38 weeks
39 weeks
Size of baby: a watermelon!
Movement: Yes, lots. Poor dude is running out of room.
Symptoms: Heartburn and Braxton Hicks.
Total weight gain: 35 lbs.
Sleep: Sleep. Bah, what's sleep? Falling asleep is uncomfortable because of heartburn and the baby doesn't get settled right away. Then I wake up at least once for more Tums and to pee or because my hips ache.
Food aversions: Nothing.
Cravings: Everything lol. Mostly chocolate bars (pre-pregnancy I hated chocolate), fast food, cold cut sandwiches...
Emotions: Anxious. I'm getting so over being pregnant. I want to meet my little dude, and he's getting so big so I'm uncomfortable. But at the same time I'm scared of childbirth, I'm not going to lie...so I feel kind of stuck in this spot of wanting it to be over so bad, and being scared of the very end. I just want him here and for us both to be healthy and then I think I will be the happiest person imaginable.
What do you miss: Sushi. Oh boy, so soon I'll be able to have it. I can't believe it!!
Maternity clothes: Yes, but even THEY aren't fitting me anymore.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Boy or girl: Boy.
Next appt: Thursday.
Best moment(s) this past week: Finishing work until December 2014! It was bittersweet to leave. I've never been away from work or school for as long as I'm going to be away. I had to say goodbye to a coworker because she will be retired when I come back and that was hard...but since I've been gone (2 days) I've been loving it...just sitting around in my pyjamas, eating, waiting...
What are you looking forward to this week: My midwife appointment on Thursday. Even though she doesn't check my progress, at least this will get me out of the house. :)
