Baby Bump Update | 36 & 37 Weeks

Spread the love
I’m behind on posting an update, as usual.  We’ve been busy getting bags packed and things around the house ready for this baby boy.  But things are finally starting to slow down as we get ready for Rohen to make his arrival.  I’m wrapping up the end of my 37th week and I’ll be 38 weeks on Wednesday.  So, here’s my little bump update.
36 Week Baby Bump Update Southern Made Blog
37 Weeks Baby Bump Update Southern Made Blog
How far along? 37 Weeks
Total weight gain: 32 lbs
Maternity clothes? Oh yes…not a whole lot of my non-maternity clothes are stretching to fit my big ole belly anymore.

Stretch marks? No.  Didn’t get them with Harper, so I’m hopeful this time around as well.  Fingers crossed!
Sleep: Sleeping hard…until I try to turn over and that wakes me up.  This boy is HEAVY!
Best moment this week: Getting all of our bags packed and hearing Harper tell Daddy that he wanted to go to the hospital to see Rohen.  Be still my heart! I can’t wait to see my two sweet babies together!

Miss Anything? Feeling comfortable. Lol! The last few weeks of pregnancy are rough, y’all!
Movement: He’s still moving as much as he has room to.  Mostly jabs and punches. :) 
Food cravings: Still watermelon.  I’m a lot less hungry for a meal these days and finding myself just snacking more.  There’s not much room in there aside from baby boy.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Labor Signs: Yes

Symptoms: Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and some cramping.  Plus, I was 1cm dilated at my 36 week check up.  Still progressing towards labor, so I’m eager for my 38 week check up this week.
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On…which I’m shocked.  I had swelling SO bad with Harper in the winter right before I delivered. So I really expected to swell being in my third trimester in the heat of the summer.  Happy to report no swelling and still wearing my ring.  Wooohooo!!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Super happy and excited for this little guy to make his arrival.  We are as prepared as we can be, so we’re just counting the days now.
Looking forward to: Snuggling my little boys and being a family of four.  Plus, just having a newborn to kiss and smell and snuggle…and well, just enjoy all the things this little bundle will bring.

I didn’t have labor symptoms like this with Harper’s pregnancy and we ended up inducing at 39 weeks.  So, it’s weird feeling all of this and not knowing when I’ll go into labor.  Plus, taking my pregnancy photos and not knowing if it will be my last baby bump picture.  The countdown has begun!

Mamas, when did you go into labor with your kiddo?

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.

Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

Yes, please! Count me in! This may have been the best one yet. @urbanaircoolsprings had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. So much fun, pizza, cupcakes, and lots of celebrating. 

Between the trampolines, rock climbing walls, ball pits, playground, ropes course, and VR, I’d say these boys had a blast! Two birthdays to remember. Thanks for a great day, @urbanaircoolsprings!
