Week 38

Week 38 already?  Anytime now we will be holding our sweet baby boy!
********************


This week The Razorback Greenway trails opened in Bentonville and we decided to take advantage of the cool Fall day and enjoy the festivities!  Bradford of course had to ride the trail :)  I on the other hand decided to take a few pictures and do a little shopping!  No riding for this preggers! 



*note Bradford made the front page of the Newspaper! 



Week 12-38...I decided to make a collage this week never know when I may go into labor! 

 

How many weeks? 38

Size of baby? The size of: a Watermelon...it definitely feels like a watermelon is in there!

Gender? Boy

Weight gain? 29 lbs

Cravings?  Homemade granola and Acai juice.

Maternity Clothes? Oh yes! I have been lucky enough to have 2 girlfriends let me borrow there maternity clothes; so I really have not bought a lot.

Feel the baby move? His moves are definitely a lot stronger these days! He also gets the hiccups often, such a strange feeling.  

Symptoms? Feeling good, just feeling huge :)  Starting to get very anxious for the big DAY!  Seems so surreal that we will soon have a son!  No longer just Bradford and Aubrey anymore :) 

What's going on this week? Had our weekly doctors appointment (10/30) and everything is still looking great!  Auntie Brooke came to visit this week and we had a mani/pedi day!  Much needed :) We were hoping with a pedicure and the Full Moon on Monday that labor would start, but Baby M had other plans! 

Belly Button (in or out)? The top half is a little out there! 

Week 37

I need to do a little catching up first...last week my mother came and helped with painting the side table!  She's a good helper :)




Last week the Hubby and I went for a small hike...the Bentonville Trails are very pretty now with the Fall Foliage! 

*needed a break :)
 

We Love the outdoors!

Now for this week!  Yet again my mother came to help me prepare meals for when Baby M arrives (I'm very blessed to have a great MOM)...Good thing she is a stay at home wife now also!  I love the extra help.

We have good news in the Montgomery household...the Nursery is FINISHED!  This makes for one happy momma to be :)


I have also had a little extra time and energy to make my little man a stocking!  Next, I just need to get it embroidered! 



 

Overall the slipcover was a hassle but it is soooo soft!  This will be wonderful during late night feedings :)

Baby M's footprints from 1 month to 1 year will be on the middle canvas...so we can watch him grow! 
 

Changing table all ready :)  Now we just need a Baby and pictures to put on the chevron canvas!

Symptoms?  Nesting has kicked in full force around the Montgomery household!  I had to inform the Hubby it is a real 'thing' not just me being my normal Type A self :) 

What's going on this week?  Gigi came up this week and we knocked out so much for the nursery!  I can't wait to get it all together and post some pictures!  Also, looking forward to Baby M's shower #2!  The women at my Dad's church have really gone above and beyond and are doing a super cute airplane shower!  Going to be fun, I just loved being showered with love...who doesn't?!
