I will be full term tomorrow! I can’t believe I have made it–I mean I can, but it has gone by pretty quickly. Everyday I am trying to get done all the things done that I put off until the last-minute (shame on me).

Please excuse my less than par photos. I didn’t feel like setting up a good shot and all that jazz.

 

Total weight gain/loss: Apparently the Dr. office scale has been broken, so all that weight I thought I had gained, I hadn’t. I stepped on it and was shocked by the 7 pounds I lost. She quickly informed it was broke, but it’s now fixed. So total I have gained 26 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Yes and I am running out of options.

Sleep: Still pretty good. My body is preparing me for the baby though. I wake up to every little noise, when I normally sleep pretty deep.

Best moment this week: Seeing my boy again, getting the nursery painted, getting his fabric in, painting his artwork. I know, I’ve waited till the last-minute for many things.

Movement: Yep, but he is running out of room.

Food cravings: The Little Italian place’s pasta. Too bad they closed :(

Gender: BOY! With a name finally!

Belly Button in or out? Out.

What I miss: Not being out of breath all the time.

What I am looking forward to: I guess now it’s just the count down until he arrives.

Labor Signs: At my last apt. he was head down, I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. She asked me how often I was having contractions and my response was “I didn’t know I was having any.” I guess she could see I was having very mild ones. It pretty much could be any day now. She also mentioned (dad you can skip this part) if we wanted to have the baby Sunday, have a lot of sex Saturday night. We don’t want to have the baby until next weekend (Seth is done with school next Friday) so I guess we will be sleeping in separate bedrooms until then.

Milestones: Full term!

Things I’ve been experiencing this week: Lots of stretching and pulling of my skin. I’m still having round ligament pain if I am on my feet too much.

Size of the baby: His estimated weight is 6 lbs 11 oz. She said if I went to my due date he would be 8 lbs 11 oz. (all of this is a rough estimate though.)
