38 Weeks




Photo Thoughts: Cute picture but sucky quality due to the fact my hubby felt the need to take the picture with his new iPad mini.  And love the sign so so cute

How Far Along: 38 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 29 lbs

Size Of Baby: 18.9 to 20.9, about the size of a pumpkin

Cravings: I am still not having anything too extreeme, I just eat a lot of the same thing

Maternity Clothes: Nothing new and exciting, just wearing the same old things, although because I am doing maternity pictures next week (yeah yeah I know I am waiting until the last minute to do them) and when looking at other ones I saw a bunch have women in their pre pregnancy jeans with the top unbuttoned so I thought, lets see if I can do that.  So i tried my favorite pair and voila, they still fit!!  No I can't button them but they look nice and I don't even have a muffin top unless I slouch so I feel like that was a good acomplishment

Stretch Marks: No new ones still and I am praying that the ones I have will be it.

What I Love: Feeling him. It is something that I am going to miss so I am trying to cherish the time that I have him always with me

What I'm Looking Forward To The Most: Having my list done.  With only working one job and with the help of my wonderful hubby I have been crossing things off my list and I just can't wait until everything is done and I know I am ready for him to come.

Sleep:  It comes and goes. Some nights I sleep great, some nights it feels like I am just not sleeping as deeply as I normally do but it isn't horrible.

Belly Button In Or Out: Out and if I am not wearing my normal 3 layers over it, it pokes out through my shirt now.

Happy Or Moody Most Of The Time: This week was happy. I have pretty much relaxed, and let myself be lazy so it has been good.

Symptoms: Back pain, stomach still hurts, and I have to pee (they tend to alternate which is fun) lots but those are about it (am I the only one wondering why I have less symptoms at the end of this then I have throught the rest of it?  It seems odd to me...)

Movement: He loves moving for me and I have got to show a couple people how he likes to stick his leg or something out in my side but in general he doesn't move for other people very much.  I thinkhe is getting too big for my belly though.

The Belly: It is still there, but I don't think it is growing any larger but some people have said it looks bigger so maybe I am wrong, but I don't know

Doctor Visit: So went and saw the doctor today and he said I am a little more effaced but not much and I am dialted to a two still.  He is thinking I should be right around my due date if not a few days late which is fine by me but hubby wants it to happen sooner (I think it is easier for him to say that considering he doesn't have to go through any of the painful stuff).  Oh and he has dropped, I wasn't sure so I asked and apparently he has.

Milestones: He is clinically mature now and is ready to be born at any time.  His body systems are developed.
