How far along? 38 Weeks
Gender: Boy
Total weight gain/loss: 43 lbs and holding…
Maternity clothes? YES.
Stretch marks? Guys. I found one. It’s small but it’s there. And, I kinda get it. I mean, how in the hell is my skin stretching the way it is?! I can’t even imagine getting bigger!
Sleep: Sleep is going okay. I am up a lot at night and sometimes I am sooooo awake that I literally feel like I could run a marathon (ha!) or something. I mostly want to clean when I am awake…
Best moment this week: It was my first week of maternity leave and it was nice. My days of the week are all confused and especially with Canada Day on a Wednesday, I was really thrown off my A-game. I kinda feel like every day is a Sunday and I am just waiting for Monday to roll around. My bestie Ali came for a little visit this week and we hung out, had good chats, got pedis, laughed…it was the best.
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Now that the end is hella-near, I am so anxious to get into some other clothing. So, I’d say, I miss my cute summer clothes but I know that I’ll be able to wear a few pieces soon!
Movement: This little dude is simply the best. He makes some very incredible movements that leave me breathless sometimes. Also, he has a tendency to leave his little foot pressed against my belly, which I find cute. Can’t believe I will be kissing his little tootsies so soon!
Food cravings: No food cravings really, mostly just food. My appetite is not as big as it once was; probably because there is literally no more room. I am still loving Popsicles and I’m super into virgin mimosas (perrier & oj for the win!).
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes and everyone I walk around is terrified I am going to give birth any second.
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks and a bit crampy. The craziest thing is, I am actually looking for signs to answer YES to this question! I had a doctor’s appointment this week and had a good ol’ check to see how everything is looking…basically getting there but not entirely ready yet. Good lord, it is so soon.
Belly Button in or out? Out. I almost forget what it used to look like.
Wedding rings on or off? Rings are off. Fingers are pudgy.
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to: Meeting Baby B!!
We have pretty much everything set for little dude’s arrival and now all we’re waiting for is a baby! Hubs went to a bachelor party this weekend (he’s only gone for one night!) and I’ve been relaxing, cleaning, eating, and watching Netflix (um, the Backstreet Boys Documentary; it was so good!). Obviously being this pregnant, I was a little skeptical about hubs going out of town for a night but I had my back-up handled plus I felt confident this baby was not going to come while his daddy was away AND I really wanted hubs to have a great night with his buddies; life is definitely going to change for the both of us really really soon.
Doctor even told me that if this nugget doesn’t arrive on his own, I’ll be induced July 20th soooooo that’s super soon and the baby countdown is officially on! I really hope he decides to come sooner than the 20th!
Have a wonderful weekend!
XO
