Good morning, my friends.
I actually just finished eating a bowl of grapes and bananas. It was SO GOOD. I have a love affair with red grapes, they can’t be the least bit soft, I want them crunchy and not too sweet. Right now, they are perfect, I love them.
I’m 37 weeks pregnant. The baby will be born during my 38th week.
My body is tired. I’m crampy and pretty much grouchy 55% of the time.
I’m still attending physical therapy.
I still can’t pick Eli up.
Next week Eli turns 18 months old.
He’s giant and fun and really feisty and a super good helper. He’s extra cute and sometimes just likes to snuggle with Mama but mostly likes to play cars and do laundry.
In a few minutes, I’m leaving for a pedicure and a necessary *ahem* waxing on a region that I haven’t seen in a very, very, very long time.
The baby’s room is so close to being finished that some people would consider it finished but I do not.
I’m still scared out of my mind that something bad is going to happen to this pregnancy.
I’m not scared to have four kids.
I am scared to see how Eli reacts to this new baby taking up his attention.
But right now? I’m mostly scared about the upcoming waxing.
Happy Friday, friends.
I’m so excited for you! I can’t wait to see the new baby (and learn the name – I love baby names!)
Eli is SO stinkin’ big!! &so cute!
Happy 37 weeks!
I can’t wait to see pics of the new baby! I feel like I know you even if it is only through the bloggie world. Congrats and will be praying for you for a safe and speedy delivery. : )
On the other matter…can’t imagine having that region waxed…I would be nervous also! Have you done it before? It it really painful? I am not sure I could do it.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing all about the new baby.
Good luck! With everything
When do we get to see pictures of the nursery??
When you see your bajingo in a week, you’ll be so glad that you did this. PROMISE.
I can’t wait to meet her.
oh i can’t wait to see this little baby!! your other kiddos are just so danged cute.
you are so smart to get waxed. with my first, i couldn’t reach it to shave, so i just let it go, much to my dismay. i hated not shaving. anyhow, i was pushing, and a nurse walked into the room and said, “look at all that hair!” i burst out in tears and told her that i couldn’t reach to shave it. apparently she was talking about the baby’s hair. but i was mortified and made sure everything was at least trimmed with the other 3.
oh no! Friends don’t let friends wax the region while pregnant. I did it once and almost died. STOOOOOOOOOP!
On a lighter note, can’t wait to hear the good baby news!
Hi Beth! You’ll be fine with 4 children! My last two were 15 months apart. It was busy and crazy at times but it went by in a flash! They are now 11 & 12! Can’t wait to see your little girl!
And good luck with the waxing…is it too early for the epidural!!
mmm…. now you have me craving grapes!
Well, I know the waxing went well. Now just try to relax a bit before baby gets here, k? xo
wow, i didn’t know that baby girl will be here that SOON! can’t wait to meet her.
Hi Beth,
I LOVE your beautiful photo’s! I am going to try to enjoy the challenge. I Already placed the link on my blog, I am trying to link on your list when I figured out how to do that..
For now I wish you a easy delivery and a happy new baby!
Love, Evelyn
I’ve been eating tons of those grapes…yum. You’re almost there! I think about you and pray for you often
She will be here before you know it. I’m 39 weeks as of yesterday and going in for scheduled induction on Monday because they did an ultrasound at my last appointment and said he’s TEN POUNDS! So I’m a little nervous to say the least…my daughter was 7lbs 10oz, so a baby potentially this big is a surprise to me. I may have a c-section in my future…I don’t care either way I just want him to be ok and I can’t wait to hold him 
This is so exciting, she is so close and I cannot wait!!! Oh, and you’re so brave to do the waxing….it sounds SO SCARY!! also, I want to push Eli down into that laundry basket.
Such an exciting time for ALL of you! Congratulations!
I know what you mean about the red grapes. When I was pregant, I had a craving for red grapes, oreos and almonds. At least your red grape and banana love affair is a bit more healthy
Bethie! You’re having another daughter so soon. Did you know that? lol I’m super excited for you!

I hear you on the “crunchy red grapes” they have to be one of my top fav’s for fruit snacking
I am so excited for you and your family. I can’t wait to hear all about it and see pics of your precious baby girl. I pray you have a fast and easy delivery. Enjoy this last week of baby wiggles inside if you can before she is wiggling in your arms and smelling so sweet. Wishing you all the best.
Mmmh, red grapes. Ours in the market around here have been incredible this year!So crunchy and perfect
Eli is growing like a weed! Put a brick on that kids head!
So glad you are doing well and oh my Lord it’s almost go time! Will be thinking of you and your family during the next few weeks, hope you take it plenty easy and just enjoy the new baby smell…and can’t want to see the photos of her.
Big hugs from Germany!
I love this post…and that picture…and this pregnancy for you!
I am SO excited to “meet” this new baby girl! Hope you all are covered in peace and calm these last few days before baby girl makes her appearance. And that your house is filled with joy and bliss as you all transition to a family of 6!
