How far along? 38 (ish) Weeks
Maternity clothes? Yep. I’m about ready to say adios to clingy clothing!
Stretch marks? Still none. My belly has been so tender from my skin being stretched to kingdom come, so I’ve been rubbing coconut oil on it every night. That gives me some relief and will hopefully help if there are any stretch marks hiding out.
Sleep: Sleeping okay. Usually just a few hours at a time. Guess I better get used to that. :)
Best moment this week: Getting showered with love and goodies for our baby boy. I had some sweet friends put together a little baby shower that was unexpected, but so very appreciated and precious. If there was ever anything to celebrate…a sweet baby would be it.

Worst moment this week: Heartburn has kicked into overdrive lately. I definitely won’t miss that!
Miss Anything? Wine & Cocktails! I had a Coconut popsicle this week that tasted just like a Pina Colada. Bring on the fruity drinks and umbrellas in the next couple of weeks!
Movement: Yep, feels like he’s trying to punch his way out.
Labor Signs: Yes! Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and some cramping. I haven’t progressed anymore in the past two weeks. So I’m hopeful that when I go in today I’ll have moved a little more towards labor. Fingers crossed!
Belly Button in or out? Out
Looking forward to: Meeting our sweet boy in the next week or so! I can’t believe we’re already to that point.

This sweet little boy is so excited about baby brother! He talks about Rohen more every day. I can’t wait to see them together! I know our hearts are going to just grow even bigger and be so full. I’m one lucky mama!

Thanks, girl! I can’t believe it either. This second pregnancy has gone by so fast! We’re counting down the days until we get to meet him!
