39 Weeks

How far along? 39 weeks 1 day (6 days until due date!)


Maternity clothes? Still fitting into a select FEW stretchy regular clothes.

Stretch marks? I have discovered that in between my regular vertical stretch marks from JD I have these weird itty bitty horizontal stretch marks. They have probably been there a while but I just didn't notice. It looks like I'm stretching a different way with this baby than with JD.

Sleep: Still missing a lot of sleep! I think last night I got up 5 or 6 times to use the loo. :(

Best moment this week: My hubby, mom, and bff came over and helped me get a few baby things ready and clean my house a bit. I feel more baby ready, basinet set up, some baby clothes sorted, hospital bag is starting to get packed.

Miss Anything? Energy.

Movement: Still moving around like a champ in there! Slowing down a little bit. It is so strange to feel the little limbs and I never know if I'm feeling an arm or a leg.


Food cravings: No cravings. But, I did have some amazing ice cream with kix in it!

Anything making you queasy or sick: If I eat a big meal. I think my stomach is too squashed to fit in too much.

Have you started to show yet: Hard to miss!

Gender: ITS A SURPRISE!!!!!

Labour Signs: I've been having a LOT of braxton hicks in the last couple of days and a bit of cramping. I visit the doctor on tuesday, so hopefully there will be some more dilating going on.

Belly Button in or out? Mostly in and a tiny bit out... still kinda flat though... very strange.

Wedding rings on or off? Off :(

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and so excited for the arrival. There are a few select people that have been driving me crazy!!

Looking forward to: My last work day!! June 3rd! Unless I have the baby sooner! So VERY excited to be at home for a little bit!

38 WEEKS!!

How far along? 38 weeks 4 days (I've gotta start posting these earlier)

Maternity clothes? Still fitting into a select FEW stretchy regular clothes.

Stretch marks? EEK! Starting to grow some more at the top of my belly! A lot more itchy than before too.

Sleep: Not too great. I go to the bathroom about 2-4 times a night. Every time I move or roll over I feel a crazy amount of pressure on my bones. It feels like my bones anyway. It's like a sharp knifeish pain. Bla! At least it doesn't last long.

Best moment this week: Putting the baby car seat in my car. :) Its been set up in Jesse's truck for a while but I put our extra base in my car and moved the car seat over. :)

Miss Anything? Being comfortable.

Movement: All the time! Its awesome to think of this little person moving around in there, but I'd rather it move around out here!

Food cravings: None.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Have you started to show yet: Are you kidding me! For sure!

Gender: ITS A SURPRISE!!!!!

Labour Signs: A few. On I think my 36 week check up I was 1cm dilated and 40% effaced. I have not been checked since. I have also been having some cramping going on the past few days. Guess they are contractions. That is a great sign right?

Belly Button in or out? Its kinda going flat... Weird!

Wedding rings on or off? Off, and actually I have had to take my pretend wedding ring off a few times at night recently because my fingers really get swollen when I'm sleeping.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy :)

Looking forward to: Sanding down and painting an elephant on a dresser my aunt gave me for the baby... Need to get started on that!! As long as Jesse lets me do it anyway, he would rather it be a plain wood dresser.

35 Weeks

35 WEEKS!

Maternity clothes? Nothing new. I'm trying to sqeeze into my regular clothes since buying anything maternity right now seems like a huge waste.

Stretch marks? Getting more toward the top of my belly

Sleep: A little tough to get comfortable. But its not too bad. Depends on the night.

 Best moment this week: Having Jesse back home from his work trip to San Deigo.

Miss Anything? Energy! I think I'm getting a little back, but I still would like more. :) Good luck with that, right?

Movement: LOTS! .

Food cravings: None

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really.

Have you started to show yet: Yes. I would hope so!

Gender: Surprise!

Labour Signs: Lots of braxton hicks. That's about it.

Belly Button in or out? In, but its kinda going flat. 

Wedding rings on or off? Off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody! So moody! Very annoying!

Looking forward to: Getting my great grandma's piano tomorrow!
