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.
