38 Weeks


How far along? 38 weeks
How big is the peanut? Pumpkin
Total weight gain/loss? I've actually lost some weight. I was up almost 44 last week, now I've lost 2lbs and I'm only up 42. My eating hasn't changed although I've been pretty "regular" so maybe that's why. I think I've heard your body "cleans you out" before you deliver.
Maternity clothes? Yep
Sleep? Pretty good. Slept almost 10 hours on Sunday, now it was consistent. Got up to use the bathroom a few times and tossed & turned due to my hips hurting but overall pretty good sleep. 
Best moment this week? This is going to sound horrible, but learning Kate Middleton is pregnant. I am obsessed with her and now it'll only get worse the next 7+ months.
Symptoms? Some heartburn, some icky blah feeling, hips hurting, lighting crotch, and some contractions but nothing consistent. 
Food cravings? Water and peanut butter
Food aversions? Nothing really, just need to not eat big meals as there isn't much room left in there. 
Gender? Sweet baby girl 
Labor signs? I think so, I'm getting the sharp pain that everyone refers to as lighting crotch, basically the baby pushing down (since she's head down, again!) and I think I'm getting contractions. The whole belly feels tight but they're not timeable so I'm sure it's false labor. 
Belly button in or out? Way out
Stretch Marks? Don't see any yet, doesn't mean they aren't there!
Movement? Lots! Not so much jabs and kicks but rolling side to side and a very lopsided if little girl gets in a weird position
Wedding rings on or off? Off
What I miss? Everything at this point, I just want to see her sweet, beautiful, precious face!!! 
What I'm looking forward to? I guess my weekly appointments to see if I am making any progress. 
Milestones? 38 is considered full term to everyone, so this little princess can come at any time now!
Bump? Still haven't dropped as much as I would like!
