(Notice the new camera?!?! More on that later. But don't judge it's goodness based on this pic, since it is through my dirty, dusty mirror and all.)
Total Weight Gained: 23.2 Pounds.
Cravings: I’m kinda done with food. I’m pretty sure the thing to go to make room for growing Noah this week was my stomach – there’s no more room for eating. But I’m STILL being a good girl and drinking my water!! Three weeks may be the longest I’ve ever consistently drank water in my life…yes, I deserve a reward.
Contractions: Yes, yes, and YES. He DID flip, thank goodness, so his soft butt in my ribs is a LOT more comfortable than his hard, gigantic, head. But the contractions have gone from being intensely pressurey to intensely painful - several times this weekend I ALMOST called in, but didn't. I seriously don't know how he is going to stay in there for five more weeks, but he probably will.
But, me believing that he couldn't possibly may help me make it five more weeks, anyway.
Movements: He’s not really slowed down any, despite the fact that he has no room to move. There’s often feet sticking out of my side and a butt sticking out of my ribs. I kinda look like the outside of a cartoon house where there are fighting cartoon characters inside that can be seen poking out of all the sides of the house…
Sleep: I’m doing a bit better with that one for the most part…I’ve gotten my pillows arranged just so, and am managing to sleep peacefully most of the time.
Level of Impatience: I’m not QUITE to the point of praying daily for him to be born (I’ll wait until his lungs finish developing next week before I start that), but five weeks can go by as fast as it pleases.

You look great but that poor shirt is going to be streched beyond repair.
Hehe to Kitty's comment :) But, I am very impressed that you've been able to wear that shirt during your entire pregnancy!
I thought the same thing when I put it on today!! But luckily it is a maternity shirt, so it's meant to be stretched, poor shirt.
You're looking great- all baby! Lovin' the new camera! You'll love it and wear it out- looking forward to hearing more about it!
You are all baby-adorable!!!!!
So glad he flipped. And girl, if you are sleeping well at this point-woo-hoo!
Yep - looks like there's a baby in there ready to come out!!! You look great girl!
You are looking awesome! That is so great that you are able to sleep! Not many people came make such a claim in the last few weeks! That's crazy that you are having so many contractions...how are you supposed to know when it's the real thing??
you look wonderful! I only post my pictures every 5 weeks, but you totally make me not want to post the next one in two weeks....
