week 40

average size: 18.9 to 20.9 inches, 6.2 to 9.2 lbs.
what's going on with baby: "She's continuing to grow hair and nails, and she's keeping up that lung development, too. Happy due date! You made it! Since 40 weeks was the deadline you set for baby, you’ve probably already made sure the bassinet is made up, the car seat is installed and your hospital bag is by the door. Now, do some little things you might have forgotten, like making sure your cell phone is fully charged before you go to bed and the car is filled with gas. Some moms-to-be also choose to put a waterproof mattress cover on their bed, just in case their water breaks in the middle of the night. It’s not a must-do, but it’s not a bad idea either."



I HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL THOSE THINGS WEEKS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha...not gonna lie...when i typed in "week 40" as the title of this post, i was a little perturbed lol...even though it's her due date, i think all women hope their babies will come a smidge early and you never have to reach that "week 40" mark. but, she's still cookin' i guess! can't be much longer now, so i just have to stay patient.

here's the bump photo! this SHOULD be my last one! hopefully!!! (as i jinx myself lol...)

and, ummmmm....we really didn't do much this past week. everything is done, so i just tried to keep busy and i started working a bit on her scrapbook.

i got this scrapbook a couple years ago from an old friend, and never got to use it for anything, so it was perfect for remi! 

i don't have too much to add to the book yet, so this didn't take me very long, but i'm really excited to show her one day when she's older because i remember looking at the scrapbooks my mom put together for my brother and i, and i really thought they were so cool! i just love looking at old stuff :) 

i didn't glue anything down because i want her to be able to pull things out and look at them. the plastic sheets are great for keeping everything together.

i also got bored and morphed our faces together on this website to "see" what remi "will look like" hahaha...

cute! but this is an older baby, so i guess we'll have to wait and see if she ends up looking like this one day lol...

this past week at my midwife appointment, i finally got to see maureen!!! remember a while back when i said  i made her wedding cake years ago and that she was going to be joining the midwife group i see?

the cake i made for her :)

well last week was the first time i got to see her at an appointment! just right before the end of my pregnancy! it was so nice to catch up with her and see her again since it's been years since she got married. since i'm at the end though, i probably unfortunately won't get to see her again unless she is the one to catch the baby, so we'll see! that would be awesome!

also...i'm really hoping there isn't a "week 41" post lol...so i'll just say now what i plan on doing once she is born. i'll probably blog once a month with things that have happened each month in her life. that way, i'll never forget the cute little things she's done :) so probably no more weekly posts after she's here because things will just get too hectic. maybe i'll do random posts here and there with the monthly posts, who knows haha...all i know is that i really like blogging because i like looking back on things and remembering little details i might normally forget :)
