A House Full of Pregnant Chicks

This weekend, Nick's sister Courtney came up from Longview to Dallas for her first baby shower.  She's 22 weeks pregnant and excepting a little boy named Cord Robert.  The shower was so beautiful and it was so fun to shower baby Cord with gifts and love.  I know he and Lexi are going to be super close cousins. 

Courtney's best friend Stephanie was one of the hostesses of the shower and she is also 28 weeks pregnant.  Saturday, after the shower ended, they came to our house to spend the night.  I know Nick was laughing with his friends about having a house full of pregnant women this weekend.  We went out to Blue Goose Mexican restaurant to eat and then walked through the Shops of Highland Village to get a Dream Bar at Potbelly.  We were getting a lot of funny looks as we all three waddled around through the shopping center in front of Nick.   I would have loved to be able to read people's minds at that very moment. 

Here I am 38 weeks pregnant.  I feel like a beluga whale.  

Pregnancy Highlights:
How far along are you: 38 Weeks

Total Weight Gained: 30

Maternity Clothes: I am trying to wear ANYTHING non maternity that I own.  I am SO done with maternity clothes.

Sleep: I am up going to the bathroom all night.  With that, on top of TONS of Braxton Hicks contractions, it's hit or miss.

Gender: A girl.  Lexi will be here any time now!

Movement: Just squirms.  She's head down and getting in position, so she's too big to move much.
When she decides to have a random dance party in my belly though it HURTS.

Food Craving:  Random things.  I can't eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch anymore (one of my pregnancy staples) because of indigestion so I miss that at lot.

What I Miss: Being skinny, seeing my feet, being able to paint my toenails, not having to struggle to pick something up off the ground when I drop it.

Symptoms: Braxton-Hicks contractions during the day, pressure down low, sore back, pains in my thighs and rib pain. 

Best Moment this Week:  Finishing up school and getting ready for maternity leave.
