How Far Along?: 40 weeks! Happy due date! Can't wait to meet him!
Weight Gain: At this point I've gained about 32 or so pounds which feels like a lot.
Gender?: BOY! I can't wait to meet him!
How Big is Baby?: He's the size of a pumpkin and roughly 20 in long and 7.3 lbs. He's probably able to flex his limbs now. His brain is still rapidly developing—getting smarter by the week! His nails may extend beyond the fingertips now too.
Symptoms: Well I've had a cold for the last week which has been no fun at all. The heartburn is still there, but actually has let up in the last couple of days. My SI and sciatic pain is still there, although not AS horrible as before. I'm definitely having on and off contractions which have been exhausting. Definitely more tired and out of breath lately.
Any Food Cravings?: Not really, but I do notice I reach for protein more lately.
Sleep: It's been really hard to sleep. Mama is TIRED.
Stretch Marks?: No new ones just my old ones showing up.
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. I'm ready to start wearing clothes that fit!
Wedding Ring On or Off?: On!
What Do You Miss the Most?: Being comfortable and being able to sleep.
What Are You Most Excited For This Next Week?: Hopefully meeting this little guy!
Labor Signs?: Yes! I think I've been in prodromal labor the last 3ish weeks or so because I'll have contractions consistently all night and then they fizzle out during the day. I also lost my mucus plug (or most of it). I'm 2cm dilated at this point so only 8 to go!
Favorite Memory From Last Week?: Spending the long weekend with my little family before we add another!
