Bump date: Week 38

I know, I know, I know, I have been MIA for the last few bump dates but hey.. I have good excuses, but none that I care to share. lol Not a whole lot has changed in the last few weeks but I definitely wanted to get out one last post or two before Ella arrives which, holy cow, could seriously be any day now! I am pretty anxious to meet her and snuggle the poo out of her, although I'm sure she can take care of that department on her own. ;) We have her car seat in the car, her clothes are washed, hospital bags for both mother, father & child are packed and in the trunk, we are registered at the hospital and all we need to do now is wait for contractions to begin.

Lets do this baby girl!

How far along: 38 Weeks (9 and half months)

How big is baby: The size of a pumpkin or a spaghetti squash is what I've read. She is anywhere from 6-9 pounds (Please don't be 9 pounds Ella) and 18-21 inches in length.

Belly button: Out. It feels like it is more out then usual too. Like my body is saying "Stick a fork in me, cause I'm done."

Total weight gain: 31+ pounds.

Sleep: I have been sleeping somewhat better the last few nights. I still am dealing with the pregnancy insomnia and waking up at 3am until I go to sleep the  following night. It's not super fun, but I keep myself busy by sitting on the couch eating otter pops and watching the Titanic or other Netflix movies.. ya know how it goes. 

Movement: Doing well, she is always keeping me aware of her not so itty bitty feet. :)

Maternity clothes: Nothing new here.. as always. 

Gender: A sweet little lady. 

Best moment this week: A lot of awesome things have happened lately, including the baby shower that took place on May 2nd, I still need to recap that goodness. One of my older brothers got married on the 23rd of May. It was such a beautiful moment and I was honored to be included in the wedding as a bridesmaid. Katie also rocked the position of flower girl, and Troy was a groomsmen. Of course tons of dancing and food was taken advantage of whilst celebrating their love. The best moment this week however has to been finishing up some last minute details before little girl makes her grand appearance. 

Looking forward to: I am looking forward to (Labor starting...???) Finally getting the swing we purchased for Ella. I am super excited to try it and set it all up so I can place her sweetness in it once we bring her home. We bought a 4moms mamaroo, and I am so stoked!
