You guys.
Nesting is SO REAL.
It's only 8:30am and I've already made breakfast for me and Kaleb, made smoothies, cleaned my living room, and deep cleaned/organized my fridge.
Why? Good question.
I just started cleaning up after making smoothies and I couldn't stop! Also, we rearranged the nursery yesterday and started organizing clothes, blankets, etc. and made a list of things we still need. I am obsessed with getting everything perfect and ready - especially considering my due date is less than 4 weeks away! I am such a planner and I just want everything ready to go.
How far along? 36 weeks. Size of a large cantaloupe. (19-22 in, 6 lbs)
Total weight gain: about 22 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes...I should buy more but I'm cheap and don't want to buy too many clothes that won't fit after a few months. So, I wear a ton of my old BYU shirts that used to fit big but now fit juuuuust right. Also, lots of exercise clothes...stretchy = the best.
Stretch marks? Yup, on my hips. I cried the first time I noticed them. Now, I know that this is just a sign that I'm earning my stripes as a mom. And, even though I have days where I'm weaker and it ultimately gets to me, my precious baby will kick and remind me that he is so much more important than some marks on my body. Plus, Kaleb is a champion and makes me feel beautiful. I have such wonderful boys to keep me sane ;)
Best moment this week: Oh my gosh, where do I begin?! I had a doctor's appointment (c'mon, those are the best because I get to hear his cute little heartbeat), my parents came into town for the weekend, I graduated college, I had a baby shower...a weekend of best moments, that I can't pick just one.

Miss anything? Sleeping through the night! Also putting socks/shoes on without feeling like I just ran a marathon. No pain in my hips. You know, the usual.
Movement: All the time! Doctor said that he is head down with his bum under my ribs on the left and his feet at my ribs on my right side, so he is in a cramped C position...and I definitely feel it! His stretches and kicks feel like he is going to stretch through my skin. Not an exaggeration.
Food cravings: Anything sweet - fruity sweet. I haven't had very many cravings lately, but fruits ALWAYS sound good.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs still :( I tried them for the first time in months and I still can't do it!
Gender: Boy
Belly Button in or out? Out. It's like a button...it looks so weird.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!! I can't believe we are so close to meeting him! Also, can I still make tired an option?
Looking forward to: Meeting this baby boy! Only 3-4 more weeks!
