I am so happy to be done with fall semester! It was SO hard, but I am grateful to have done it! Almost graduated :) 3 more classes and Peru and I will have a degree! I know that I was blessed immensely to be able to do everything I needed to, and more. I have so much gratitude in my heart for all the help that was given to me from kind people, and all the love I could feel from my Heavenly Father.
So, as of my appointment last Friday I was 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced (basically, my body is getting prepped for this birth) and then since then, things have been progressing even more! Guys, my contractions are getting strong! Last night I was just lying in bed and one totally took my breath away and lasted for over a minute, and those are happening fairly frequently the whole past day or two. There's other signs too that are pointing to imminent labor, but most of them are gross so I won't go into detail. :) Let's just say I may be getting my new years baby, or sooner! Though, I could still be waiting till full term, you can never be quite sure of these things, and I've never done this before so I'm not sure what's normal for me.

Oh hey 36 week baby bump!
celebrating finishing finals at the Hobbit!
My own plate holder, and a really terrible picture of me haha
Ward Christmas party!
William has his own stocking!!
Best Buy is my new favorite store just for having this parking! Why is this not everywhere???
BABY IS THE SIZE OF: A huge squash! This kid is likely in the 6-7 pound range, and his full height that he will be at birth (my guess is 21 inches)
SLEEP: Sleeping as much as I can while I can! I don't have much sleeping time left.
MOVEMENT: it's amazing how much he can move while being all squished up in there! He dropped though which gave him a bit more room (and me a bit more breathing space, ahh)
BEST MOMENT OF THE WEEK: I have officially passed all my classes! and not Just passed, I did Well in all of them! It is basically a miracle.
FOOD CRAVINGS: Toast, avocados, salads, and chicken nuggets, yum!
ANYTHING MAKE YOU QUEASY: Let's just say I am always grateful for Zofran and Tums.
WEIGHT GAIN: Another 3 pounds in the past couple weeks :) love it!.
HAPPY OR MOODY: Mostly happy! And Nervous, and excited :)
SYMPTOMS:
- back aches
- Acid reflux / random morning sickness
- peeing so much!
- bloody show (gross but true, and means labor is coming soon!)
- Braxton hicks getting strong and more consistent :)
- So much Nesting!!! Must clean all the things before baby gets here!
LOOKING FORWARD TO: Christmas in 2 days!!! and this baby getting here :) possibly sooner than I expected him
