38 weeks!

 38 weeks!

Here's the actual bump shot that Justin wanted me to use :)

How far along: 38 weeks! Look who has managed to stick around for 2 weeks :)
Baby is the size of a: Pumpkin. Wow.
Maternity clothes: Really wanting to know what size I will be after I give birth. I have been itching to buy a fun spring dress for my brother's wedding. (The wedding is 3 weeks after my due date).
Food cravings: Chocolate. Chocolate dipped cones (hubs bought me Drumsticks so that I have them readily available at home), chocolate covered marshmallow eggs. Just chocolate in general. The last couple days I cannot seem to stop eating. I feel so hungry all the time and am eating massive amounts. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained 10 pounds this week.
Anything make you queasy or sick: No.
Miss anything: Same as last week: flat stomach, bending over, moving around swiftly.  
Boy or Girl: Baby boy!
Movement: The scquirmer is still at it. There have been times that it seems like my stomach is pulsating. I have been trying to figure out what it is. Is it the baby's heartbeat? What type of movement could he be doing that is pulsating? His hiccups are also becoming quite powerful.
Best moment this week: Finishing the baby's room. Oh, how I L.O.V.E it! I will blog post about it soon (after I finish my blogging about Northern Baby Shower). I also loved getting a pedicure after school with my sister on Monday. It was much needed, so relaxing and I loved spending time with her.
Worst moment this week: Waking up for work at 6am. I have been sleeping pretty well lately and would love to sleep longer.
How have I been feeling: Have a little bit of reflux here and there and I am still having the shoots of pain in my legs/ thighs (baby has got to get off of those nerves!) I am still amazed that I am 38 weeks and still have been able to work 9+ hour days... not too bad.
Other tidbits:

• We are almost completely moved out of our apartment: the only items that remain are our furniture, bathroom, pantry and clothing. A huge thank you to my mom and Jen who packed up our entire kitchen and let me just sit on the couch. 
• The baby's room is completely DONE (with the exception of a picture to hang here and there). It is amazing and I am so thankful to have it! Can't wait to see the little boy in his crib. 
• My parents went up to Ohio this week and I cried both times my mom said bye to me (yes- I did cry on Monday once I got in the car;) Hormones....
• The little man has managed to stay in a whole 2 weeks since my doctor gave me the fright about him coming in March. Although it is still technically March, I'm impressed that I have gone this long. 
• One of my biggest fears is that after all this talk that I will come early, the baby will actually come late and I will have to be induced. 
• Still praying that he can hold off until at least this weekend, if not April, if not April 6th ;)
• I got report cards done and am completely ready to give control over in my classroom.
• As I write this, my husband is cleaning the bathtub for me so that I can go relax... such a sweet guy :)
• I went 'grocery shopping' at my parent's house. Since they went up to Ohio, they passed all their leftovers off to me. "It must be nice to live near your parents." :)
• I am almost in the clear of being afraid about going into labor at school. I have to make it 2 more days! 
• I am down one ring :( I took off my engagement ring due to slightly swollen fingers. Still keeping my wedding ring on. I hate not having both of them and refuse to not wear any.  
• Next doctor's appointment is on Friday. We'll see if we have any updates then. 
• Things checked off the to-do list:
• Bought wedding shower gift for my brother and his fiance and 1st birthday gift for my niece. Bummed that we can't be in Ohio this weekend to celebrate both exciting events, but I don't think traveling at 38 weeks is the best decision. 
• Moved.
• Finished baby's room!
• And that's about it- my to-do checklist is just about completed!

Looking forward to: [Hopefully] having some relaxing days of nothing to do before the little man arrives. And of course, meeting him! I can't wait to see Justin as a dad :)
Countdowns:

• Days until due date: 14!
• Days left of teaching: 1. 7 (Friday is an early dismissal so it doesn't count as a whole day!)
