Exactly two weeks to go until my due date!!! It would be ‘perfectly okay’ if the Little Miss decided to make an appearance this week, but to be quite honest I am ‘perfectly okay’ if she hung out a little while longer. I know most mommies are so eager to get their babies out but I am too complacent and patient for my own good. I’m all about smooth sailing and if this ships needs to sail even a little after two weeks, well I’m all aboard! (That was really lame.)
HOW FAR ALONG// 38 weeks! I definitely look the part this week. My belly is big! (to me anyway) I still get funny reactions when I say I only have two weeks left though.
BABY SIZE// A freaking PUMPKIN! Last week the Doc measured her to be 6 pounds and 12 ounces. (I thought this = 7lbs. Nope, apparently there are 16oz in 1lb DOPE!) She feels quite large in there and has still yet to drop.
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN// My weight has been fluctuating. I’ve gained a few small amounts and also lost quite a bit to where it concerned my doctor. He gave me an ultrasound last week to check to see if I had lost any amniotic fluid and all looked to be perfect thank goodness! She’s measuring right on track and I’ve gained about 33 pounds so far.
MATERNITY CLOTHES// I am officially done with work so I don’t have to find anything presentable to wear anymore! I rock a sports bra, wife beater tank, and underwear/jam bottoms around the house. If I leave the house I’ll throw on a maxi skirt.
STRETCH MARKS// None visible. I haven’t checked under my belly yet… I really don’t want to either.
SLEEP// Lets just say I can fall asleep but that doesn’t mean I am not waking up every 20 minutes to turn. My legs and hips go limp numb, one sudden stretch and I get attacked by charlie horses, and I now see the fear in sleeping on your back - it just doesn’t feel right. My belly is heavy and that makes turning from one side to the other VERY difficult too.
BEST MOMENTS THIS WEEK// Max and I are finally all moved into our HOME! More on this later :)
MISS ANYTHING// I am starting to miss summer after realizing its just about over!
MOVEMENT// Hello hiccups! Those pops of love give me the best feeling ever. It’s almost like a massage… Her feet and legs constantly kick my right side. She definitely takes the air out of my lungs sometimes too but I can’t help but enjoy seeing and feeling her presence.
CRAVINGS// Ice! Still love crunching on that ice. I used to be an ice chewer, it was definitely an obsession and I see myself falling into that obsession again. It’s like an addiction. Gotta have my ice. I’m hoping once the weather cools I’ll also cool it with the ice because my teeth are going to start falling out. Also, I’m annoying with all of that crunching.
SYMPTOMS// I’m still trying to figure out what contractions feel like exactly. I’ve felt minor cramping, but it really just feels like her movements. I haven’t been in any sort of pain but my back hurts when I sit on any type of couch. I feel like I’m complaining to my doctor here… No signs of labor though!
BELLY BUTTON IN OR OUT// It’s not going to be popping out anytime soon which is okay with me!
HAPPY OR MOODY// Happy and stress free! I am so relieved to be in our home. It sucks realizing how much money goes into getting everything you need in your home ready but I am happy to be here. I wish Maximus could be here with me more often as our alone time will soon be VERY limited.
LOOKING FORWARD TO// These next few weeks of getting ready for our darlin’. We’re ready - but it will be nice to soak in this extra time to get little things done and the little things sure do add up. I find myself going to the store to grab this and that just incase I may not be able to once she is here. The thought of going out alone with our daughter scares me! ALSO - PSL!?!?! Yes. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I hear rumors they are arriving this week…
