37 Weeks - Full Term!!

I am full term this week!  As big as a watermelon this week...what many of you have been waiting for!  One of my apps on my iPad actually say that it is a winter melon this week, a pumpkin at 38 weeks and a watermelon at 39 weeks.  But my other one says its a watermelon from 37-40 weeks.  So this is probably going to be my last picture with a comparison, because pumpkin's are kind of hard to come by this time of year!  LOL!

It's hard to believe that Wesley is going to be here so soon!  It could happen any day now!  Last Wednesday I hadn't dilated at all when my doctor checked, I have another appointment this coming Wednesday so we'll see if there is any change!

I sure am getting anxious to meet my new baby boy!  I finally got my hospital bag somewhat packed this last weekend.  I couldn't pack just everything yet because I am still using some of the stuff!  I got Wesley's bag ready to go, and Mikey's gift from Wesley.  

Mikey has started acting up more and not listening at all.  I don't know if he is sensing that Wesley is going to be arriving soon, or if its just his age.  I hope he starts to listen better, because he has been driving me and John just about bonkers!  LOL!  This morning at the gym the teacher even had to come get me because he was acting up.  I know its going to be a big adjustment for all of us when Wesley arrives, but I hope we are able to adjust quickly!

We are getting some long overdue rain today, and it has been a lot cooler the past few days, which has been really nice!  Its supposed to start warming up again later this week though, so the nice cool break is almost over!  Well, I'm running out of things to say, so I hope all of you have a great week!

36 Weeks

 4 Weeks left!  Can you believe it?  I sure can't!  Every few days I have been having some moderate discomfort.  It always goes away after a few hours, and feels better when I am sitting, but I don't think its going to be long...at the most 4 weeks!

So we have decided on a first name.  We are still discussing middle names, but his first name is going to be Wesley!  Mikey is getting used to the name and most of the time if we ask him what the baby's name is he will say Wesley.  It's cute the way he says it!  Wesley was John's grandpa's middle name.  He was John Wesley.  The two middle names we like are James and Landon.  I really like the name Landon, but I think James goes better with Wesley.  At least we have a first name picked out, so the middle name will come along shortly!
John is going to be out of town  until Thursday this week, so I hoping that I don't have a baby this week!  He is in Garden City, so its not very close!  I've been kind of nervous about him being gone because I am so close and since I've been having the pain that I've had.  I never really had that before with Mikey.  Also Mikey drove me crazy last week when John was out of town for 2 days, let alone 4!  So I am just praying that Wesley doesn't decide to come early when daddy isn't home!

Well, I don't have much else to update on this week, so I am going to sign off for now!  I hope everyone has a great week!

35 Weeks

Baby sure is growing, and I'm surprised he is still as active as he is!  He has to be running out of room in there!  LOL!  So a coconut was the comparison this week, and I'm not sure if the store just had small coconuts or is based on the weight or something.  It is pretty heavy!  LOL!

I think we are close to deciding on a name, but still not for sure!  I'll let you all know once we decide!  

So last Saturday we went to a birthday party at Deanna Rose Farmstead and even thought it was a little warm, Mikey had a great time!  That evening John and I went out to celebrate our 6 year anniversary.  We went to The Capital Grille on the Plaza because we had a giftcard.  It was delicious!  When John made the reservation he mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary, so there was a rose on the kitchen side table when we arrived.  They offered us a champagne toast, but I had to refuse since I'm preggo!  Then after dinner we got a free dessert, which was amazingly good!


John's parents came over on Sunday and helped us finish Mikey's Cars room.  It looks great, and he loves it!  We put up the checkerboard border, which you can see in my picture, and put up some cars wall decals.  We also hung his name on the wall that we have actually had since before he was born and it just now made it on the wall!  LOL!

I start going to the doctor every week now, so I have another appointment tomorrow.  I cannot believe that I am a month away from meeting my baby!  Its so surreal that I am so close!  Well, I hope you all have a great rest of the week!

34 Weeks

Baby is as big as a butternut squash this week!  As time ticks by, I can't believe how close I am to holding my new little man in my arms!  

Last Thursday was Independence Day!  We went with my parents to a parade and fireworks in Stillwell.  Mikey got a ton of candy at the parade!  The fireworks were by my dads work, so while we were waiting, he took Mikey in to see the big truck that he drives!  He really liked that!  We weren't sure how Mikey was going to like the fireworks because this was his first time going to them.  He loved them!  He wore a pair of noise canceling headphones so it wasn't to loud!

Over the weekend Mikey and I stayed at my parents house so John could paint Mikey's room and the baby's room.  That's why the background color in my picture is different than before.  That is Mikey's room.  He's going to have a Car's themed room to go with his car bed.  We still have to put up the checkered flag border (that's why the paint line isn't even), and some Car's wall decals.  

The baby's room is almost finished.  The painting is done, now I just have to get stuff put away.  We went shopping on Monday evening to get the necessities that we needed, like binkies, bottles, pumping accessories (I already have the pump), and some misc items. 

Monday is our 6 year anniversary!  Its hard to believe its been that long!  So Mikey is going to have a sleepover with grandma and grandpa on Saturday while John and I have an evening out to celebrate!

Well, I have to get ready to go to the doctor, so I am going to have to cut this short.  So I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend!

32 & 33 Weeks

Well, here I am again posting 2 weeks at a time!  LOL!  Things have somewhat slowed down, but the time I have I just feel like being lazy!  Baby is still growing like crazy, and I know he's running out of room!  Sometimes it doesn't feel to pleasant when he moves.  I've been having some pain due to constipation.

My picture from 32 weeks I didn't have a fruit or veggie because it was supposed to be some kind of squash that I couldn't find.  This weeks picture I had a golden honeydew even though that's not exactly what my pregnancy app said.  It was supposed to be a fruit called a durian fruit, I had no clue where to find one, so I got something that I thought was similar in size.  You should look up a durian fruit, its crazy looking with spikes!

So when I signed off last time, I said we were Mikey was a ring bearer in my uncle's wedding.  He was so cute in his tux!  He walked down the isle just like a little gentleman paired with my cousin Sydni!  It was a fun weekend and a beautiful wedding!

Tonight is Mikey's last t-ball game.  He is getting better at listening to his coach, but still has a tough time focusing on the task at hand.  He is the youngest player on his team and you can totally tellI'm sure he will be much better next year when he is a bit older!

Tomorrow I am having a pre-natal massage.  I am so excited!  I have never had a professional massage before so I am looking forward to it!

John started getting the baby room ready to paint, and got the inside of his closet painted.  Mikey and I are staying at my parents house this weekend while John paints the baby room and Mikey's room.  We are doing Mikey's room with a Car's theme.

So I hope everyone has a great 4th of July, and enjoy some great fun!  We plan to go to the celebration in Stilwell that looks likes has a bunch of fun stuff including a parade and fireworks!  Hopefully I will get a post up next week!  Have a great rest of the week and weekend!
