38 Weeks

How far along?   38 weeks

Total weight gain:   +30

Maternity clothes?   Same as always. I stay in my yoga capris most of the days, nice and comfy. As you can see, I am popping out of my normal clothes pretty well.

Stretch marks?   Nope.

Sleep:  Is probably similar to what it will be like when the babe arrives. Although I have been lucky these last few nights, I’ve been so exhausted that I sleep pretty good except for waking up due to uncomfortable-ness.

Best moment this week:   Finding out that we didn’t have to be induced at 37 weeks. He can come out whenever he wants now, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Miss Anything?    Oh yes, lots of things. I miss being able to do things in general. I thought it was funny the other day Gabe and I were talking about how most people say things like, “We need to do (such and such) before the baby gets here because we won’t be able to afterwards.” While we are the opposite and say things like, “I can’t wait until the baby gets here because then we can do (such and such.)” Bed rest hasn’t allowed us to do hardly anything, so we are even more excited for him to arrive!

Movement:   Yep, although I can tell that it must be getting very cramped in there. Lots of bumping and pushing movements. I can’t believe a whole baby fits in there!

Food cravings:   Ice cream and yogurt have sounded very good lately. I am very much looking forward to eating frozen yogurt, I have realized that I like it more than I thought I did.   

Anything making you queasy or sick:   Oh not really anything in particular.    

Gender:   Boy!

Labor Signs:   Mmmm hmmmm. I’ll save your ears by not telling you everything, but there have been a lot more signs that labor is getting closer. I have been able to experience real contractions starting this last week… fun stuff!

Symptoms:   I’d say labor signs are a big symptom. Haha this question is getting harder and harder to answer.

Belly Button in or out?   Half and half. I’m both surprised and glad that my belly button hasn’t fully popped.

Wedding rings on or off?   Still off. I am sure that it would still fit just fine, but just to be on the safe side. I’d rather be careful than have to get it sawed off or something horrific.

Mood:   So sleepy and super anxious for the big day. It’s crazy to have no idea when it’s going to happen. I hope it comes soon.

Looking forward to:   Meeting our sweet baby for the first time. Finally seeing what he looks like. Playing with his little feet that have been grazing my belly. We have so much to look forward to!
