these days with baby Z3.
it's my due date! and baby is still comfy and cozy inside! turns out, this baby is a very good listener, because that's all i've been saying to them this pregnancy: "stay in as long as you want!".i'm basically just playing the waiting game at this point, both my kids have been a few days past their due dates (3 days for Amelia, 6 days for William) so i'm used to being here at the due date and having a few more days to go. i do feel a little more anxious to meet this baby though. i don't know if it's because i have a better idea of what adding a sibling to the family is like, or because i'm just feeling more settled and super ready now.we can't wait to meet this sweet baby Z3 whenever he or she decides to come! thanks for hanging in there and being so supportive throughout this third pregnancy, i'm excited to introduce our newest family member to you all soon!

how far along: 40 weeks, today is the due date!i’m feeling: ready to have this baby! also i'm a little in shock that i made it to the due date. i had seriously convinced myself that i was going to have the baby before we moved into the house, i just knew it was coming early. and yet here we are!total weight gain: 29 pounds as of today! i think that's right smack in the middle of where i was with the other two. i haven't been moving as much the past couple weeks even with moving homes so my gain has bumped up and i'm just fine with it.baby Z3’s size: baby is the size of a small pumpkin, about 7.5 pounds and 21 inches long. i’m about to push a pumpkin out of my hoohah people. for a third time.this week: just getting all the nesting in that i possibly can in the form of unpacking and organizing the new house. and waiting on this baby because we can hardly wait to meet them.maternity clothes: i only wear the blanqi leggings and support tank and some form of sweater or button-down over it these days. everyone knows that i've given up.sleep: is it weird that by the third go-around, i know that i'll actually be more rested once this baby is born? but it's true!best moment this week: we finally moved into our NEW HOUSE! we have been waiting and waiting to get all the pre-move in projects done and Mister Man has been working nonstop (but literally, before we moved he went to the house every night after the kids were in bed to clean and paint and set up closets, he is the best thing ever invented.). and finally we're in. it feels like a dream. there is still a lot of work to do in the next few months in terms of organizing and setting up house, but it'll be like postpartum nesting for me!movement: oh yes, i sure do feel this baby moving. and i'm thankful for every second.food cravings: nope. i did go to dairy queen twice this week for blizzards though. just trying to keep this baby fed.food aversions: no food fits in my belly right now, i can't decide if that's an aversion or not.belly button in or out: popped out like a turkey timer.looking forward to: giving birth, because i'm a weirdo. finding out if baby Z3 is a boy or a girl, and snuggling them to pieces.
