37 Weeks: The Official Home Stretch

We made it! No worries about a pre-term baby boy here! It is unreal to say we are only 3 weeks or less away from meeting him & our lives being changed forever. We could not be more excited! I would like to say that I'll post again before he's born but we'll let him decide that! :)

So what's new?

Symptoms: He's "dropped" so pressure & all those fun pre-labor feelings
Cravings: Anything sweet & Dr. Pepper
Sleep: Not any better. Now up to 7 pillows! Yes, David is still in bed with me :)



                                     34 weeks!                                                     36 weeks!

 

 

On August 25th, we had a wonderful shower from our Journey family! It was all sports themed topped off with a Carolina jersey cake with Mosteller on the back. We were blessed with many baby essentials including our car seat. Another bonus was getting Little David's bedding that matches his nursery!

Ever since the shower, we have been finalizing the nursery. My plan is to get the final touches this week so I can show it off before he comes! I really want to show the whole process from start to finish so I need to make finishing it my goal this week!

At the beginning of September, we had our maternity pictures done by the AMAZING Sydney Brant! It was so much fun to show off the belly & have some great pictures taken of David and me. All the pics are on mine and David's Facebook pages but here are a few of our favorites!

 

 

Lately, I have been getting asked a lot of the same questions. So here are the answers to some FAQ for the Mostellers. Of course, I don't mind answering these any time!

What are y'all going to call him?
Most likely it will be David. That's what we call him now. When we need to, we'll say Lil David. The only initials I approve of is "LD" but I even wence a little at that one. Just no "DJ" please! We aren't in the 1990s! It's normal on David's side of the family to have multiple people with the same name.

When are you stopping work?
I plan to work until Little David gives me the signal he's on his way! I don't want to waste a single day sitting at home without him!

How long will you be out of work?
Hopefully, I will be out until mid December. That's about 8 weeks. David will take off about a week when LD is born so that will be wonderful family time together! :)

My long term sub has been selected and I "think" my kiddos are as ready as they can be for me to just not show up one day! Honestly...I'm not worried about them at all. They will have a great teacher & I can't wait to spend time with my sweet husband and new baby boy!

Where are you delivering?
St. Francis in West Ashley


I just have to say that this journey being pregnant has been so rewarding. I have been very lucky to have such a healthy pregnancy and an ejoyable one! David and I have enjoyed every minute preparing for his arrival. Little David is still moving around just as much as he always has so that tells us we might have an active little boy on our hands. We are so ready and are so thankful for God blessing us with this experience!

Well, I plan for my next post to be all about his nursery. Whether it's before he comes or not...well God only knows! Prayers are always appreciated for a healthy and uncomplicated delievery.

Until next time...God Bless!
We love y'all!
