How Far Along?: 38 weeks! I can't believe there's only 2 weeks until my due date! He could be here any day!
Weight Gain: At this point I've gained about 30 lbs so far. It felt like it all came on at one time.
Gender?: BOY! I can't wait to meet him and see what he looks like!
How Big is Baby?: He's the size of a winter melon and roughly 19.6 in long and 6.8 lbs. He probably has some hair already, based on my 35 week ultrasound we did see some. He's slowly shedding that white goo on the skin (vernix caseosa) but he may have some of it at birth still. His head is about the same circumference as his abdomen, and he's just packing on the pounds at this point.
Symptoms: I've been having a lot of heartburn lately and just overall achy/sore. I've also been using the bathroom a lot lately (TMI). I'm feeling both nesting and exhaustion at the same time.
Any Food Cravings?: Nothing really specific. I've loved my coffee/chai drinks lately and frozen pineapple for some reason.
Sleep: I've been sleeping ok, but it takes me a while sometimes to fall asleep and lately I've been getting up more.
Stretch Marks?: No new ones just my old ones.
Maternity Clothes?: Yes and no. I have a few basics like my leggings that I wear all the time but also mixing in my regular clothes too.
Wedding Ring On or Off?: On!
What Do You Miss the Most?: Not having heartburn or SI pain!
What Are You Most Excited For This Next Week?: Getting my nails done! Sounds silly, but I always like to have my nails done going into labor.
Labor Signs?: Not really, just been crampy with some low back pain and pressure.
Favorite Memory From Last Week?: Spending mother's day relaxing. It was rainy and thunder storming but we got lunch and I was able to take a nap which was great!
