39 Weeks

 Ta da!!! I have survived. :) Here I am at 39 weeks, with less than a week to go until my due date! :) Camille has gotten bigger, but she has been a bit kinder on my body than Claire. I have gained 20 pounds now (I gained 40 with Claire), and am feeling more than a little squished. :) However, since I have a comparison of being (what felt like) much bigger and lower-carrying with Claire, I don't feel too awful like I remember being the first time around. But...it also isn't the dog days of summer yet, and we have yet to see if Camille will come on time or not. I'm holding out for the end of this week! :)

A close-up of my baby belly. Kristie and Barth and their kiddos arrived today, and I'm so excited to spend the next couple of weeks with them! :) I'm sure that even if I go overdue, there will be plenty of fun to go around (and still keep me distracted from thinking about being overdue). I am excited to catch up with Kristie, and I know that Claire is SO excited to play with her cousins (even though she is pretty shy at first)!!! :) Here's hoping that the next post I make will have a cute new baby picture instead of just a baby belly! Come on, Camille! :) We are all looking forward to meeting you, little one. :)

37 Weeks

 We got another picture of Claire the other day in her ladybug dress (since the ones I took before disappeared), and I just wanted to post it on here. :) The ladybug bows are ones that I made from a bow website that Kristie told me about. :)

Here I am at 37 weeks with Camille. Hooray! Camille is technically "full-term" now. On Friday at my appointment I was measuring right at 37 weeks, and Camille's heartbeat was 148. She is looking good! :) I got to see her on the sonogram because the nurse practitioner that saw me at my appointment thought Camille was head up. Nope! She is definitely situated head down, with those cute little feet and bottom stuffed up into my ribs these days. Usually her head is down (with her fist next to it) in my left hip...with her feet up on the right side of my ribs, and kicking on over into my diaphragm. But it was sure fun to see her. She was pretty quiet during the sonogram, so I was able to get a good look at her. :) Hopefully soon (if she can come out on time) we will ALL be able to get a good look at her! :)
