I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 38*

Yep. Still preggo. Just waiting for Yoda bear to choose his birthdate.  As I wait, let's check to see how he's doing. According to babygaga.com: Stuck in a holding pattern The final fat details are being rounded off before your rocket-baby's big launch onto planet earth and into your arms.

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 37*

Yes, I'm still preggo. I can still see my feet. I can still move reasonably. But it's still a struggle to get out of bed or turning over.

Let's check to see how Yoda bear is doing...according to babygaga.com: If you haven't yet delivered, you've reached the calm before

You know, I really need to start being more timely with these posts. I'm totally slacking. :P   Those are my new (read: expensive) glasses. I haven't updated my glasses since high school (seriously) and my contacts in five years. Well, my vision hasn't changed that much in terms of my contacts, but I'm sure they've changed pretty drastically with my glasses. M calls me his hipster wife. I wear that

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 36*

Today, I'm officially nine months pregnant, according to LMP, though Yoda is still measuring ahead. I'll get my cerclage removed next Tuesday and it's pretty much a guessing game on when I'll go into labor. Both doctors are estimating he'll be born within the first week of November but I'm still not certain I'll be pregnant come Halloween. We shall see! According to babygaga.com: Almost done, mommy! The countdown to your sweet

I’m Lovin’ It – Yoda at Week 35*

Today marks 35 weeks (according to LMP. According to Yoda bear's size, I'm pretty close to 37 weeks).  Let's check in to see how he's holding up. According to babygaga.com: It's getting cramped in here! Congratulations! You’re now carrying over 5 pounds of baby-goodness - not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself. Developmentally, your wee womb-tenant has the fat-factory running at full tilt while their digestive system puts

I had a doctor's appointment on Friday and Yoda bear is still measuring ahead (he's 36 weeks) but my OB isn't too concerned. He's still predicting Yoda bear will be here the first week of November. I most certainly hope so. I do miss turning over without assistance.According to babygaga.com: Your amazing baby is on the move!Until now, your wee womb-squatter's been living fairly high up in your poor stretched-out

This week's FBM post is another special one. It's a sneak peek from the maternity photo shoot. I'm really anxious to see the rest of the pictures. Our photographer (a high-school/longtime friend of mine) took 260 pics so I really can't wait to see which ones made the final cut!   This picture is pretty emotional for a number of reasons.
