37 Weeks

I was 37 weeks yesterday!  I had an appointment and baby Emma is still head down wahoo!  She is HUGE too.  Her cheeks on the US picture look like she's a squirrel saving up for winter.  She looks very chubby.  She was about 7 1/2 pounds already, so we might be looking at a 9+ pound baby!  I'm still holding out for my due date and have no desire to 'go early' despite how uncomfortable I get and how little sleep I get.  I mostly have heartburn and still feel nauseated most nights.  I can't get comfortable and get up to the bathroom about a million times.  I go between the lazy boy chair and the bed.  I have enough heartburn to last me a lifetime.  Plus I'm just so big that I'm sweaty and uncomfortable and ache and throb everywhere.  It's so fun (not!).  

Today was the BEST weather.  I got out a short-sleeve shirt for Sophie!  She is such a beautiful girl.  I am so lucky to be her mom.  She's such a cutie pie.  I love her smile.

She loves to get in our new shower.  I have a little "playlist" of songs from some of the movies she really likes and we blast that and she just sings and dances and splashes around in there.  It's quite fun for her and she asks to shower every day!  Kale is such a great hubby.  Today when he got home from work he offered to take her to the park.  I decided I could plop down on a bench so that I'd come too.  We played on the playground and she kicked the ball around.  

Sophie is such a great girl, but boy can she get 'emotional' about things quick!  Half-way through our outing she needed a minute to herself and went to sit on the bleachers.  ha.  Love that girl.  We played for a while until it started to get dark then we headed to my Mom's but she wasn't home yet.  

My mom got a cute new car for the new baby.  She was worried about car seats fitting comfortably.  It's a Kia Soul and the color is "kale green" which Sophie thinks is so funny.  My mom came over after work and we went for a ride in it together to MAVERICK for Sophie to get a treat.  I'm telling you - that's Sophie's idea of the best day ever!  My mom is so great and she just loves Sophie so much, and Sophie loves her.  I'm so lucky to have a great family!
