I feel like life is a blur and we are moving at warp speed. I am trying to tie up all the loose ends at work and I have been busy busy busy. My classes are all new this week and I'm trying to make plans for the next 9 weeks for the sub. It is a LOT. I'm also working on monogramming all of Shep's things. I just brought the monogram machine to my house from my mom's so that I can work during nap times.
I saw the doctor on Tuesday and I decided not to be checked. I wasn't dilated last week so I figured we'd just leave it up to chance this week. I have another appointment this Tuesday and I'm definitely going to be checked then and we'll set a date for the c-section. My hope is to make it until Wednesday the 14th.
My sisters and mom threw a super fun sprinkle for me this past Sunday and I was blessed with lots of little gifts for Shep. I'm planning to do a full recap post when I get a chance to catch my breath :)

Pregnancy Highlights:
Today's Date: Friday, April 4, 2014
How Far Along: 38 weeks
Pregnancy Countdown: 14 days until due date!
Size of baby: Yay! Baby has reached full term. He likely measures around 18.9 to 20.9 inches and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds. He's gaining about 1/2 ounce each day. Shep is the size of a pumpkin.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I gained 2 pounds from my last dr appointment, taking my total up to 27lbs. I'm slowing down on my eating because this guy is taking up a lot of space! I've had a few periods of swelling though.
Maternity Clothes: Yes, all maternity. Most shirts are not fitting anymore! I am living in my old navy wife-beater-esque tanks.
Gender: Boy- Arthur Shepherd Carroll
Movement: Yes and it is a LOT lower. He has definitely dropped and I feel it when I stand up. My doctor has assured me that he will not fall out :)
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well but waking up once a night to tinkle. I've also started sleeping with a pillow under my belly for some extra support.
What I miss: sleeping on my tummy. I'm finally reached the point where I can't do that anymore.
Cravings: Again, not much. I'm feeling pretty full.
Symptoms: Heartburn is pretty much my only symptom besides some swelling. The swelling comes and goes. I am also feeling LOTS of pressure and have a good amount of contractions
Best Moment this week: Finishing all of our home organizing! I LOVE IT!
