The Last Trimester of Pregnancy

Sorry I haven't updated since week 22 of pregnancy! We are now at 36.5 weeks! We are so excited to be welcoming a sweet baby girl in a just a few short weeks! We have been busy finishing the nursery and getting the essentials for our little girl to be spoiled at home. These last few weeks have been so-so for me...uncomfortable, hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in, increased fatigue, her feet in my ribs, etc. We are now going to the doctor weekly and can't believe she will be full-term on Wednesday! Last doctor's visit went great but no signs of labor! We go back on Monday for our last ultrasound to determine her approximate weight and length and determine if any progress toward labor is being made :) We are so excited! Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks that I've missed!
