Full Term...37 Weeks

This baby is officially cooked enough to make an appearance anytime now and I would be lying if I said I wasn't ready too.

How Far Along: 37 Weeks
Total Weight Gain: 20 pounds
Stretch Marks:  Not that I can see
Sleep: It hasn't been so great as of late.  I am up at least twice during the night and sometimes more, not to mention no position is really comfortable.  I can't wait to be able to lay on my back and tummy in the very near future!
Miss Anything:  Shaving my legs, putting boots on without assistance, working out
Food Cravings:  I really like sweets
Belly Button In or Out: It is certainly trying to become an outie and I now understand why people don't want one!

Although weight wise I am about the same as I was with Crawford this go round I think my stomach is more narrow but sticks out further.  We went for an ultrasound on Tuesday and Baby S #2 looks to be like he/she will be small like Crawford - measures in the 20th and 30th percentile in everything and currently weighs about 5 pounds 11 ounces.  All I can say is thank you Jesus that I don't have large babies!!  I have absolutely no idea how he or she would fit in there.  My stomach feels stretched to the max most of the time and the amount of pain he/she causes in all areas throughout the day is pretty amazing.  Kickboxer or gymnast maybe??

Let The Craziness Begin

It's been a bit hectic around here lately!

First there was Halloween in the rain!  It didn't seem to bother him at all, he was completely covered.  Unfortunately since I was told to take it easy a few days earlier I didn't make the trip down the street in the rain, but this "doctor" definitely had a blast!!




Crawford also made the switch to a big boy bed on Halloween and he has done GREAT!  He still stays in bed and calls for us when he is ready to wake up - anxious to see how long it lasts.  I absolutely love the way his beds came out and will post some pictures when the room is complete.

The following week Kyle left for a work trip in Houston, it's actually where he is right now.  I'll say it again, I was not meant to be a single mom.  I have absolutely no idea how they do it!  Crawford and I packed up both times and headed to my parents.  I have to say I think they are also extremely thankful that I am not a single mom :).  Unfortunately I haven't felt the best over the last six weeks, so I physically can't handle Crawford all by myself.  This stinker, baby just seems to get comfortable in the worst places!

Crawford is still so excited for "the baby."  We took him to a "Tyke Hyke" class at Woman's Hospital where he promptly said he was having a sister when asked.  He then changed his mind in the middle that he wanted a brother.  I sure hope he'll be excited brother or sister!  The class was great and really showed us what I think we are going to see from him - he's going to want to be right in the middle of everything - no big surprise!

Thanksgiving has come and gone!  We had a relatively quite day, thank goodness.  Christmas tree and decorations are all put up and now we sit and wait...can't wait to see what life has in store for us as a family of four!
