How Far Along?: 38 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: +25.5lbs
Maternity clothes: Still lots of maxi skirts. The bands on my maternity pants put too much pressure on my stomach.
Stretch Marks: Nope. The doctor actually told me I have great skin. What a relief!
Sleep: Not too bad. Initially I am very uncomfortable but I seem to settle in after an hour or so.
Best Moment This Week: Another doctor agreed this week that she would be "shocked" if I actually made it to my due date. I'm already 1/3 of the way there in terms of being dilated. Woo hoo! She said my labor will be easy. I'll believe that when I see it.
Miss Anything: Sipping an adult beverage in the sun maybe.
Movement: She is still surprisingly very active. The doctor said babies tend to slow down late in the 3rd trimester due to a lack of amniotic fluid. More movement is just a sign of increased fluid which she also stressed was a very good thing. Let's hope so.
Food Cravings: Fruit. Anything fresh really.
Anything making you queasy or sick: My protein bars in the morning have made me a little queasy lately. They're starting to taste like chalk :(
Gender: Girl!
Labor Signs: Increased pressure and more frequent BH contractions.
Belly Button: I can see it through my shirts now so I guess that's out?
Wedding Rings on or off: On with some minor swelling when I walk a lot.
Happy or Moody: Moody. I'm just anxious to meet her but she seems to be on her own schedule :)
Looking forward to: D Day!
