How Far Along: 38 Weeks 6 Days (1 week 1 day until due date)
Size of baby: over 20 inches long and weighs 7 pounds (a mini watermelon)
Gender: Girl - Emma
Maternity Clothes: I've packed my hospital bag so my clothes are even more limited!
Weight gain: + 20 pounds (Yes, I lost a pound last week; must have worn lighter clothing at the weigh in.)
Weight gain: + 20 pounds (Yes, I lost a pound last week; must have worn lighter clothing at the weigh in.)
Movement: Emma is still constantly moving around; she's a bundle of energy.
Symptoms: more cramping (false labor per doctor), going to the restroom constantly, appetite, tired.
Sleep: sleeping okay; there are a few nights that I haven't slept well and that makes the next day miserable!
What I miss: bending over without hurting.
Cravings: hot chocolate - it's been a bit too hot for that.
Best moment this week: Good doctor's visit. Enjoyed being outside and doing some yardwork, although I did pay the price of picking weeks - my legs are so sore!
What I am looking forward to: A cervical check on Friday, going to Provino's this weekend to eat the eggplant parmesan, which is supposed to help jumpstart labor ... we shall see!
Doctor's appointment recap: Blood pressure: good (didn't get numbers). Urine: good. Weight gain: - 1 pounds (yay!) No cervical check this visit but the doctor said that they will do one this friday (39 weeks 2 days). The doctor that I will see this Friday is my regular OB doctor; we haven't seen him since my first appointment in June.
