THIS WEEK
I am 38 weeks pregnant, only days left until this beautiful girl is in our arms. This is the last chalkboard I will draw, the last full weekly post I will write. I can't believe that over thirty weeks ago I did my first one and I am so happy I stuck to this project, weekly was definitely harder than I thought but so worth it to see how much my belly grew - I can't get over how "big" I thought I was at 9 weeks haha. This week was a busy one, after the L&D visit at the end of last week I've been madly preparing our bag and car seat, just a few last things. I had my last ultrasound with perinatal which went great and not only is our sweet baby girl measuring approximately 7lbs6oz but she also managed to turn out of her breach position and into a heads down position - which insinuated a lot of debate as to if I could now deliver naturally versus having a c-section. I also had an ob appointment the next day, we mostly discussed my upcoming c-section, the plan still remains the same and for the most part I'm okay with that. I just can't wait to be holding this little miracle.

MOMMA UPDATE
Getting a little anxious and very emotional as our delivery quickly approaches, I can't wait to meet this beautiful baby girl but I know this pregnancy will soon end and I'm going to miss it. I'm sad that I wasnt able to enjoy this pregnancy as much as I would have liked, I spent so many tired days scared out of my mind, but I know that is just what comes with having gone through what we have in the past - I know I appreciated every step of the way, as long as she was okay I was. Trying to frantically get everything ready before my delivery, which has been stressful. I'm still doing my twice daily kick counts and she moves so much lately, definitely reassuring that she is okay. I've been very sore all over but seem to be sleeping not too terribly this week. No new cravings but have been loving oranges and raisin bread - so yummy.

DADDY MOMENTS
Daddy has been working hard every day to get our renovations done before baby girl is born. It has been stressful and it is a lot of hard work, everything might not be 100% finished before we come home but we should still be settling into our place. So proud of all his hard work & all of the extra care he has given me during this pregnancy, I have not enjoyed the restrictions or the worries but he has been supportive and right beside me the whole way - I am so lucky.

FAVORITE PART OF THE WEEK
Being told by my ob that it is very likely Daddy will get to stay overnight with us during our hospital stay.

LOOKING FORWARD TO
Holding our baby girl! Only a few days left, it feels like a dream sometimes that this little miracle that we have been waiting so long for is about to be here. We can't wait.
