We went to the Dr. today and I got checked again....not fun at all! I am only one "fingertip" dilated but my cervix is softer...so that is encouraging. They did the strep test last week and we found out that it came back positive...ugh! I guess it is common to be positive. The Dr. said they will give me some antibiotics when I get to the hospital. I'm excited though....we have an ultrasound scheduled for next week to try and determine how big Sally is. Woo-hoo! This is awesome news considering I had been told I would NOT get another ultrasound. I am anxious to hear how big they think she is....

*How far along?: 37 weeks...full-term baby!! Miss Sally can come any time she wants now and she will be OK :) I cannot believe that I can have my baby any day now....this is about to get real!!
*How big is your baby?: a WATERMELON. I feel like saying "I carried a watermelon"..name the movie!

*Total weight gain?: Ugh.....around 32 pounds. The good news is that I didn't gain ANY weight this week...strange huh? On the other hand, Joe has lost 10 pounds....not exactly the right time for him to be dieting if you ask me.
*Sex: Sweet baby girl!
*Maternity clothes: I feel like I wear the same things over and over....I do. I am soooo ready to buy cute Spring clothes!!
*Stretch marks: None yet!!! Knock on wood!!

*Movement: I'm sure she is running out of room in there. I still feel her rolling around and can see her move from the outside...super weird....
*Sleep: When I finally fall asleep, I sleep pretty well. When I wake up to go to the bathroom or when Joe gets up, it is hard for me to go back to sleep. My brain starts wandering and I start thinking about the dream that I just had or what I have planned for the day, etc. For example...I woke up at 4:15 this morning and COULD NOT go back to sleep...boo!
*Best moment this week: The room is finally done!!

*Food cravings: Pizza and fruit (one bad, one good)
*Labor signs: I think I have started officially having BH contractions. They are not too crazy though. I have been having lower back pains and had some strange shooting pains through my boobs a few times. The Dr. said that is normal and that they are "getting ready".
*Belly button in or out: Still in....it may NOT come out and I am OK with that.
*What I miss: being able to shave regularly and a nice Malibu and Pineapple juice.....oh, and I miss going to kickboxing. Every time I hear a Black Eyed Peas song, I want to kick and punch.
*What I'm looking forward to: meeting my sweet baby! I can't wait to see what she looks like!! We have a date night scheduled this weekend that I am excited about. They will be hard to do right when little miss is born, so we are trying to squeeze in all of the "Sarah and Joe" time that we can.

On to the crafti-goodness. If you didn't already know, dragonflies are "our thing". I have always loved them and then when I met Joe he had one tattooed on his back....crazy huh?? We really wanted to put dragonflies in the room somehow so when I saw this on Etsy, I figured I could DIY a dragonfly one.

Here is how it turned out. We love it...and yes, Joe helped me make it this week while watching one of our shows.
I used the same dragonfly paper punch to make this shadow box.
What do you think?

Congrats on being full-term! I am soooo sick of my maternity clothes as well. And I think only gaining 32 pounds is great! I have a couple friends who gained 80 to 90 with their babies . . . can you imagine??? I have the exact same problem with getting back to sleep once I wake up at night.
LOVE the dragon fly mobile AND shadow box. Such a personal touch in Miss Sally's room!
very impressive!

Dragonfly mobile rocks! Great job! And boob labor pains?? How come no one ever mentioned that one? I'm trying to absorb as much pregnancy knowledge as I can so I'll be ready (even though it won't be for years 'n years). :)
Wow, little Sally could be here any day...so awesome! I love how you decorated the room. Super cute.
Love it!!! The nursery is amazing!! Do a tutorial on the mobile!!
