25 Days or Less ! ! ! !

SO much harder doing a chalkboard with my left hand

How far along? 36 WEEKS!
Stretch marks? Nothing new! If I can make it through with no marks on the belly then I will tell every stranger I see (including men) that Mama Mio Tummy Rub Oil is worth its weight in gold!
Sleep: Just waking up to pee a few times a night and tossing from me left to right side.  This cast doesn't make it easy.  Ryan told me I'm still snoring.  I'm exhausted everyday after work and always want a nap.
Best moment this week? Getting to see Everleigh in the ultrasound on Monday 1/19.  Her heartbeat is around 150 and shes still head down!  She was being shy with her hands over her face so no good face pics.  The coolest was seeing her practicing her breathing...her little ribs moving up and down.  Crazy!
Miss anything? Laying on my stomach. Breathing and walking easily.  Having two hands and arms to function. Drinking a glass of wine.
Movement? She's been active the past few days.  I can feel her hands/fingers really low and kicks are still pretty high.  She gets the hiccups every now and then and it's so cute to feel them!
Food Cravings? Chocolate milk! Has to be a big glass with Hershey's syrup.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Prilosec is a lifesaver, so good here.
Labor signs? Nope.  Doc didnt check me this week, but I don't feel like Ive had a lot of Braxton Hicks and she's still hanging out really high in mah belly!
Happy or moody most of the time? Moody...pretty sure itll be like this from here on out.
Looking forward to? We WILL get the nursery done, hospital bags packed, and carseat installed this weekend.  HAS to happen!!

More updates in pictures:

Hand/arm therapy.  I do about an hour a day.  This is part of my contract bath - squeeze sponge in warm water for 30 seconds then sway wrist in cold water for 30 second,  Repeat for 15 MINUTES.  You can see how swollen my wrist and hand is and it's almost been a month.  :(

Elevating feet. big belly, elevating arm with a heat pack, then guess who wants up on the couch??

The crib mobile we had made since I cant DIY.  WAY better than I could of done!!
