How Far Along: 39 weeks
Size of baby: 20 inches and a bit over 7 pounds -- on a personal note, at my doctor's appointment this past week, Dr. Thompson said he didn't think this baby was as big as Bailey was, so that is good news!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: not sure, but I can't wait to get rid of the extra pounds!
Maternity Clothes: Wearing the same few outfits over and over again now. :)
Gender: Boy, and I *think* we are settled on the whole name now, at least I am, haha!
Movement: Most days he is moving a lot. Definitely starting to run out of room cause sometimes it's painful! I feel him mostly in the evening/night, but that's probably just because that's when I am sitting and relaxing.
Sleep: Sleep just depends on the night... some nights it's good, some not so good. Up once or twice to pee every night.
What I miss: Sleeping well all the time, but like I said last time, that's gone for a good while now. Also, it's hard to be comfortable when I am sitting sometimes.
Cravings: Nothing, besides wanting to eat everything in sight, ha!
Symptoms: Some heartburn, some pressure and cramping.
Best Moment this week: I've been loving spending time with Bailey, and with Anthony. It is such a blessing to have Anthony home right now so we can treasure these last few days as a family of 3!

Meal Plan Monday
We have VBS at church this week and the church/lifegroups are providing dinner for only $2 a person. Since I just share my plate with Bailey, we can't beat dinner for our family for $4, so it's a pretty easy week for us! It would also be great with me if any of our dinners this week consisted of hospital meals for the purpose of having delivered a baby! :)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: don't really have any idea.... 2 weeks ago they told me something way more than what I first thought it was (still an okay weight gain though), so I just decided to quit caring, haha!

Gender: Boy, and I think we are almost settled on a name. We've had our first name for a while, and are still tossing around a few middle names.
Movement: Most days he is moving a lot. Definitely starting to run out of room cause sometimes it's painful!
Sleep: Sleep just depends on the night... some nights it's good, some not so good.
What I miss: Sleeping well all the time, but like I said last time, that's gone for a good while now. Also, it's hard to be comfortable when I am sitting sometimes.
Cravings: Nothing, besides wanting to eat everything in sight, ha!
Symptoms: Some heartburn, some braxton hicks contractions.
Best Moment this week: Just enjoying this time with just the 3 of us, knowing that life is about to majorly change!

Three Cheese Chicken Penne Pasta
I have shared this meal on my meal plan, but realized that you can't see it unless you are friends w/ Anthony's cousin Carissa, who I got the recipe from. And, oh my, this recipe is too good not to share. It is really similar to its namesake from Applebees. Anthony told me I could start my own restaurant with this. This serves the 3 of us, with one bowl leftover. Pretty simple to make and SO tasty, so here it is....
Place 2 chicken breasts in 1/3 cup of Italian dressing to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Chop 2 tomatoes and 2 to 3 garlic cloves. Combine with 1 teaspoon of basil to make bruschetta. Set aside.
Cook 3 cups of penne pasta. Drain.
Grill (or broil, we've only grilled) the chicken.
Divide pasta into two (or up to four, we do four) microwavable bowls.
Pour one 15 oz. jar alfredo sauce over pasta in each bowl.
Layer on bruschetta, chicken, and one package of Italian Cheese (I've used Italian Style Five Cheese Blend from Target) evenly in all bowls.
Microwave each bowl for 2 to 3 minutes.
Enjoy! Let me know if you try it and what you think! :)

36 Weeks
How Far Along: 36 Weeks.... what???!!!
Size of baby: the size of a crenshaw melon?? (almost 6 pounds) and over 18 1/2 inches long
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I am at no more than 15 pounds.... go back to the doc on Friday so maybe I'll ask then
Maternity Clothes: I'm at the point now where only so many shirts are long enough to cover the belly. I'm actually wearing one of Anthony's tall white undershirts today! :)
Gender: Boy, and I think we are almost settled on a name. We've had our first name for a while, and are still tossing around a few middle names. If he was born today, I think I know which one we would go with, but I'm still keeping my options open till he IS born!
Movement: Most days he is moving a lot. Definitely starting to run out of room cause sometimes it's painful!
Sleep: Sleep is getting more tough now. It's hard to get comfortable and last night I was awake several times tossing and turning. Guess this is to be expected.
What I miss: Just sleeping well... but I guess that's gone for at the very least a year now, haha!
Cravings: Nothing really.
Symptoms: Some heartburn, some braxton hicks contractions.
Best Moment this week: This last week was a rough one with Bailey hurting her hand/arm, but it's so fun to be able to talk with her about how it's only a few more weeks till baby brother comes out, and seeing her talking to him in the belly. I think she will be a great big sister. :)
