The great Pottery Barn rug that I got from a consignment sale. 

The new and improved bathroom. 

I have really enjoyed being pregnant and it has been a very easy and wonderful experience. However...I am sick of being pregnant now! I know that there will be struggles with having a newborn but I believe that I am ready to face that challenge. I am ready to hold my baby boy in my arms and feel the unconditional love that I know I will have for him (and for those of you who think I'm delusional...I know there will be times at the beginning when I will not like him and will possibly want to "put him back.") But I would really love to start the new chapter of my life sooner than later. In just 3 days I will considered full term. To avoid the wimpy white boy syndrome, I'd like for him to come on October 19th! Is that too much to ask? Although I'd like to meet my son on that day, I'm thinking it will more likely be November 8th before he's here. Oh well, that's still really soon!
How far along? 36 weeks 

Total weight gain/loss: 26 pounds.  Not too thrilled about weighing more than Isaiah. 

Maternity clothes? Of course. 

Sleep: Is ok. I really, really want to sleep on my stomach again and be able to roll over without lots of effort and a few moans. 

Best moment this week: Finishing Liam's bathroom and bedroom! Yay! I feel accomplished! 

Movement: He's definitely still moving. 

Food cravings: Baked potato from Jim and Nicks! Then, Isaiah ordered lemonade and it was the most wonderful thing that I have ever put in my mouth! Also, I ate an entire box of Rice Crispy Treats, then I made some and ate those too! 

Belly Button in or out? In, just really stretched

What I miss: Normal fall clothes. 

What I am looking forward to: My doctor’s appointment on Monday!!! And, Isaiah coming home on Tuesday!
