We'll just pretend for now that I haven't been mia for weeks. I'll try to catch up on Christmas and all that later.
How far along? 37 weeks as of Sunday
Best moment this week? Had an appointment on today. Everything looked good. My blood pressure is still normal. I was concerned for a while because it seemed to be creeping up but the last few times it has been normal. Also, I don't seem to be measuring ahead any more. Last week I was measuring right at 36 weeks. I forgot to ask today.
Movement? She's pretty active, especially compared to what Maya was.
Food cravings? Carbs.
What I love? Watching what I think is a bottom lump move around my stomach.

What I miss? Not having heartburn. I think I had it twice with Maya. This time I've had it more times than I can count. It's especially bad if I eat anything sweet or high in fat.
What I'm looking forward to? I'm to that point where I'm almost done being pregnant but not quite ready to have a newborn.
Milestones? I guess I'm "full" term now. Not quite ready for her to come out though. We did get the bassinet set up and her clothes washed. We have diapers, wipes and most other essentials. My mom gets here in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping #2 holds out for that. With Maya my water broke at 38 weeks and 2 days. That's a week from now. I've been nesting recently. Doing things like scrubbing the floors, cleaning blinds, recaulking the tub. All those things I'm sure a newborn cares about. I'm still in denial that we will be having a newborn anytime soon. I thought that I would be more prepared this time. I'm not sure that's really the case.
