Waiting: 38 Weeks

I didn’t plan on wearing the same shirt in so many of my updates. It makes it easier to compare, I guess!

Will this be my last update? I doubt it, but only one more to go after this. That is so hard to believe…

Size of baby: The average size is almost 7 pounds. I’m guessing she’s right around that.

Total weight gain: 30 pounds as of today, but it’s been fluctuating a lot the past week. I’ve gained, lost, and gained again.

Maternity clothes: I’m officially tired of them and ready to be back in my pre-pregnancy wardrobe!

Movement: I love when it starts to feel like there’s a full-grown newborn in there. .She’s still a good mover for me.

Sleep: I probably just shouldn’t comment about this. I’m hoping for a good full night or two before I go into labor.

What I miss: I can’t even think of anything. I’ve been pregnant forever. Heehee…

Cravings: A caramel macchiato sounds so good.

Symptoms: My sciatic pain has all but disappeared! I’m so thankful. I’m having lots of mostly painless contractions, and still quite a bit of nausea.

What I am looking forward to: I’m measuring a bit small again (this happened last pregnancy too) so I’m getting an ultrasound on Thursday; I always look forward to those! I’m also looking forward to finishing up a few last things so I can feel completely ready.

Milestone(s): I hit the full term mark a week ago. The next milestone is my due date!

Best moment this week: All the blessings mentioned here, plus waking up today and being 38 weeks. It’s so close now.

You are still so stinkin’ cute! 30lbs? Pshhh, that’s nothin’! I think you’re the first one due in my tally of pregnant friends, so I’m getting all geared up and excited for the great October/November baby boom. Praying for you! Especially for a few good nights of sleep before she comes. :)
