36 Weeks!!




How Far Along? 36 weeks & 1 day  .. 27 days to go!!
Baby girl is about 6lbs and measures 19 inches!
Maternity Clothes? .... would be helpful.  I'm out of things to wear.. everything is super uncomfortable! 
Weight Gain? Still holding at 30 pounds!
Stretch Marks? Still a No! Fingers crossed!  .. but if you are wondering.. I can no longer wear my wedding rings.
Gender? Sweet baby girl! Addison Mae!
Sleep? Not good!  I eventually get to sleep.. but its really not very comfortable.
Food Cravings? The usual.. veggie hot dogs - I have like 4 a week!  I have been letting myself eat a little more junk lately.. ice cream.. full fat lattes.. pasta salad.. mayo on my sandwich.. etc.  I plan to reduce reduce reduce once baby gets here - mayo will be an absolutely not!  I'm much better at controlling my food than I am working out - so hopefully with the clean eating - and some working out - I'll be back to my old self in no time!
What I Miss? Energy.. being comfortable when I sit or sleep!  Wine!!  Being able to cuddle with my hubs.. right now my stomach is all in the way! 
Symptoms?  This will be TMI for most of you - but at my doctors apt yesterday I found out that I am 1 centimeter dilated and "rapidly thinning".. she also said I could stay this way for 5 weeks.. so not to get too excited!  Any progress is good progress!  Baby is head down though - thankful for that!
Best Moment of the Week? Hearing that Addie Mae is doing what she should be to get ready for the world!  ... any day now little one :)

This is my last week at work!  I'm excited - but actually more nervous & a little sad!  I've worked and paid all of my own bills since I was 15 years old.. & now I won't have a paycheck..  Its scary!  I am thankful that B & I are blessed to be able to have the option for me to stay home with Addie Mae and I know I'll love every second!! 
I 100% would love to be a working mama once she's a little older - but in my current position it would be tough.  I would hope to be working for myself or Brent by that point..  my baby would always be a 1st priority - and with what I do now, that would be tricky. 

This is my 1st job that I've actually loved loved!  I adore everyone that I work with & for and have enjoyed the past 3 years here!  I'll miss everyone!

Friday is my last day!!!  Scary / happy!!
xoxo
