This week we are 38 weeks pregnant!
only two more weeks until her due date...

Weight gain/loss: I'm up 23/24lb depending on the day. Pretty happy with how my weight gain has turned out, especially since I've heard it's a lot harder to take off the baby weight with the second baby.
Sleep? I've been having a hard time getting to sleep and going back to sleep when I wake up. Several times this week I've woken up at 4am and haven't been able to go back to sleep. Miss Khloe's just preparing me for the next 3-6 month of very interrupted sleep!
Movement? She's still moving and shaking and hiccuping!
Symptoms: Still feeling Khloe really low- so feeling lots of pain and pressure in my pelvis, my heartburn and shortness of breath is gone! (yay!) Other than that I'm just generally feeling tired and ready for Miss Khloe to be here!
Food Cravings: This week I've been craving In and Out! :) There's just nothing like a cheeseburger with grilled onions on it! Oh and I've craved Mcdonalds french fries (very healthy cravings!!)... so MK and I made a trip to indulge!

Belly button: I'm rocking an outtie!
What I miss? Getting comfortable! I can't wait to sleep on my stomach in less than two weeks!
What I'm looking forward to? I'm so excited about meeting Khloe! I'm also excited about Christmas with Maddie this year... it's going to be so fun to watch her opening presents this year. I wish Khloe could be here to celebrate with us, but we are going to cherish this last Christmas as a family of three. I'm also super excited that after Friday, Mike has the next two weeks off!! :)
Mommy reflections: I've been writing some of my favorite verses in a little flip book that I can meditate on when I'm nursing, and I came across this one in Philippians that I've marked as my new prayer for my girls : I pray that your love will overflow more and more and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ's return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation- the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ- for this will bring much glory and praise to God. Phil 1:9-11
I know how hard it can be to keep in the Word and how important it is, so I'm hoping that having this flip book to meditate on will help me when I'm tired and feeling overwhelmed!
Big sister? Is getting excited about Khloe coming, but not because she's getting a little sister, because Gigi and Poppy are coming! She asks every day when Gigi and Poppy will be here or if she can go to "Fworda" to Gigi and Poppy's house! :)
Dr. Appointment notes: We had our 37 week appointment last Friday afternoon... it was a quick check up and my BP/weight/fundal height and K's heartbeat all checked out great! We see Dr. C again on Thursday morning, and then she's gone for Christmas until the 28th... so I'm telling Khloe she needs to come before Thursday or not until eviction day because I really really want Dr. C to be at her delivery. I'm praying hard for that now, although I know that the Lord is in control and whoever needs to deliver K will be there.
Today we went for our 38 week dr appointment with Dr. C. Everything checked out great- BP was perfect, weight gain on track and my belly measured 38 weeks. She checked me cause I've been getting crampy contractions on and off lately. I'm 3cm and 60%! She did let us know that we were on the waiting list for the 28th, so theres a chance that if no one goes into labor before hand, we wouldn't be able to induce then. I was totally ok with this- my prayer has been even after we decided to try and induce on the 28th that the Lord would pick her due date and make it incredibly clear if the 28th was it. Dr. C said she would keep us in the loop and would call L&D every day during her vacation to see if there was an opening. We go back on the 26th with Dr. Vu, since Dr. C is still on her Christmas vacation.

The end is so near!!! But it still seems so far...
