37 Weeks

****** Meant to get this up on Friday. The weekend was just too awesome. *****

Yay! I'm 37 weeks, technically full term. But I'm pretty darn sure she is not coming early. So I still have 3+ weeks to get all those little things, or big things, I need. 

This also marks week 2 of my cold. I hate feeling under the weather. It's gone from just-slightly-irritating to don't-want-to-leave-my-bed to just-feeling-plain-yucky. We have guests arriving later today. I'm not 100% yet, so I'll still take it easy, but I'm feeling a lot more human than I did on Monday. And I can't wait to see them! 

How far along?  37 weeks  

Total Weight Gained? 28 pounds    

Maternity Clothes?   Yes - but a lot don't quite fit anymore. I'm large.

Stretch Marks?  No  (happy dance while fingers are still crossed)

Sleep? My cold has made sleeping even more of a pain     

Best Moment the Week? For as miserable as I've felt this week I've also had a lot of great moments. 

Grove Park Inn & Spa in Asheville, NC

We went to Grove Park Inn last weekend. -Absolutely gorgeous!!! It is only 2 hours away, nestled in the mountains overlooking Asheville, NC. We had great sunset dinners and a great day of spa while the men golfed. Their website does not give the resort or spa justice. I was totally blown away.

  A funny - their XL robe didn't fit around my belly. I had to wear a 5xl robe at the spa! lol.

Another great moment was the American Women's Club Shanghai's Reunion in Charleston. We met so many great ladies when we lived in Shanghai. It was fun to see them again.Unfortunately I didn't feel great, so I went to bed after dinner instead of staying up and chatting. But I treasured the time and conversations I had. It is a true testament to this group of outstanding ladies when you can meet new faces and forge friendships and laughs.

Miss anything?  Feeling well  

Movement?  She's still moving a lot. Puts a smile on my face every time  

Food Cravings? No. My appetite is smaller and I've been eating a lot of chicken noodle soup   

Anything making you queasy or sick? No   

Have you started to show yet?  Yes - The ladies at the reunion were all happily surprised for me   

Gender?  Girl

Labor Signs?   No

Belly Button – In or Out?  Out  

Wedding Rings – On or Off? Only my anniversary band

Moody?  Terribly moody this week. But I blame that on not feeling well. 

Looking Forward To…    

This weekend! Two couples arrive later today as well as Husband. He's been in Philly all week. I can't wait to see everyone. We are all going to the Missouri-South Carolina football game tomorrow. I'm glad Mizzou joined the SEC. Now we get to see them play. And this weekend, with our house full, will be tons of fun!
