What I miss: Not a thing! 

Sleep: Still sleeping great! I have to get up a couple of times to use the bathroom, but I typically go right back to sleep.

Symptoms: Hunger, heartburn, and sometimes I will get this shooting pain at the top of my legs! Whew! It only lasts a for a few seconds, but it will bring me to my knees!

Best Moment this week: Hearing Carson's heartbeat at my appointment today (145 bpm) & meeting Carson's friend, Olivia Grace Knobloch for the first time this morning! She is a cutie pie!

What I am looking forward to: Reaching full-term status tomorrow!! 37 weeks! So exciting! :o)
