I'm 38 weeks!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 38 Weeks
Size of baby: 19 to 22 inches from crown to toes… and she weighs ~7 pounds (about the size of a watermelon).
Total Weight Gain/Loss: According to my appointment on Wednesday, I’ve gained ~2 pounds (I’d say I’m pretty stable…somewhere plus or minus 2 lbs…) so ~9 lbs according to the doctor’s scale. According to my scale, I’m at ~14 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Yes, but I can fit in some of my regular shirts still. I vary in between maternity and regular shirts.
Gender: It’s a precious baby girl!
Movement: Every day. She is getting stronger in her kicks and they are more often. The hiccups down low are pretty amusing. The long stretches that make my entire abdomen hurt…not so amusing.
Sleep: I’m waking up atleast three- four times a night. I really miss deep sleep.
What I miss: Energy and Sweets…I’m having cravings for anything sweet right now…not a nice joke to play on someone with GD…
Cravings: Cake and Sweets
Symptoms: Jabs and flips. Feeling panicked that this baby will be here soon. Nesting like crazy according to the husband
Best Moment this past week: This past weekend, my parents came up and helped us fix up Bella’s room so it looks good. She can arrive now whenever she wants. It was really great to spend time with them. The other GREAT moment came yesterday at my doctor’s appointment where he gave me a game plan. There are 3 options moving forward including the one where she comes when she wants. We’ll see what happens, but glad to know we have path forwards (yes, I realize I’m a nerd….)…
