FULL TERM...37 weeks!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along: 37 weeks!! Jack is considered FULL TERM now, WOW!

Size of Baby: Baby's now the size of a watermelon!(according to thebump.com) Your baby is full-term (yay!) baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).

Total Weight Gain/Maternity Clothes: I haven't asked about weight gain lately, I would say close to 20lbs. I wear maternity clothes all the time!

Gender: It's a Boy! Jack Leslie Mosley

Movement: We definitely have one active little boy! We love feeling and seeing all of his movements. His movements have definitely changed, they are no longer little punches and kicks, we can feel and see him rolling all around.

What I miss: I have LOVED being pregnant!!!

Food Cravings: none lately.

Sleep: Very hard to sleep these days. I have so much trouble getting comfortable. Once i'm asleep I am fine, it's just getting to that point.

Symptoms: no crazy symptoms. Having a few more braxton hicks contractions lately.

Best Moment of the Week: Our doctors appointment and getting to hear our little boy's heartbeat, I just love that sound. Getting all of our stuff ready, bags packed, car seat base installed in the cars and camera batteries charged!

What I am Looking forward To: Meeting this little guy and my next doctor's appoitment next week!

I cannot believe that we are full term, it's just so amazing! I feel so lucky and so blessed. For a while I didn't think I would get pregnant and now my baby is fully formed and ready to come into this world at any time.

36 week post!

36 weeks!

This picture was taken at 36 weeks and 2 days. Sorry for the delay of this post but I've just had lots going on. I am now almost 37 weeks. I will be doing my pregnancy highlights post for my 37th week. I have started going to the doctor every week now. I had a check up at 36 weeks and I have made some progress, more progress than I thought. So we could have our little man a little early, but who knows, he has a mind of his own. I am hoping he will hold out just a little longer. Rob and I have been busy getting things together. Our hospital bags are packed and ready to go if we have to get out the door quick. We have been making sure everything in the house is clean and that all Jack's clothes and things are washed and ready to go. It's so hard for me to believe that in 22 days or less we could be holding our son, it's truly amazing to me.

Saturday we enjoyed sitting around watching football. That Auburn game had us on the edge of our seats but luckily our Auburn Tigers pulled off a win!! WAR EAGLE!! Our friend Kay and her son Henry came over Saturday to watch the game with us. We made rotel dip and had pizza! We got a little taste of what it will be like to try to watch a football game with a little kid around...ha ha. We had a great time! I love football season!

Maternity Pictures!

Back at the beginning of August we had maternity pictures done. It was super HOT that day and I just knew we were going to look like a hot mess. I was very happy with the way most of them turned out. I hadn't really planned on having them done but with our photographer, it came with the package we purchased. I am SO happy we did them now. I know that I am going to love going back and looking at these and remembering this precious time. Our photographer was great and I can't wait to see what she does when we get Jack's newborn pictures done. If you want to see all the pictures just go to http://www.milestonesbybeth.com/

Hospital Bag

Rob and I are going to get our hospital bags ready this weekend, so we can be prepared. So I have a question for all of you moms out there, what all do we need to remember to pack in our bags? I am worried I am going to forget something even though I know it won't be the end of the world if we do forget something, but we want to be as prepared as possible. Thank you!!

Baby Showers!

Back at the beginning of August, we had a baby shower for my cousin Julie and baby George. Julie is due with George 2 weeks before I'm due with Jack. It's been so neat and special to be able to go through this experience with my cousin. It was a very nice shower in Birmingham and she gots lots of cute cute baby stuff. I am so excited for Julie & Clay and we can't wait to welcome little George into this family!

I have always dreamed about having MY baby shower. And now with little Jack on the way, I have had two very special baby showers. On August 19th, my office at work threw us a shower. It was so special and really sweet of all of them to think about our family during this special time in our lives. Rob came and took the pictures for me, such a wonderful husband.

The cute cake

Me and my friend Julie, she surprised me by coming to the shower. She and I are due 3 days apart, she's having a little girl!!

On August 20th I had a very special shower in my hometown of Monroeville, AL. It was thrown by my wonderful Aunt, cousins, sisters and a good family friend. It was such a nice shower and Jack got lots of great things. A few of my friends from out of town came and that really meant a lot to me. It means a lot that all these people love us so much!
My friend Jill made this diaper cake, she did such an amazing job. She came to my shower all the way from Georgia, we hadn't seen each other in a few years so it was very very special and meant so much to me.

Here are just a few pictures from my Monroeville shower. Thank you so much to everyone who made it extra special.

How cute are these cake bites?! They were delicious!

 Ok, let me explain this picture. When I opened this gift it took me a minute to realize what it was. It is the car seat adapter for my stroller. Well, I hadn't gotten my stroller yet or so I thought. My mom wrapped the adapter instead of the stroller and that threw me off. She had the stroller at home waiting on me. I was so shocked!! Thank you MaeMae, we love you so much.

I have a million pictures but it is taking too long to download them. So these will have to do. It was such a wonderful shower. I loved every minute of it. I absolutely love all this wonderful baby stuff. Thank you so much! We are so blessed to have you all in our lives. Now we are just waiting on our little man to arrive!!
