36 Weeks

(Please ignore the extremely fake smile!! At this point it's more like "just take the dang picture!")

 

How far along: 36 Weeks!

Baby Size: A honeydew {17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 lb} – This is according to The Bump. At my 35 week appointment, it was estimated she weighed around 6lbs!

Maternity clothes: Yep

Sleep: Not so good lately. As soon as my head hits the pillow I am wide awake.

 

Gender: Girl!

Movement: Yep! She likes to stretch out which makes my belly look pretty deformed sometimes.

Looking forward to: Being on maternity leave!

Food cravings: Orange juice every morning.

  Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

  

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach :(

Symptoms: Feet swelling! I think my belly is doubling in size everyday, too. I’ve had it pretty easy for the most part, so I can’t complain too much!

  

Belly Button in or out? Still even and super sensitive.

Wedding rings on or off? Off this week :(

Mood: A little bit of everything. Panicking at the thought of being responsible for another life, worried we are going to forget something at the hospital, wondering what this recovery process is going to be like, but still excited for it all to come.

Best moment this week: Celebrating Collin’s birthday on Friday! Next year it will be homemade birthday cards and finger smudges on his birthday cake from a little girl that just HAD to taste the frosting! Can’t wait for what all is to come!

Baby Showers!

Collin and I have been blessed with THREE baby showers for little Brooklyn! Needless to say, she is all set and we can't wait for her to be here!! As soon as I get pictures from my Spearman shower, I will post those. It was hosted by such nice ladies and was a great time!

 Here are some pictures from my Fort Worth shower that my family put together and it could not have been more perfect! Everyone worked so hard on it and put in so much time towards it. It turned out beautiful! I loved that everyone brought children's books in lieu of cards. Little girls library is all set now!

These next pictures are so sweet. Everyone filled out a "Wishes for Brooklyn" card and Cameron, Dylan, Savannah, and Maddie's were so cute :) Love those little girls!

 

And I can't wait to get Brooklyn in these little shoes that were on top of the diaper cake :)

A couple weeks after the Fort Worth shower, my work had a double baby shower for a co-worker and I that are due around the same time. The theme was "It's a sea of babies around here" and everything was "under the sea"! Too cute!

I can't get this one to rotate :/

We are so blessed to be surrounded by such great people who love us and little B! The countdown is on for her arrival now!
