37 weeks {I look like I'm hiding a basketball}.

I really do.  This belly is round and up front and the size of a basketball.  

I never thought I'd really struggle get up from the couch or bed, but it's happened.  T and I try not to laugh when he's helping me up from the couch or pushing me up out of bed.  It's ridiculous, yet quite entertaining.  

I'm feeling huge, but awesome.  One of my student's mothers reminded me that this may be the one time in my life that I don't have to care about the quantity of food that I eat (although quality is still pretty important).  It made me feel better about the amount I do eat.  I'm still on an ice cream fix and loving it!  T is fully supportive in my need for an ice cream cone almost every day.  We've gotten pretty good and scooping perfectly round scoops for our cones.

Which have to be waffle cones.  Or it's pointless to even eat them...

{my face is showing size of a little swelling... too much ice cream?}

We have one more prenatal class next Tuesday and then we're done with them!  4 weeks of classes actually went by really fast.  Too fast.  Our instructor has been fabulous and we've learned a few things here and there about what/what not to expect.  We feel a little more informed, but not overwhelmed with every little detail!  

We're loving the stronger kicks and rolls that this girl does all day long.  I love that she already has a fiery spirit and wants us to know she's the center of attention.  She's got a feisty spirit!  It's not unusual to see T with his hand on my belly and a smile on his face.  Baby Girl has quite the connection with her daddy already.  She still moves a whole lot more and kicks when he's poking her.  She really can tell the difference between me and T.  It's mind-blowing.  

Baby Girl's nursery is fully completed, with the exception of a few things to hang on the wall and a changing pad cover.  We're pretty set on clothes, burp rags, and blankets.  We'll have to go out to get more diapers once we know what size this little gal's bum is and a few odds and ends that I'm sure we're forgetting.  But I think we can finally say we can breath for a while and feel a little prepared for a baby.  

It's time to pack the hospital bags and prep some freezer meals.  But really, we're getting so excited for Baby Girl to be here.  The weeks are still flying by (!!!) which is surprising!  My sub plans are slowly getting done for the last two weeks of school and I'm attempting to get my classroom cleaned up as much as possible so the sub won't have to worry too much about end of year clean-up.

Tyler graduates this Friday and will be an official graduate.  Oh how proud I am of this man of mine!  He's worked his cute little tush off the past few semesters and has landed a job that he enjoys and will help him grow until he wants to branch out to new opportunities.

We're having a baby in 21 days (give or take a couple).  This is really happening.
