38 weeks and still preggo


How far along? 38 weeks. I really thought I'd be writing to tell you all baby C was here by now.

Size of baby: About 8.8 lbs. if I go off the ultrasound weight last week and what he should have gained in a week. Oh my!

What's baby up to? Growing and apparently too comfortable in there.

Total weight gain: +38 lbs - I have NO idea what happened, but from Friday to Monday morning, I put on FIVE pounds and not a single bit of it has come off this week. Yikes.

Pregnancy symptoms:  Nothing new or too bad. Sleeping has become the biggest challenge. Apparently the swelling has gotten worse in my hands and they go numb from time to time. Awesome.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Eh, I had a good night the other night and slept FOUR full hours in a row :)

Best moment this past week: I completed a big work project on Wednesday and it relieved a lot of stress. The project wasn't that stressful, but making sure I was there to complete it was. So I made it to Wednesday and everything was a success. I told Baby C it was ok to come now, but I guess he's already rebelling and doing what he wants.

Miss Anything? Being able to stand up without pain.

Movement: Still moving in there.

Food Cravings: Eh, I've kind of lost my appetite this past week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The freaking FIVE pound weight gain.

Labor sigs: Still have had some Braxton Hicks contractions, but that's about it. I think he's dropped a bit, but not a lot.

Dr appointment yesterday went well, I'm 2-3 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Doctor said she thought she just might be seeing me in labor and delivery this weekend. I sure hope she's right. But if not, it's back to the office on Wednesday for another ultrasound and then a talk about inducing.

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: Definitely off.

Happy or Moody: Moody and aggravated.

Weekly Wisdom: Just keep telling yourself it HAS to come to an end soon enough. He can't live in there forever. Right?

Looking forward to: Delivery day.
