How far along: 38 weeks pregnant! That's 9 1/2 months, WOW!!!
Size of baby: watermelon
(19 - 22 inches & 7 pounds)
Cam & I saw watermelon at the grocery store the other day & bought one :) that was sure an eye opener to how big baby is.
Weight gain/loss: DAMN YOU WET WEIGHT!!!
Maternity clothes: I don't even have an extra extra large shirt to lounge around in anymore. So I've given up! lol.
I did decide to buy my nursing bras AFTER bubba arrives. This way I get exactly what I want & what fits. I'll just drag Cam & Bubba to the maternity store with me! :)
Movement: surprisingly not as much movement as previous weeks, BUT I hear that's a sign of baby dropping & preparing so I'm ok with that. Bubba seems to love it when I drink cold water, always moves then.
Sleep: I'm exhausted, SO tired! I'm still waking up all the time at night but of course that just comes with pregnancy right?! And poor Cam, I'm still snoring :(
Yep! Above is still all so true.
Cravings: ice cream, candy, lots of fruit still (which I do eat). I'm getting nauseous again a lot so that prevents me from wanting to eat but I think Bubba stretches into my rib cage (good times!).
Symptoms: DAMN YOU WET WEIGHT!!!! Stupid swelling all over my stupid body & in my stupid feet which hurt & my stupid hands that can't make a fist. Oh, & stupid heartburn!
But I loooove my baby belly when it's not in the way :)
Best moment of the week: well.... my aunt Lina who lived in Germany & was 109 1/2 years old had died. That was NOT a good moment, but she's in heaven now & that's good!
My brother Jason had his 26th birthday on the 10th & we went out to dinner & a movie with my family which was really awesome!
And tomorrow is Cameron's 32nd birthday!!!! So maybe Bubba will arrive to say happy birthday to Daddy :)
Yikes! The time, I've got to go to the doc & get my membranes sweeped. Has anyone done that before?? I'm a bit nervous about it, but rather have it done than a medical induction at 41 weeks.
Love!

Hey Nicole! Im glad to hear things are going well with you and baby. It does get a little tougher at the end but just hang tight. You will never get these days back. As for membrane sweeps...they can help induce labour but usually only work if your body is ready. They can cause cramping and some spotting also. I had one done with our first but and was going to have one with #2 but I went into labour first. It can be uncomfortable and not produce much but dont get discouraged if nothing happens. Babies have their own time schedule. Hope it all goes well for you!
