38 Weeks

38 weeks (6/4)

I am having a baby this month! It has gone crazy fast. I can't believe I will have a little girl in less than two weeks! Now the waiting game begins.
Chris has done some nesting this week. He was very productive. He installed the carseat, cleaned the garage, picked up an end table for the nursery and even set up the pack and play at the shop.  I have my hospital bag packed except for a few last minute things. I'd say we are as ready as we can be. I feel like I have dropped quite a bit this week but the pictures don't really show it too much.
Sunday we had a going away party for our friends Josh and Megan. We are sad to see them go but we had a good time hanging out with everyone.

Of course, while everyone was here I made them all look at the pretty much completed nursery. 

It looks way cuter in person! At some point I will put some curtains up. My mom made a valance with the same fabric as the crib skirt that will need to go up too.
So I've decided Kinsley is probably going to come on Saturday. I knew Chris would be gone for the weekend at a wedding he is in in Wichita, but then I found out my mom will be at a meeting in KC on Saturday also. Then at my appointment on Tuesday, Kim informs me she will be out of town all weekend. Hopefully she will cooperate and stay in until at least Chris and my mom make it back.

How far along: 38 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I made up for last week. 2 pounds this week. Oops. Seriously creeping up on that second goal
Maternity clothes?: yup
Stretch marks?: None! She needs to come before I get any.
Sleep: It hasn't been too bad this week. I have to elevate my head but other than that it's been ok.
Best moment this week: Hanging out with friends
Movement: They are more like stretches than movements. She likes to push her feet out on my right side and her back out on my left. I have been feeling more Braxton Hicks, some sharp twinges and some cramping.
Food cravings: Same as usual, sweets and Mexican.
Gender: GIRL!
What I miss: Wearing my wedding ring and sitting lady like. I can't even cross my legs.
Milestones: We have reached her birth month!

From Babycenter:

Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.
Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
