Happy 38 Kid

Dear Baby,

You are now 38 WEEKS OLD today...woo-hoo!!! That means You'll be here in about 2 weeks...OMG! Am I even ready for labor? Am I ready to be a Mommy? Am I ready for you LiL One? I BETTER BE coz You're a-comin' :] Yikes! A lot of people are waiting and wanting You to come out like...yesterday! haha! They are all so excited to meet You already and here I am just waiting and letting You decided when You feel it's 'time' and what day you want to for Your birthday. I honestly feel that You'll come either close to the 25th (which is Your due date) or exactly on the 25th...I think--maybe-I don't know...eeeek! Ok stop, I'll just stop thinking about it now or else I'm gonna go crazy.

Anyways, here's what BabyCenter has to say about You today:

How your baby's growing:

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.)





How far along: 38 weeks



Maternity Clothes: Can you please come out like ASAP already so that Mommy won't have to buy anymore maternity clothes?
Sleep: I've been taking a nap when I get home from work these past few days but then I have even more trouble sleeping at night because of it...ugh! oh well, whatever works I guess.
Best Moment of the Week: Daddy and I bought You your crib...YAY!
Movement: I don't think You have a lot of leg room in my belly anymore...ha! Which means it may be time for You to come out of there...SOON!
Food Craving: Mommy didn't have mac&cheese :( but my cruisematebuddy Tina is willing to make it for me...YAY! I can't wait :]
Gender: Baby Boy Gaeta

What I'm looking forward to: I am looking forward to eating some good mac&cheese that I've been craving lately...haha! <---STILL waiting for it :]

Weekly Wisdom: I am trying really hard to just focus on meeting You and not so much on the whole 'Labor' and 'Pain' thing...eeek! <---STILL feelin' the same way...
