I have had a lot more people tell me that they think Baby Coutts is a boy lately. We just can't wait to see!
We had a little scare at our 34 week appointment because my belly had not grown and was not growing. We did an ultrasound just to make sure that everything was okay. No worries, Baby is fine and still measuring about a week ahead size wise. And don't fret, that 97th percentile noggin just jumped right on up to the 99th percentile. My ultrasound tech laughed and said "you can do it Jenna". Oh goody. The exciting thing about the ultrasound though, is that we got see some peach fuzz on baby's head! That's right, Baby has hair! Which would also explain my serious heartburn [according to Old Wive's Tales at least].
Just yesterday, I had two people comment on how I seemed to have really "popped" this week. I guess I didn't look too big, and now I do...I'll let you be the judge of that.
35 Weeks
36 Weeks
37 Weeks
The nursery is finally almost complete! I got the bumper pads and quilt my grandmother made and I am so in love! It took awhile to get the bumper pads, because she accidentally sent them to our old apartment. David knocked and left a note on the person's door, and I did the same the following week. I also had the management call him and leave him a voicemail. My note was pretty pathetic, begging for him to call so I could get the nursery stuff my grandmother had made for our baby, which was due in a month. He called that night. Boy oh boy was I thrilled! I will do a nursery reveal very soon, but here's a sneak peak at the quilt.
David and I have also been testing out all of our goodies with my childhood stuffed bear, Albert. He's bigger than a newborn, but does the job well. He has tried out our pack 'n play, crib [for placement of the video monitor], car seat, wrap, and carrier. He's a super star. And it was pretty fun getting to play with all of our baby stuff!
David also installed the car seat in my car! Wow! It's getting so real! My mom asked if the blue cover was a hint...no, it's not. We got it at the awesome consignment sale we went to for $5. I figure if it's a girl, I'll put some pink bows on where it attaches to the handle.
Questionnaire Time:
Total weight gain/loss? 28lbs. Yeah...4lbs in the past week. What can I say, I'm a champ.
Maternity clothes? You know it.
Stretch marks? Not yet
Sleep? It's an unfortunate thing. Once I get comfy my hip or shoulder falls asleep. I also wake up about every 3 hours to pee. Just preparing for motherhood ya know :)
Best moment this week? David and I went on a date night to see The Jungle Book because he actually had a Monday night off!
Miss anything? Being Comfortable and sleeping soundly. My ankles being the same size... In the past week, only my right ankle/foot will swell. It's so weird, and I do not enjoy it at all.
Movement? Yes. It is very visible too. Baby hiccups crack me up too. And this little babe gets them often and for long periods of time.
Food Cravings? Sweets! I have a daily popsicle and oreos :)
Anything making you queasy or sick? Not really.

Happy or Moody most of the time? I think I'm pretty happy. I feel very calm and at peace with everything really.
Looking forward to? Meeting Baby! We're so close!
Just for giggles:
