37 Weeks Update/Mother's Day Weekend Recap

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! All you mama friends/family of mine, I hope yours was especially nice and that you got some special time and/or special treats from your kids and partners. And if you didn't, I sure hope you took a page from my book and decided to #treatyoself. 

I took my mom and I to get massages. It was glorious healing for my 37-week pregnant body. I'm just going to need about one of those a day from here on out, okay? Anyone willing to fund that for me? :) 

We were chilling in the relaxation room hence the crappy lighting. 

Saturday we went back to my brother's house to visit Miss Tylie, who is now 12 days old. Time is flying already. Before we know it, we'll have two little baby girls running around. I'm so excited!




Tylie with her mommy surrounded by grammy's. Haha. 

Tylie with Uncle Rusty. 

Jack was loving on Tylie, calling her "his baby." I died of cutes.


My mom and brother are currently staying with us for the duration of my pregnancy so that I'm not home alone with just Jack. In case I go into labor early or something, ha! It's really nice having them here, for both me and Jack. It's been fun for him and handy for me to have extra help. 

As far as an update on our house-selling situation goes, we're off the market temporarily. We'll re-list here in a couple weeks when I am recuperated from having a baby. Well, as much as possible anyway. 

Let's get on to the bump update! I'm feeling massively bigger than a bump these days, however. ;) 


How far along? 37 weeks & 3 days 
Total weight gain: +21 (still. Not complaining!) 
Maternity clothes? Yup! Lots of leggings.
Stretch marks? Yes, a few. 
Sleep: SUCKS. It's terrible. My body hurts, yo. And the insomnia really is a big jerk. 
Best moment this week: That glorious massage yesterday...   
Miss Anything? Sleep. Better get used to it though. Ha. 
Movement: She's finally started slowing down slightly, but is still really active. Just less active compared to before. Pretty sure she's run out of room and she is storing energy for the adventure ahead.  
Food cravings: Bagles
Queasy or sick: Just heartburn still. 
Gender: GIRL
Labor Signs: Lot's of prodromal labor contractions. I was 50 percent effaced and dilated to a 1 last time at my doc appt. I'm interested to see how things have changed this week. I'll find out tomorrow. I know a lot of women are against repeated cervical checks, but I kinda like knowing where I'm at. Not that it'll make much of a difference, I guess. 
Symptoms: Tired, emotional, excited, uncomfortable, heartburn, frequent urination. Same old same. 
Belly Button in or out? Still in.
Wedding rings on or off? On 
Happy or Moody most of the time: It's a good mix. Depends on the minute. Ha. 


Despite the labor signs and my overall hugeness, I feel like I still have a few weeks until little lady's arrival, which as excited as I am, I am perfectly okay with it. I know there is still more I want to get done before she comes. 

Hope you all have a great week! Happy Monday!
