37 weeks

I'm so ready to have a baby! Seriously...it has been rough lately. Nearly unbearable hip pain & lower back pain. Some days I can barely move. I know it's almost over and I know I'm growing a healthy baby but I'd be happy with her coming any day now! :) I had my 37 week check up and everything looks good. My group b test came back negative and I lost 2lbs. That brings my total weight gain so far to 15 pounds...woohoo! Although with the Halloween candy that I've been eating I wouldn't be surprised if I gained back that 2lbs at my 38 week appointment. We are in the last stages of getting Sydney's room ready and our room finished. Over the next 2 weeks I'll be putting in the car seat and washing clothing and bedding. I have to admit I'm a little nervous how on earth I am going to handle 2 under 2...thankfully I know that my parents will be there to help and I already plan on spending a many days down at their house.

34 weeks

Today I had my 34 week appointment. Only 5 more weeks left! I'm still feeling pretty good these days...just really tired. I do have a few mornings where I feel sick to my stomach but usually goes away with something to eat and it usually needs to be something that is not so good for me. They did another growth scan on Sydney and estimate her to be 5lbs, 2oz. My doctor thinks she'll be about 7 1/2 lbs at birth. Wholly small baby batman! So I guess it's true what they say...Mama's weight gain effects baby's weight. I have gained another 4lbs...ugh! This is what happens when I don't cook and we eat out...OK and the ice cream doesn't help either! :) So my total weight gain is 14lbs. There goes my goal of only gaining 15lbs...damn!



My 1st thought whenever I see these ultrasounds of Sydney's face is that they always look like Connor...who looks like Sid. I wonder if my kids will ever look like me?

Almost there

We...actually I should say Sid is almost done with Sydney's room. My Dad came over and helped Sid change all the outlets, put the light fixture up & put together the crib. My Mom also picked up a white rocking chair that goes perfect in Sydney's room. I seriously don't know what we would do without my parents...they are the best! Sid just has a few more pieces of trim to put up, some staining to do and put in the closet organizer and I'll be free to get in there and put everything away!










We also started another project...I couldn't stand the icky carpet in our room and the boring walls. So since flooring was on sale at Costco we picked some up and I went and picked out some pant. Sid's got 3 of the walls and the walkway to the closet done. Next weekend he hopes to get the wall behind the bed painted and trim and the floor installed. This all depends on if one or both of my brothers are free to come help. I helped as much as I could already but at 33 weeks pregnant I'm not very productive.

Did I mention Sid still has his shed to build? I wonder if we will ever stop having projects and if we do what will we do then?
