38 weeks and 5 days
How far along? 38
weeks and 5 days
Total weight gain: 23 lbs
Maternity clothes? Same stuff
Stretch marks? Hopefully I can make it without!
Sleep: Most
nights I’m still waking up for an hour or two, but sometimes I am surprised by
a restful night!
Best moment this week: 38 week appointment. They did another growth ultrasound (I’m
measuring at 33 instead of 38) and we saw that the baby looks great! He’s actually measuring on the large side
now. Large belly and head, projected to
weigh in the high 7’s. We will see how
accurate that is, my guess is 6 lbs 10 oz!
Miss Anything? Being comfortable.
Movement: Lots. He jerks my whole belly around
Food cravings: same
Gender prediction: Predictions are done-it’s a boy!
Anything making you queasy or sick:
Nope
Labor Signs: I had some uncomfortable contractions this
weekend, and had to start timing them.
Luckily, they subsided after about an hour and were just sporadic the
rest of the day. He has definitely
dropped more! I remember feeling like
this a few days before Niko came! My longtime prediction of September 18th is looking pretty good!
Symptoms: Hips, heartburn, pressure and
contractions!
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but tired too.
Looking forward to: Meeting my baby!!!
