Well, here we are!

By brain is fuzzy and scrambled this week. I'm forgetting things more and more, and I'm in full 'nesting' mode. Therefore, this post is probably going to be a bit scattered and disorganized. I just can't seem to settle my head down to anything other than baby stuff right now. I've tried to help out a bit labeling.

6 days

It's the last week of pregnancy! Baby Harmy is due this coming Monday, and if she doesn't show up by Thursday, we'll start talking induction at my weekly doctor's appointment! Yea, yea, I know, it's best to let baby come when baby is ready. But my first was a week overdue before we induced, and I REALLY don't want to wait that long. Don't worry. I'll be reasonable :-P

The skinny

I haven't been keeping up with my weight gain progress either. I've gained about 10-15 pounds total throughout the pregnancy. That's well within what the doctor told me was okay, but I'm still disappointed. I wanted to be down to my pre-preggo weight before I delivered, but working out has been VERY hard this last month. Contractions have been on and off and I've been sick with a virus all this past week.

Cravings:

Eating has been really difficult. I wake up in the middle of the night craving roast beef sandwiches and Arby's Angus beef and cheddar! The thing is, I REALLY DON"T CARE FOR BEEF! I tried eating broccoli instead because it has a lot of iron, but it just didn't satisfy that yearning for a big meaty sandwich! I stopped buying mayo because I was going through like crazy. Between meat and cheese cravings and sweet cravings (cookies have been haunting me), it's been really hard to refrain from in between meal eating. I have to admit, I haven't been successful all the time.

Inspiration:

But this morning I read some really inspirational posts on various blogs. This one was especially helpful from REAL FAT. I'm about to lose 20-30 pounds here really quickly, and with the baby out and breastfeeding coming on, this is the perfect time to remind myself NOT TO QUIT!

I'll post pictures! 

Please keep us in mind and prayers this week as we get ready to welcome a new life into our family and the world.
