38 Weeks!!! I'm having him next Thursday!

Are you ready for the 38 Week Belly??? Are you sure??? It's HUGE! I even included a frontal for your viewing pleasure ;) This is one of the last belly pics!!!

I have been an all-round nesting machine!!! I have done SO many loads of laundry it's not even funny. Anything that I could throw into the washing machine, went in! I even went as far as washing my little doggies winter clothes since they've been packed away for a year and he has sensitive skin, lol. I've been done with work since last Tuesday and I haven't really relaxed at all. I'm going to finish up the last few things and then, it's relaxation time until Carter arrives. IN 10 DAYS!!! I'm having this baby next week! AAAAHHHH!!!! It's great to have a definite date set up, but wow. I am just sitting here thinking, "10 days", I can't believe that I went from worrying every second of every day about whether or not this pregnancy would even stick, to counting every week that past and now I am down to days...and 10 days at that! I am so blessed and couldn't be happier.

* How far along?: 38 Weeks...wow.
* Total weight gain: +34 lbs total.
* How big is baby?: about 6.5-7 pounds and 19-21 inches
* Maternity clothes?: It's getting SO COLD!!! I am looking forward to my last week or two in full maternity gear!!!
* Stretch marks?: same
* Sleep?: I wake up about once a night...very uncomfortable though :(
* Best moment this week?: Hearing my doctor tell me that if Carter does not come on his own, I will be induced Oct. 29th! I would like to go on my own, but if not, at least I have a date of when he will be here!
* Movement?: he's cramped. I feel him stretching every now and then and it's pretty painful.
* Food cravings?: Still stuck on the apples and apple cider.
* Labor signs?: 2 cm dilated and just about fully effaced! Contractions are getting stronger too. Still nothing I'm able to time, but I feel like we're gearing up for the main event!
* Belly button in or out?: Pretty flat most of the time, although when I wear more fitter shirts it likes to pop out for some reason!
* What I miss: a nice glass of red wine...10 more days at least!
* What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my new little prince!
* Milestone: Carter's skin has changed from pink to white, although his pigmentation will occur soon after birth. He's ready to come out and I'm ready to meet him! 10 more days Woot Woot!
