friday. So although I want her here really bad I do kinda hope she waits til the weekend so she can meet her Grampy!
Yesterday was pretty great I must say, we ate breakfast at home together, Derek mowed the lawns and cleaned out the gutter and then he and I went and got some lunch at Subway. Went over to his parents house and hung out with his parents and brother for awhile and said bye to his Dad. We got some much needed blizzards at dairy queen and then went to the grocery store and got some things for the week and some stuff for dinner and made hot dogs and corn on the cob and beans and potato salad. We got stuff for smores but we were too full so we will have those tonight! Yum! A little TMI coming up.. after eating outside in 80 degree weather we were so sticky and gross that we took an amazing shower together.. and it's funny because we haven't done that in months, because we used to be able to slide past each other in the shower but now my belly is too big and doesn't allow it lol.
Anyways, I am getting a head ache from the heat and being ont he computer, so I am going to go watch TV. =)
TTYL!

**How far along? 37 weeks as of today, May 24th, 2010
**Total weight gain/loss: I have gained a total of 37 lbs! I lost some weight, woohoo lol
**How Big is Baby?: Probably around 6 lbs.
**Maternity clothes? Yes and they are getting smaller and snugger. I hope I can last the next couple weeks without buying any more clothes! I want to buy non maternity clothes again! I have two shirts that fit me. Ugh! And it is sooo hot out!
**Stretch marks? Yes... They suck!
**Sleep: Ugh, last week I was lucky to say i was getting sleep. Now I don't even get to dream of sleep. Sleep is non existent, Derek needs to head to the couch so I can have the whole bed =) lol
**Best moment this past week: Free Tiramisu for dinner since I was preggers, and Derek and I made hot dogs and corn on the cobb last night and ate outside next to a mini fire. It was so awesome! I also got to see my sister and shop around at the childrens store with her. Oh yea.. had my cervix exam last week and I was 1cm dilated and about 30% effaced. Progress is better than nothing =)
**Movement: Still the same, between 10 and 11 at night and then little movements throughout the day. i think she's getting pretty snug though, her movements are pretty mild.
**Food cravings: Corn on the cob... yummmmmmmy!
**Gender: Girl!
**Labor Signs: The cha cha cha's today, nauseous, loosing appetite, very sore and crampy feeling. I hope she comes this week!
**Belly Button in or out? Out slightly.. it tends to change day to day. Same!
**What I am looking forward to: My appointment tomorrow. Had my first cervix exam last week and I was 1 cm dilated and about 30% effaced. I know you can walk around like this forever, but I hope not, i hope she says i'm at least 2cm dilated tomorrow! =)
**Milestones: hmm.. well, induction date will be June 7th if she isn't here yet, and that is exactly 2 weeks away =) So yay! At least I know she'll be here in two weeks!

36 Weeks!
I know, I know, I haven't written on here in quite sometime. I can't make excuses and say I have been busy, because God knows, I have NOT been busy. I think the more I write the more I think about our little one being born and it gets me so anxious! So let's see.. I should probably update you on anything that has happened in the past couple weeks.
Well our baby shower was May 1st. Derek's parents threw it for us. It was amazing! I had no idea how generous everyone was going to be. We received so many things. It was so awesome! We sorted through everything the next day and picked out things that we didn't need or had too much of and took it back to get correct sizes and things we will be needing. I think total we have only spent 500-700 dollars on little Miss Emily. That includes all of her furniture and EVERYTHING! So we must say, EVERYONE was VERY generous!
So for the past two weeks or so we've been buying anything baby that we know we need and getting ready for our little pride and joy. I don't think there is anything we have forgotten yet. I am sure we will be buying things we had no clue about once we get out of the hospital. I plan on breastfeeding for the first month if not pumping exclusively. No formula for this little girl! I hope it works out this way because I really would love to have her on breast milk only. It's not that formula is expensive or anything, it's just that I know the advantages of breast milk and I want Emily to have the very very best!
Well I am 36 weeks today. And as far as we know she won't be here for at least another week, maybe two or three. But I am definitely ready for her. At our 20 week ultrasound she had measured 2 weeks bigger but they never changed her due date, and then the past 2 appointments my belly has been measuring big.. so in all honesty I think I am 38 weeks. But it's not for sure. So we will just see her when she arrives I guess. We have an ultrasound on June 3rd to measure her and see how big she is, I will supposedly be 38 weeks and 3 days along that day so really I hope she comes before then. If not they will induce me on the 7th. I feel like i am going to go insane.. all I do is write on the bump or facebook and watch baby story... I clean the house every other day and sit in Emily's room day dreaming of what it will be like when she is here. I really want her here. I'm going crazy!
Well Baby story just started and laundry just went off so I got to get back to work.
**How far along? 36 weeks as of today, May 17th, 2010
**Total weight gain/loss: I have gained a total of 42 lbs! Ouch!
**How Big is Baby?: Probably around 6 lbs.
**Maternity clothes? Yes and they are getting smaller and snugger. I hope I can last the next couple weeks without buying any more clothes! I want to buy non maternity clothes again!
**Stretch marks? Yes... They suck!
**Sleep: Besides getting up 3 times a night to go to the ladies room, I'm sleeping okay.
**Best moment this week: Yesterday morning I woke up to homemade waffles with strawberries and whip cream on top.. AND FLOWERS! I love my husband!
**Movement: Emily moves all the time! Her favorite time to bounce around is between 10-11pm at night. Usually when I am on the computer she bounces around too.. I think it's the noise of me typing on the keyboard that distracts her.
**Food cravings: Waffles with Strawberries and Whip cream. Mcdonalds Caramel Frappe's and fresh fruit!
**Gender: Girl!
**Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks, light headed and sleeplessness... I pray these are all labor signs. I want her here!
**Belly Button in or out? Out slightly.. it tends to change day to day.
**What I am looking forward to: My appointment tomorrow. You wouldn't think I am excited for a cervix exam because they do suck, but I really wanna know if I am progressing at all. I sure hope so! The doctor also said she is measuring bigger, so our due date could be off =)
**Milestones: 1 more week until Full Term!!
Talk to you all soon! Sammantha
