Dividers


So I can't take credit for this idea at all. The first time I saw home made clothes dividers was from Ricky's cousin who made her own. I stored it in the back of my memory thinking one day I will be making some. So that day has come. What is neat about it is I made them from decor that was used at one of my showers. At one of my showers here in St. Joe they cut different colored circles out and different shapes and placed them on the tables to make it look like poka dots. Since her bedding has poka dots and I am a suckers for them as well. It was a really cute idea. Well I got to keep all those dots that were on the table, thinking I could use them for something. So there were some that were the perfect size to make clothes tags. And that is what I did :) It also helped me realize how many clothes she has for all the different sizes. So I spent $0.00 on making these! I still have a ton of dots left over and I can't wait to figure out how to use the rest!

So a special thanks to Glenna, who I stole this idea from :)

37 WEEKS!!


How far along? 37 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: About 28 pounds! I hope I stop putting the pounds on!

Maternity clothes? They were fun for awhile, but I really want to be back in normal clothes especially seeing new cute summer clothes in the stores but not being able to buy them.

Stretch marks? No, thank goodness!

Sleep: What is that?!?
Best moment this week: That Aven Smith was born and thinking how soon our little one will be with us!

Movement: A lot, not really kicks anymore just pushing on me constantly!

Food cravings: I don't know if they are considered cravings but throughout the pregnancy I have had a lot of fruit and eaten cereal just about everyday!

Gender: Girl!

Labor Signs: I have had a few contractions, nothing major and very irregular. So I think they are contractions :)

Belly Button in or out? Still in!

What I miss: Sleeping, and sleeping on my stomach! My ankles...they have been missing for about a week now!

What I am looking forward to: Holding my precious daughter and seeing Ricky hold her for the first time!

Weekly Wisdom: I have none, but would always welcome the wisdom from others.

Milestones: 37 weeks=full term! So she can be born at anytime and be just fine!

Size of Baby Gipson: Watermelon

Just complaining.....

So this post is just for me to complain about pregnancy. Now let me preference this with I'm glad to be able to have a child of my own and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm blessed, truly blessed to have this little human growing inside of me BUT I just need to vent a little. You know I guess it's the hormones talking :)

So bear with me....
So, I'm really tired of carrying her around, I feel like my tummy can't grow anymore. She just pushes and pushes on me all the time and its not comfortable. I can't sleep at night really anymore. I can't get comfortable at all. I have tried all kinds of positions with pillows. I have moved to sleep on the couch but that doesn't work most of the time. I'm much slower these days. I'm swelling up a lot and I have no ankles and I can't believe how big my face as gotten. I'm hotter than normal and get out of breath so much more easier. I have to go to the bathroom at least every hour!
Ok now I feel a little better be able to vent all that. Other than that, we are really excited that the due date is getting closer and closer. It really has flown by and not really until the 8th month did I start to really feel the discomforts of pregnancy. Today I'm 36 weeks so only 4 weeks to go if I make it to my due date!
