37 Weeks...

How Far Along: 37 Weeks!
Full term!

Size of baby: Baby C is around 19 inches long and weighing around 6.4 pounds

Total Weight Gain: 34 pounds!


Maternity Clothes: Still wearing a mix of everything, although mostly maternity. Just regular jeans.


Gender:
BOY!! Baby Cullen!!


Movement: His movements have slowed down a lot, I think this is because he FINALLY flipped!
Pretty sure he did this on Tuesday evening, I was SO uncomfortable that evening.
I've read that he should still be moving a lot but that's not the case, makes me a little worried.


Sleep: Sleep is still pretty good. I love sleep :)


What I miss: Nothing.

Cravings: Nothing in particular.

Symptoms: Still having braxton hicks, although not very often.  I have some ligament pain and sharp pains down there at times as well.  After sitting for an hour or two and then standing to walk, it's a bit uncomfortable but that's expected.  Cramping has started as well, not often or for long periods of time though.


What I’m looking forward to:
Meeting our little man!!!
We had a doctor appt this morning and doc said Cullen is flipped and could come at anytime now!!
I'm so excited!! I have no nervous feelings (yet).
We have our hospital tour this Saturday.

weekly fuzzy phone pics...
 not sure how i can look tired, i slept for 11 hours!

billy was not happy that i was making fun of him because the first time he attached the swing it was pretty much upside down! haha!!

i put together the bouncy seat...

the off-centered pillow in the pic is bothering me ;)

Shower #3...

I had my third and final shower over the weekend!
Cullen is SO very loved and spoiled already!!!
I'm so thankful for all the wonderful people we have in our lives!

The shower was at our townhome and I was a little nervous about fitting 20 people BUT it worked out perfect!  & everyone got to see the nursery!
My Mom, sis and best friend Laura hosted the shower for me, it was nice to see so many friends, neighbors and family!

I'll let the pictures do the explaining...
There were a TON of pics, my mom had my camera.

One of the games played was the one where everyone had to guess how big around I was. 
Kayla and her mom Theresa, in the picture below were the winners!


opening all the wonderful presents!


 jumper from billy's mom and sis!
a super cute diaper cake from my friend andrea!
(i had no idea my dress was smashing my chest up, jeez!!)
 cake that matches his room theme!

auntie lexie (my sis) found some cute, unique clothes at a boutique!


ALLLLL the goodies!!
love this bib my aunt found!!
believe it or not culley got quite a few more clothes....ha!
i need to buy more hangers!! like at least 20 ;)
some of my very good friends....

Billy's mom, sis and niece...
his niece had the cutest little outfit on! i wish i would've gotten a picture with her.

my besties little man...

my mom sis and i...

me and my sissy...
GUS the king of the household!  He thinks the nursery is for him, he always hangs out in there :)

Hopefully this was enough pictures ;)
I only posted about half.

Billy is putting together the swing right now.
He said there are 40 pages of instructions...have fun honey! ha!

My parents got Cullen a highchair for that shower, it's in the mail!
I think Billy will get to wait a few months to put that together.

I'm pretty sure we are about as ready as we can be.
I have a few things to exchange and we need a couple more bottles but otherwise I think we are set!
I do plan to b.f. but you never know if baby will go along with those plans and if it will work for us.
