Food I want in my belly: Sandwiches and sno-cones

Food I want nowhere near me: Nothing new…

Baby Prep to Do: Hospital bag is packed, car seat is installed, and nursery is complete…so this week there is not much to do.

Highlight of the week: I somehow managed to get Tim to clean the baseboards in the entire house…my nesting is rubbing off on him. Is it weird I feel so relaxed now that I have clean baseboards??

Exercise regimen: Crossfit x 2 days…and lots of walking…I use the term CF very loosely as there are only a few things I am still doing.

Maternity Clothes:  Maternity…yep!

Baby Gender: A sweet baby girl

Pregnancy Symptoms: Had a little bit of swelling in my right leg a few times this week. I added a stool under my desk to put my feet on and I haven’t noticed anymore swelling.

Item(s) I could not live without: Pen and paper to keep track of all the “To Do’s”

Anything else worth mentioning?  Started my weekly check-ups…as of today I am a big fat ZERO centimeters dilated so looks like we still have a few more weekly blogs ahead.
