38 Weeks

October 4, 2012

Pregnancy Stats:

How Far Along: 38 weeks

Size of baby: She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long, like a leek.
(really...they are comparing my baby to a leek now?!??)
 

Total Weight Gain: 19 pounds so far...have another weigh in tomorrow...oh boy!
 

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She doesn't stop, she especially moves with Andrew plays the guitar.  I have diagnosed her with in-utero ADHD ;)
 

Sleep:  What is the definition of sleep exactly?
 

What I miss: A good nights sleep, being able to move without pain, running/exercising. 

Cravings: Cold things, sweet things, and chocolate, nothing new.

 

Symptoms: Pain/pressure/fatigue/heartburn/braxton hicks contractions...However, nothing major to complain about still. I've been blessed this pregnancy. Thank you God!

 

Maternity Clothes: Yep! Ive also stolen some of my brothers shirts and apparently my dads hoody. Whatever works, right? ;) I am still so greatful that I am able to wear scrubs to work! And so thankful my husband really doesn't care what I wear or look like for that matter.
 

Best Moment this week: My dad made a bookcase for the nurse which means we are getting the nursery finished!  Finally!!!

Ready to meet this baby!!!

Waiting

I can't believe I have carried this baby to term.  It just seems so crazy to me.  We have wanted to start a family for so so long and now, it's only a matter of weeks at the most, until we meet our sweet baby that we have longed for, for what seemed like forever.  So as the past 37 weeks have flown by, it feels as if the next few days/maybe weeks, are dragging by in eager anticipation of meeting this little girl.  I found this poem somewhere, and it's just the perfect reminder that this amazing blessing from God will come when the timing is perfect.

 

Waiting

 

Dear Baby, here beneath my heart,

I thought that you might come today;

The timing seemed just right.

But the stars are out

And the moon is high

And sheepishly I wonder why

I try to arrange the plans

Of God.

For now I know

You will not come

Until the One who holds eternity

Rustles your soft cocoon

And whispers in tones that I will not hear,

“It’s time, precious gift.”

“Now it’s time.”

and the size of a watermelon...yikes!

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds so far...weigh in at the dr in the am though.

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She moves so much, I thought the baby's movement was supposed to slow down a little, but hers...not so much.  She's a fiesty little thing already!  She is still hanging out under my right rib cage....ouch!  Hoping she comes soon, I am ready to meet this little monkey and my ribs are ready to have their space back ;)

Sleep:  I can't remember what it was like to sleep well...oh well!  I go to the bathroom 3-4 times per night and roll back and forth 10 times a night.  I am getting prepared for having a baby wake me up at all hours of the night, but I can't wait till its actually my baby waking me up!

What I miss: A good nights sleep, being able to move without pain, running/exercising. 

Cravings: Cold things and chocolate, nothing new.

Symptoms: Pain/pressure/fatigue/braxton hicks contractions...However, nothing major to complain about still. I've been blessed this pregnancy.  Thank you God!

Size of baby: 5 lbs 12 ounces, size of a crenshaw melon, whatever the heck that is,
and around 18.5 inches long

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds so far...

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She moves a lot still and her movements have become rather painful at times, probably because she is getting bigger and bigger, and running out of room.  Her eviction notice is coming soon!  She still likes to camp out on my right side under my liver and rib cage and just hang out.  She's claimed this space since day 1...not going to be a type A personality at all ;)

Sleep: I give up with sleeping well. I always get up a couple of times, to go to the bathroom or roll over to my other side, which takes a lot of effort, believe it or not. I have a feeling my days of sleeping are loooooong gone, and that is fine with me.

What I miss: A good nights sleep, being able to move without pain, running/exercising. I read that my uterus is up to one thousand times larger than before I got pregnant...which makes me feel huge and slow...yep that pretty much sums it up!

Cravings: Cold things and chocolate, nothing new.

Symptoms:  Pain...And that's all I am going to say about that.  Braxton Hicks.  However, nothing major to complain about still. Praise God for that!

Maternity Clothes: Yep or shirts a size too big for me when I am not growing a watermelon, but mostly I just wear my husbands t-shirts and a pair of running shorts. And Thank God for being able to wear scrubs to work!  So thankful my husband really doesn't care what I wear or look like for that matter.

Best Moment this week: Getting a good report at the doctor!  We hung pictures up in the nursery finally.  It's coming along!  So ready to get this room finished.  Have to get the bookcase my dad made me next week and I think we will be good to go!

Total Weight Gain: 14 pounds so far...I go back to the doctor tomorrow for yet another weigh in.

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She moves a lot, but I have noticed her slowing down just a tad bit, probably because she is slowly running out of room in there.  She still likes to camp out on my right side under my liver and rib cage and just hang out.  She must be territorial like her mommy.

Sleep: I give up with sleeping well. I always get up a couple of times, to go to the bathroom or roll over to my other side, which takes a lot of effort, believe it or not.  I have a feeling my days of sleeping are loooooong gone, and that is fine with me.

What I miss: A good nights sleep, being able to move without pain, running/exercising.  I read that my uterus is up to one thousand times larger than before I got pregnant...which makes me feel huge and slow...yep that pretty much sums it up!

Cravings: Cold things and chocolate, nothing new.

Symptoms:  Back and neck pain, and crazy heart burn. Nothing I can't deal with. I have nothing major to complain about. Praise God for that!

Maternity Clothes: Yep or shirts a size too big for me when I am not growing a watermelon, but mostly I just wear my husbands t-shirts and a pair of running shorts. And Thank God for being able to wear scrubs to work!

Best Moment this week: My mom and my sister coming down to help me with baby things and washing the baby's clothes.  Sooo very surreal.  And I would be lying if I didn't tell you that it brought tears to my eyes once I realized I was actually washing MY baby's clothes.  I feel so so blessed and grateful for this amazing baby girl that we are just a few weeks away from meeting!  And I thank God for her every single day.

Cravings: Sweets, nothing new.

My baby shower!

My friends and my mom and sister threw me the cutest baby shower!  The details were adorable and even though I told them numerous times, nothing fancy, they didn't listen and far surpassed my expectations.  I loved everything that they did to make this day so special for me!  I am so very blessed for some of the best family and friends that I could ask for.  And this little girl, is so loved already, nothing could make my heart happier :)



Me and all my wonderful hosts, minus my mom.

Total Weight Gain: 11 pounds so far, feels like way more than that though.  I was shocked when I stepped on the scale at the doctors office!  I think its because I have lost all of my muscle mass and replaced it with fat.  But I am definately thankful for a healthy baby so far and not a tremendous weight gain.

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!

Movement: She is moving and kicking like crazy, still!  Andrew has even felt a few of her hard kicks...I think he realizes I am not kidding when it actually kinda hurts sometimes...still wouldn't trade it for anything.  I love feeling this baby move!

Movement: She is moving and kicking like crazy! She seems to be growing like a weed and can really kick hard. Sometimes it really hurts, but still the best feeling ever.  Soccer player??

Cravings: Chocolate and more chocolate, nothing new.

Praise God for that!

Gender: It's a GIRL!!!

Movement:  She has been so active this week, its crazy!  As she has gotten bigger I can definately tell that her little arms and legs are all over my belly.  I think she is having a dance party in there!  I wish I could see in side there at times when she is so active.  Feeling her move never gets old.  Definately the best part about being pregnant is feeling this little girl go crazy in there!

Sleep: I sleep ok.  I wake up a few times and I still have to get up to go to the bathroom at least once, sometimes three times a night.  But I am exhausted!!!  Work is wearing me out.  I so look forward to the weekends when I can semi-sleep in.

What I miss: Running & enjoying coffee in the morning, dang coffee aversion.  I can't even stand the smell of it right now.

Maternity Clothes: My pants definitely don't fit anymore. I can't even come close to ziping them up, let alone buttoning them because of how low she is, but I bought a belly band the other day and it has been a life saver, so I bought anohter one the other day!  I have a feeling I am going to have to go shopping again real soon....darn!

Best Moment this week: Seeing our baby again and getting a good picture of her cute little face in 4D.

I think it is safe to say my belly has officially "popped."  This baby is growing like crazy now.  Macy isn't going to be jealous at all either, can't you tell??
