37 Weeks

How far along: 37 weeks as of yesterday :)

Weight Gain: As of my appointment yesterday, I was up 25 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. Let's hope that's the end of the weight gain! ;)

Maternity clothes: So thankful for another summer pregnancy where I can live in skirts & maxi dresses :)  I usually have such a hard time narrowing down my clothes to the bare minimum to prepare for the movers to come, but this time around was easy-peasy b/c there's only a few things I can still wear! ;)

Sleep: Sleeping great with the exception of 1-2 bathroom trips per night, but thankfully I always fall right back asleep once I get back in bed. With the other two pregnancies, I got a bit more uncomfortable when trying to sleep as I got closer & closer to my due date. I would usually keep a spare pillow next to the bed to put between my legs to help me get more comfortable in the middle of the night. But this time around, that hasn't been an issue AT ALL! We'll see if I'm singing a different tune tomorrow night when our beds are on the moving truck & I'm sleeping on an air mattress. ;)

Movement: Yes! :)

Food cravings: Nope! Almost to the end of pregnancy #3, and I still have yet to experience any "cravings."

Symptoms: Feeling great, no issues at all! The hip pain that I had a few weeks ago has completely vanished--so weird, but I'll take it! With the girls' pregnancies, I totally took for granted how smooth the pregnancies were. This time around, we are sooooo grateful! With us in the midst of a big move, a complicated pregnancy/early arrival would just not be ideal. It's easy for me to forget I'm pregnant b/c I feel totally fine, so I'll be running around a mile a minute getting stuff ready for the move...and I'll catch myself and make myself stop & rest. I need to do everything I can to make sure this baby stays put until we are in Las Vegas! :)

Gender: BOY! Still trying to wrap our brains around that ;)

What I miss: Maybe being able to get up & down off of the floor without a struggle :)

Best moment this week: This wasn't this week, but at the end of May our sweet friends from Keesler hosted a little baby shower for Baby Boy Smith while my mom was still in town. Angela totally acted like it was going to be a laid-back get-together for our families, but she really outdid herself with all of the little details! It was such a fun afternoon with some of our very favorite people! We felt so loved!!

The invitation :)
Everything was done in a super-cute golf theme, so fun!

 

Thank you, Goins & Gallimore families for such a special day!! We are going to miss these families oh so very much when we move! It's hard to imagine our military medical journey without them in it b/c they've played such a huge part in our lives for the past 5 years! We'll miss celebrating holidays & birthdays with them, but mostly we'll miss doing our day-to-day life with them. We sure do love our little Air Force life, but the goodbyes are the hardest part!

Memorial Day at the Goins' house :)
