Counting Down!

It's crazy to believe we have less than 7 weeks until our due date.. and that I'll be considered "term" in less than 4 weeks! We are getting so anxious and excited to meet our sweet angel! I find myself thinking about it more and more each day and am so thankful God has blessed us with the opportunity to be his parents! Romeo can't wait to be a big brother either.. he loves the nursery! We've started letting him sniff/sleep/cuddle with some of Camden's things so he is used to the "baby" smell.. it is so sweet! I'm also really looking forward to my maternity leave. I LOVE my job.. but 13 hour shifts are getting a tad bit harder now ;) We are now going to the doctor every week for check-ups and she will 'measure' Camden in two weeks to get an estimated weight and position (he's headed in the right direction according to our sonogram today)!

How far along? 33w2d

Total weight gain: 21 pounds

Maternity clothes?: I have one pair of maternity shorts I wear occasionally. I also have a few tops. I mainly wear loose sundresses if I'm out and t-shirts/PJs at the house. The rest of my time, I'm in scrubs!

Stretch marks? None so far! :)

Sleep: It all just depends! I'm still sleeping pretty solid through the night. I have had a few nights that I wake up to use the bathroom or get comfortable. For the most part, though, I've been sleeping at least 7 straight hours which is AMAZING.

Miss anything?: Not being the "slow poke" in the crowd (it takes me a little longer to get around now!). Painting my toe nails/shaving my legs comfortable (I can still manage though!). Eating without getting reflux.

Movement: I think Camden may grow up to be a kicker.. he sure is practicing his field goals in my right ribs :)

Food cravings: Coke icees! And anything "icy"-- snow cones, frozen drinks, etc.

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Eating too much

Gender: Boy!

Name: Camden William Gates

Labor Signs: I wouldn't say labor "signs".. but Braxton Hicks have become my best friend, especially when I work. So, I've been told to "take it easy" whenever I'm not at work, prop up my feet, and sleep.. which is what I'm fixing to do!

Belly Button: semi-outie

Wedding Rings: On

Symptoms: back/hip/rib discomfort, Braxton Hicks, reflux, and swollen ankles while I work

Happy or Moody most of the time?: Happy :)

Looking forward to: Baby shower Saturday! And seeing our little man again next week!

Next Appointment: August 13, next Monday

Nursery Theme & Colors: Classic/calm.. light blue, white, and gray
