37 Week Bumpdate

37 Week Bumpdate

size of the baby: Lettuce– about 18.9+ inches, and probably close to 7+ pounds!

total weight gain: about 24 pounds now.

gender: Little Man

clothes: Leggings and comfy shorts all day everyday! I have about 3 cute tops that fit and besides that i’m in Kevin’s shirts around the house.

movement: He is always on the go. His movements are not only startling now, but actually hurt sometimes.

sleep: I have been sleeping HORRIBLE! I have been waking up at all hours of the night with contractions and cramping that keep me up for hours. I keep thinking “this is it, it might be go time”.. then nope, they will fade out after a few hours. I am really getting tired of it.

missing: normal life! I feel like I am in such a weird waiting period. I feel like he could come any day but then he just doesn’t.

craving: ehh… limeades, ice cream occasionally and sweet things.

symptoms/update: Well, last Thursday night we went to the hospital again because of contractions. I had some movement and other stuff going on, basically I was in labor but only progressed to a certain point. They ended up sending us home and to our doctor the next morning. Our doctor didn’t expect us to make it through the weekend, but we did. Its so crazy. We have no idea how he is hanging in there.

kevin is: excited to meet him now, and much more patient than me! He is being really patient with me as well, I’m slightly cranky a lot of the time.

looking forward to: going into actual labor! I am really tired of constant contractions and pressure. I am so ready!

best moments: um… this hasn’t been the best week with the hospital visit, and Brooke is sick so hopefully he will make his appearance soon and Brooke will be on the mend!

  • Costco run → FULL Dino Mom win 🛒🦖✨#ad

These are freezer staples. They’re quick, kid-approved, and so easy to turn into something fun—whether it’s a snack board, after-school bite, or little movie night moment 💛

Made with no antibiotics ever, 100% all natural, plus 9g protein and Omega-3s… so I feel just as good serving them as my kids do eating them 🙌🏻

Trust me—next Costco trip, just grab them.

  • Mother’s Day plans 💐 = DONE ✔️✨

If you’re looking for a way to truly spoil mom this year, this is your sign 💐 We spent the day at @TBahama and it was everything—from the prettiest gift finds to the most delicious lunch all in one place.

We found the cutest pieces (this bag + hat combo… obsessed 💗), cozy staples you’ll wear on repeat, plus jewelry, accessories, and even Maui Jim sunnies 👏🏻

Then we topped it off with lunch and let me just say… their Mother’s Day weekend menu is going to be unreal! Oat Banana Pancakes, Lobster & Crab Crepes, AND a “Call Your Mother” cocktail—yes please 🥂

Honestly, you could do the entire day right here and make mom feel so special (and grab a gift card while you’re at it 😉)

Save this idea for Mother’s Day💕
