40 Week Bumpdate, Spicy food, Sex and Pedicures

FULL TERM
How far along: 40 weeks aka full term aka incubation time is over aka "get out of my belly"
Gender: Girl
Weight gain: 18lbs
Maternity clothes: I'm ready to burn these clothes, it's been real!
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: Out
Sleep: Sleep is pretty decent. Either that or I've just gotten used to being up quite often. Getting out of bed is a whole other story........
Best moment this week: I actually cut down a day at work this week. I took off Wednesday and went and got my hair done and a pedicure. I also crossed spicy food (spicy crabmeat salad) and sex off of my "Makes You Go Into Labor" list. Needless to say, none of those worked. Oh and neither did the full moon that we had last Friday.
Worse moment this week: On Tuesday I baked cupcakes for the girls at work. They have been super helpful these last couple months, especially my manager. I made 12 cupcakes and used the rest of the cake mix to make a mini cake (8x8). I finished baking around 9 and thought that it would be a good idea for me to eat some cake and cookie dough ice cream. WORST. IDEA. EVER. I had indigestion until 2:30 am and had to sit up in bed til then, to keep myself from barfing!
Miss anything: Vacuuming. I know, sounds weird but I love a clean house and with this sciatic nerve issue going on,  it's totally put a cramp in my cleaning routine.
Movement: There is no more room in there, between feet in my ribs and elbows down low, I keep thinking she must be ready to move out!
Cravings: Finally my first craving at 40 weeks, gummy worms! But only the red/clear ones. The rest of the bag hits the trash!
Looking forward to:  My water breaking. At this point, I don't give a shit if it happens in the middle of Target and someone has to call for a clean up in aisle 3!

In other news the baby pool is up to $155 bucks! Even one of my maternity nurses has put in her bid. I'm not quite sure how comfortable I am with her gambling on my delivery though, I can just picture her saying "Don't push yet, in 2 hours it will be my date!" lol. There are also people that I don't even know that have bid on my delivery. People have wagered from June 10th all the way until the end of June with weights ranging from 6lbs to 8lbs 1oz.

Josh finished another small project in the nursery, the growth chart. Even though we won't be using this for about a year, it's something that was really important to him...and as usual, it came out amazeballs. Because our home is post and beam, most rooms have a beam in them and we fully took advantage of this one!

Summer Bucket List

Compiling a summer bucket list seems like a practical thing to do when your 9 months pregnant right? Considering I have no idea how to balance a baby that's not here yet, life, work and my marriage? 


I would have added miniature golfing but Josh HATES it. We have never been together and I have a secret suspicion that he may stink :) 
AND in lieu of mini golfing I wouldn't mind seeing Florida Georgia Line and Nelly. 

I'm feeling pretty confident that we can most likely accomplish half of this list! 
and obviously "Have this damn baby" is the unspoken to-do!

What's on your bucket list?

Come out Come Out Wherever You Are!!!! 39 Week Bumpdate!

How far along: 39 weeks
Gender: Girl

Weight gain: 18 lbs.

Maternity clothes: I'm totally over maternity clothes at this point! I resorted back to leggings and some cute baggy t-shirts (if there is such a thing). With only 1 week left I refuse to buy any clothes for myself, at this point anyway.

Stretch marks: No and I seriously have no idea how I dodged this ball. I have super temper mental and sensitive skin! I did get some pregnancy melasma on my face, which looks like small freckled patches but I've had that in the past due to birth control so it's no biggie. Plus after this baby comes out I intend to get it "fried" off with a laser peel :)

Belly button in or out: Out most of the time.

Sleep: Back to sleeping pretty good. I wake up 3 times a night to pee and that's about it.

Best moment this week: Knowing that withing 7-10 days we will meet our little girl!!! Yes, I'm scared as hell for labor, considering my pregnancy app let me know that the baby is the size of a "mini" watermelon this morning. 

Miss anything: Walking. I know this sounds nuts, but as of Monday the baby has moved in on my sciatic nerve. So as we speak I have a shooting electrical shock going down through my butt cheek to my foot and it's giving me dead leg. I've been shuffling around like a 80 year old man. I swear every week, pregnancy brings something new.

Movement: Still a ton of movement. Knees, heels, hands etc. And it's all visible!

Cravings: Nothing, not even a margarita! 

Queasy or sick: Still hanging on to the acid reflux.
Looking forward to: My plan was to cut back on work this week but I. Just. Can't. Especially when I see that it's going to be a busy and productive day! I blame this on my unpaid leave. So I'm looking forward to next week, when no matter what I'm cutting back!!!! And of course the arrival of little Casey.


I'm currently obsessed with Old Navy's Black and White baby stuff right now!!! I'm loving this outfit for summer!!!!!
