38 weeks

Hi! I feel like my weeks are getting more boring every blog post.... mostly because I don't feel like doing anything anymore! Which is probably good, I need to take advantage of this time to rest and relax while I can.

I had my weekly doctor's appointment on Thursday. Matt was able to come along, which was nice, because his work is super inflexible and he's not been able to come along to many of them. Everything is still the same, my cervix is not effaced or dilated and is still posterior, meaning not "ripened". The doctor said anything could happen though, so just try to be patient but also be prepared.

Since everything is prepared in the nursery and with all of his stuff, I took advantage of free time this weekend to make some freezer meals. I got the idea from Pinterest to make some meals ahead of time and freeze them, since cooking will be the last thing on my mind when baby comes and we won't want take out every night.

My mom is AMAZING and actually made us a few things already, including my favorite chili of hers, and a yummy ground meat casserole that she makes. I made a few things too....

Here are the recipes:

Slow cooker pulled pork

Slow cooker pizza bake

Raspberry chocolate chip muffins

I was at the grocery store and thought I should grab some Summer Shandy before it's out of season, then noticed a few other seasonal beers and thought "hmm, better stock up now so I have it on hand for when I can start drinking again..." :)

Baby boy weighs about 6.5-7 lbs right now and his organs have matured and are ready for outside the womb. He still continues to move like crazy and is making me more uncomfortable every day. It's amazing how difficult it is to get off the couch and out of bed! All things considered I don't feel all that bad. Just impatient and anxious!
