Pregnancy Update - 38 Weeks
How far along - 38 weeks
Maternity clothes - As of this morning NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT, not regular clothes, not maternity clothes NOTHING
Weight gain - Not weighing myself anymore. Somewhere between 35 and 40 lbs.
Stretch marks - Some on my hips and thighs....just mean that I made it this far and then they started popping up
Belly button - Definitely out
Sleep - Still my favorite part of the day. It is nearly impossible to get up once I'm laying down though, which makes my 4857092873598327 trips to the bathroom every night super fun.
Best moment this week - Doctor appointment last week. She said I was already 1 cm dialated and 70% effaced. Baby is head down and engaged. Yay for progress!!
Foods I'm loving - Candy, some chocolate, and all carbs
Foods I'm hating - Chicken is still iffy. I can't eat a lot at one sitting....stretches my stomach out way too much
Movement - Still consistent but much less than before. New Baby has definitely run out of room.
Symptoms - Still nauseous {ARGH!!!}, back pain, hip pain, stuffy nose, swelling, exhaustion, some cramping, pelvic pain that makes it almost impossible for me to walk some days, out of breath from doing ANYTHING
Gender - Make sure to get your poll votes in! Only two weeks left! {though hopefully less!}
What I'm looking forward to - Labor pains....come on contractions!!
What I miss - Everything about not being pregnant
Emotions - Very impatient....

you are SO CLOSE!!!!! Cannot wait! And I still think it's a boy.. lol.. PS this is Christine AKA GVK.. not sure why this is posting as "anonymous", stupid Blogger!
ReplyDeleteI hope that this week brings on more progress and good news for you! Just think that it isn't to long until he/she ;) gets here!! I'm so excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome that you are making progress! My doc says that effacing is actually more important because once your cervix shortens, it is easier for it to dilate. Almost there!
ReplyDeleteyou are so close mama!!! i feel bad for you that you're still sick :( maybe this means new baby will be really an easy baby.. ;)
ReplyDeleteHe (because I think its a boy) will be here soon!
ReplyDeleteYou are so close. The baby could be here any day now. I cannot wait to see pictures. You are in my thoughts. xoxo
