Less than a week!

For those of you who haven't heard, I will be delivering via C-section December 7, 2010, at 2:00pm!! EEK! :)

(This is on the island in our kitchen...just in case we forget haha.)

In less than week I will be holding my little, Jake Ryan!!

So unreal.

I am very anxious, nervous, excited, scared, overjoyed and too many other emotions to list. I was laying in bed last night thinking, "Jenalee, go to sleep. Next week at this time you probably won't be sleeping at all!" Great pep talk to myself. lol

As I prepare for Jakes arrival, I find myself buying things I NEVER imagined or even thought of buying before being pregnant. Oh the things people never tell you. I won't go into detail for the sake of those who do not want to read..but its amazing the things you learn.

One thing I WILL miss in my baby bump. This will be the only time I can take pictures of myself looking ridiculous holding my cell phone taking a belly pic. This is the only time my belly will be hard and I have an excuse to have it sticking out. lol

Speaking of bellies..here are some belly comparison shots. First one...7 weeks...next one...38 weeks, 3 days! CRAZY!

As far as surveys go, this maybe be my last one!!!!! Bitter sweet. I liked filling these things out, but that just means my posts will be MORE exciting! woo!

How far along? 38w5d

Total weight gain/loss: Gained a few more this week, I blame it on Thanksgiving :)

How big is baby? Well, the ultrasound tech said he is about 7lbs 11oz! We will see next week!!!!!

Maternity clothes? necessary!!

Sleep: I've been sleeping better...minus the waking up 4 times to pee.

Best moment this week: Scheduling the C-section, knowing he is coming on Tuesday!!!!

Movement: Love his kicks and hiccups.

Food cravings: Sadly I've been eating e v e r y t h i n g lately.

Gender: Boy boy boy!

Labor Signs: I've just started having lower back pain...otherwise I have a few contractions every now and then!

Belly Button in or out? In!

Stretchmarks? I found this quote and it made me smile.
"Think of stretch marks as pregnancy service stripes." -- Joyce Armor

How are you feeling? Feeling good, but tired!

What I am looking forward to: Holding Jake next week :)

What I miss: Sleepin on my belly!

Weekly Wisdom: "You're gonna miss this, you're gonna want it back"

Milestones: Making it to full term and setting a c-section date!!!

p.s. I almost forgot!!! I got my computer back...300 bucks later I have a new operating system and all my pictures, music and documents!!!! Hoo-freaking-ray!
