Sleep: I'm fully prepared to never experience it again.
Best moment this week: Brian's birthday and spending some quality time together:)
Movement: Mommy's ribs are fun to play with apparently.
Food cravings: Cream cheese.
Belly Button in or out? Evaporating before my very eyes!
What I miss: Oh, there's a long list.
What I am looking forward to: See above.
Weekly Wisdom: Only 3 more weeks... Only 3 more weeks...
Milestones: Today Sidney is full term, so if he wants to come early his little lungs should be fully capable of screaming as loud as he wants!

37 Weeks
It's September and Sidney's full term!!
How your baby's growing:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.
Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

35 Week Survey
Sleep: I miss it:(
Best moment this week: The one night that I did sleep 8 hours straight, with the help of a glass of wine- don't worry, Dr said it was ok. It's even recommended occasionally.
Movement: Getting few and far between, but he's running out of room in there, so it's expected.
Food cravings: Chocolate ice cream and cottage cheese, but not together.
Belly Button in or out? Still got it!
What I miss: Pants without huge elastic waists that make my stomach itch.
What I am looking forward to: Pants that don't have huge elastic waists that make my stomach itch.
Weekly Wisdom: "It is not physically possible to be pregnant forever."
Milestones: Just getting closer every day!

35 Weeks
Theoretically only 5 weeks to go!
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

Home Makeover Post, Take Two
Ok, internet. Please do not eat this entry. I have learned how to outsmart you and will be saving my work periodically this time.
Here is an update to all the work we have been doing on our house lately. If you are on my Facebook, you've seen these already- they're just organized into albums now. But if you (read: my mother) don't have a FB account, then these pictures are brand new to you and I hope you enjoy them.
And furthermore, I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad for all of the hard work they have done to make this a reality. Without their guidance and several weekends of hard work and sacrifice, Brian and I would probably still be at square one. Thank you guys for helping us preparing a home that CPS won't be tempted to take Sidney out of. (just a joke about the CPS thing, funny ha-ha)
AND ON WITH THE PICTURES! Keep in mind, this is still a work in progress- more pictures to follow in the coming days/weeks.
Sidney's Room
Upstairs Bathroom
Downstairs Bathroom
Gameroom/Family Room
Miscelaneous B&A's
