For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalms 139: 13&14

37 Weeks!

How far along: 37 weeks 1 day. HOWEVER.... your eviction notice has been officially served, little lady! 11 days! I'm being induced May 4th since the doctors FINALLY agree that you're actually 38 weeks and 1 day. I knew you were not conceived on my girl's beach trip! haha

Maternity clothes: Pretty much all of the time except for yoga pants or my tennis skirts and running shorts. Those are low enough to still fit with a maternity tank.

Sleep: Getting tougher. I get up 2-3 times a night to use the bathroom and I wake up still tired and in pain. My body aches!

Best moment this week
: Getting an official induction date! May 4th!!!!!

Movement : Less movement but when you do it's painful. My sciatic nerve has been bothering me terribly this week as you've settled nice and low!

Cravings:
I've lost my appetite but I'm still enjoying popsicles and frozen strawberry lemonade.

Gender:
GIRL! Avery Madison Wise!

Labor Signs
:You've dropped nice and low according to the doctor! I'm not dilating yet but I've had a lot of random contractions since then so hopefully we've made progress!

Belly Button in our out?
Grossly out. Parker keeps trying to push it in.

What I miss
: Not being in pain... I'd like my body back!
 
What am I looking forward to? This week I'm oddly interested in your hair. I'm excited to see if you have any. If you do, is it blond? brown? OR..... red?!!!! I don't know why but the last few days I've started to think you may be a red head like your poppi. There's a good chance!
 
We are ready for you, little lady!
Your bag is packed!
The bag contains 6 outfits/sleepers and 14 bows.... should be sufficient.
 Your car seat is now in the car. Fully equipped with your brand new car seat canopy I made yesterday! We don't need germy hands all over you! It will also be handy for when it's raining, when you're sleeping, keeping the sun off of you or the old ladies in Harris Teeter on senior citizen day from touching you in the meat isle after touching chicken. The thought makes me sick.
Yes, the bows were necessary
 We have diapers stacked to the ceiling of your closet thanks to all of mommy's awesome friends who blessed us with these!
Have I mentioned that I should be the spokeswoman for Target brand diapers? LOVE THEM!
 Your closet is full of precious clothes. Don't fret. They go further to the right and left. These are only your newborn-6 month clothes. The rest are packed away for later! Girl's gotta have an outfit a day, right!?
I am so proud that your closet contains more than various shades of pink! I did; however, just email daddy an email with the subject line of "hint hint." I think we need a hot pink moby wrap. What do you think? Girl's gotta ride in style!

SOOOO........ as you can see.... we're ready. Your stuff is ready, my bag is ready and my body is BEYOND READY!!!!! Let's get this show on the road, baby girl. How about tomorrow? I'd love an Easter bunny!
