How far along? 39 weeks 1 day, 98% complete!
Which trimester are you in? 3rd trimester. :)
How many days until your due date? 6 whole days! Omg.
How big is baby? Size of a small watermelon. And it definitely feels like I'm lugging a watermelon around, lol.
What are some of your pregnancy symptoms? Ugh. Braxton hicks have been coming more frequently! Can barely walk, due to everything just aching. Feet have been swelling super easily. Have to pee CONSTANTLY (not good when you're apartment building had plumbing issues for a few days...)
Any cravings? A coke float! Omg I've been dying for one. And pancakes with syrup. I know whatI'm making for breakfast tomorrow :)
Any food aversions? Nope.
What emotions have you experienced this week? Some stress still, but mostly happy. Trying to enjoy my last few days with Allison as an only child!
Are you wearing maternity clothes yet? Yep!
Have any stretch marks? Yep... Seem to be getting a few more, too! :(
How much weight have you gained? 29lbs.
Belly button in or out? Mostly out.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, but get some slight swelling every now and then.
Felt any movement? Yep. But it has slowed down quite a bit, but not enough to make me worry, lol.
Gender? Girl.
How has your sleep been? Uncomfortable. When I actually do get some sleep, lol.
Are you nesting? Yep! Finally!
Labor signs? Braxton hicks have picked up quite a bit! Especially when I'm walking. But they don't increase in pain or intensity, etc. I get a few every hour or so for a few hours and then they go away :(
What was your best moment last week? Picking out her coming home outfit. :)
What are you looking forward to this week? The possibility of finally meeting this baby girl! Although, I have a feeling she'll be either right on time or a few days late. We'll see!
I think my husband's hope for a May 4th baby (Star Wars... May the 4th... AKA May the force be with you. He's a nerd...) is out the window. This baby girl seems pretty comfy in there! We've had some issues with plumbing since Saturday in our apartment building, so we've been preoccupied with that. Luckily it's all been fixed, and we weren't the only ones with the issue. Glad that's done! I still need to pack my hospital bag, but I'm planning on doing that tomorrow. I've got 90% of all the baby stuff washed and ready. We've got her co-sleeper set up. Just need to install the car seat base in the car and we're good to go! The possibility that this could happen AT ANY MOMENT is so exciting and a little overwhelming at the same time! Last thing I need to do is get rid of our oversized chair (hopefully it's out of here by Thursday...) so I can make sure that Allison still has enough room to play once the living room is taken over with baby stuff! I also will try to update a bump picture soon, I haven't taken a bump picture in weeks, lol!

 | Comment from stephc2010 » Posted May. 4, 2016 4:48pm Thanks ladies! Nothing major happening today. Just a few random braxton hicks every now and then. I had some dull lower back pain earlier that comes and goes, but other than that, nothing exciting going on here. Hoping for some sort of sign that something will happen soon! I'm getting anxious! :) |
