How far along? 39 weeks... baby is due in 6 DAYS (Tues, Aug. 27)
Total weight gain: up 32 lbs... doctor's appointment Friday...Maternity clothes? Yep, and they're real tight but I'm not about to buy new ones just for my last (hopefully) week of pregnancy!
Stretch marks? Still none!
Sleep: Still not sleeping well at night cuz I'm waking up every two hours or so to use the bathroom. I've been able to take some good naps though, so I'm thankful for that!
Best moment this week: Last week, I had been feeling extremely awful, so I decided I needed to start maternity leave a week early, which has proven to be a very good decision. I feel like my mood is 10x better, and since I'm not sitting all day, I'm not in so much pain. I'm able to try and sleep when I want, see some friends, go for long walks, and I just feel a lot better. I still want baby to come out, but I'm not feeling so anxious about it. Another great thing about this week is that my husband surprised me with a brand new camera! I wanted a point-and-shoot with HD video capabilities, and he bought me a super nice one out of the blue! I swear it takes better pictures than my DSLR (or maybe I was just always to lazy to figure out how to use the DSLR...).
Miss Anything? I miss shopping for normal clothes, lol. I bought one of my favorite "staple" shirts today from Target because it was on sale for $5, and I didn't want to miss the sale. It's not gonna fit for a little while, but hopefully some day it will!Movement: She is still moving like a mad woman. She has definitely dropped, because there is a ton of pressure on my bladder at all times.
Food cravings: Fruits and veggies, actually!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I get a little queasy if I don't eat every couple hours, but no sickness.
Gender: Girl- can't wait to dress her up in all the lil cutie clothes I have for her!
Labor Signs: I thought my water broke two weeks ago, so we went to the hospital, only to find out that it hadn't... um, yeah, pretty gross. Needless to say, we were sent home and I was upset. I'm having Braxton Hicks, but nothing major. At the doctor's last Friday, I was 1-2 cm dilated, 50% effaced and had my membranes stripped (sounds disgusting), which did nothing. We'll see what she says this week!
Symptoms: I'm just uncomfortable, which is to be expected. Belly Button in or out? Still flat
Wedding rings on or off? Still off, I feel naked w/o them!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Soo much happier than I was feeling, but still moody... I get emotional real fast.
Looking forward to: Holding my baby girl for the first time!!!!!!!!
I don't want to gross anyone out, I just wanted a few pictures to remember how the belly really looked...
I love how pasty white my stomach is compared to the rest of me. Obviously, I have not been wearing a two piece this summer!
