35 weeks

Yesterday was my 35 week appointment went great.  Mason was right on track with a HR of 131.  My doctor said he would just check me at the next appointment unless I wanted him to do it that day.  I said I did (I am pretty sure last appointment he told me he was going to check me at this appointment, so why not?) and he told me not to be upset if I was not progressed at all since I was only 35 weeks.  He proceeded to check me and said, "Hmmm that is interesting." I was like, ummmm what?!
I was 2 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced.  He told me to "hold him in" if I could for 2 more weeks but more than likely I would be having this baby in 2 weeks or less!
It was kind of the same situation when Logan was born, (he was ready to go at 37 weeks) I just progress very quickly. Probably because I have a teeny tiny uterus or so I was told.  Which I guess is ok as long I can get him to December 8th, I will be full term by then.  So hold on Mason, make it to the week of December 8th, then you can come out whenever you want!

Maternity Clothes: Umm yes.  Down to only 3 pair of pants that fit me and shirts are starting to get short on me! 

Gender: BOY. Mason Bruce :) 

Movement:  OH. MY. GOSH.  Lots of movement all at once.  Like he will move constantly for about an hour then not much after that.  But when he is moving, it is like a battle going on in my stomach! Much more movement and not kicks.  We were in church on Sunday and I swear I was going into labor he was moving so much.  

Sleep: I actually have been sleeping better.  I mean up 3 times a night to pee is not bad right?! Still sleeping on my left side.  I do have to do some stretching in the morning when I wake up and my left hip hurts really bad from sleeping on it all night.   

What I miss: Being able to bend over, walk without getting winded or that I have to pee ALL. THE. TIME.  It is more of just the FEELING that I have to pee, which sometimes I feel is worse.  Also being able to pick up Logan and get on the floor and play with him more.

What I am loving: That next week is December :) that means it is SO CLOSE!

Cravings: Not much.  I get full so quick now I can't really eat that much anymore.  Although the other day I drank a Dr. Pepper, which I never do! 

Best Moments This Week:
1. Hearing that I was progressing!
2. We finally got the nursery complete!
3. Washed all the newborn and 0-3 month baby clothes!
4. Bags are packed!
5. Registered at the hospital!

Here are some pics from Mason's nursery! It is a pretty small room, but we worked with what we had and I love it!

 Bryan and I had to compromise on this one.  He loved the oar idea (thanks Pinterest!) but I just wanted to get wood letters.  He thought it would be cool if we painted the nautical alphabet (FYI...yes there is one, who knew?) on the wood and then painted his name on top.  I don't LOVE how it turned out, but we compromised so that is a good thing, right?  You can see his name better when you are closer.  We tried to find wood letters that would fit on the squares, but none were the right size to wear you could still see the nautical flag painted, so I had to paint the letters.
