Baby Bump Update

How far along: 38 weeks!

Size of baby: My email update said a pumpkin but had a picture of a apple.  Because of this I have added an app to my phone to get a second opinion:)  That one still says watermelon.  Baby is about 6.5 lbs and 19-22 in.

My body: It looks like my belly button has a huge aged bruise around it.  It's attractive;)  It's blue and yellow.  I think my skin is just pulled so tight in that area that the veins are showing through and the skin is looking somewhat transparent.

Movement: Lots of stretching.  Today though I feel like he wasn't moving that much.  I tried not freaking out and just see how the day went.  The last hour and a half he has been moving as normal though.  I am really supposed to watch his movement now and if it slows or stops I have to go to the doctor.  It is so hard not to focus on this!

Sleep: Ugh...I just cannot get comfortable.  On Saturday night I slept straight from about midnight to 6 am and it was wonderful!

Symptoms: Nothing new that I can think of.

Cravings: A local cafe by me has home-made hot apple cider...YUM! Oh, I love this.

What I'm looking forward to: This weekend I have a friend's baby shower and then I have friends coming over to help out with Lucas's nursery.  I am so excited to get this done.

Baby daddy: Kevin has started referring to my stomach as a large third boob.  He thinks my tummy is hysterical.  

Thoughts: We met with our pediatrician today.  There is only one in town but my friend's sister lives here and has two kids and said he was great so we went to talk to him.  We walked out very happy.  I think he will be a great fit which makes me feel good.  What doesn't make me feel good is that the nearest emergency room is about 15 miles away over the two-lane windy road.  Let's pray for no emergencies!
