Size of baby:  over 20 inches long and weighs 7 pounds (a mini watermelon)
Gender: Girl - Sadie
Maternity Clothes: Yes, maternity dresses are outfits of choice.
Weight gain: + 30 pounds

Symptoms: Contractions off & on but nothing consistent
Sleep: sleeping better the last few weeks.
 What I miss: Almost starting to miss being pregnant since this will be the last time.
Cravings: Watermelon and chocolate.
Best moment this week:  One last weekend for Emma being an only child.
What I am looking forward to: Sadie. Getting labor over with.
Doctor's appointment recap: Blood pressure: good. Urine: good. + 2 pounds weight gain. The cervical check was uncomfortable but found out that I am 3 cms dilated, 75 % effaced, and still head down. The doctor predicted that Sadie would be the same size or smaller than Emma. I did ask for my membranes to be stripped and I don't remember it being so painful. Last time, a woman stripped them; this time, it was a male. He predicted that I would not make it to my next appointment.

** We were so excited to make it to August (insurance renewal date) and then disappointed that my doctor's appointment had to be delayed 3 days due to medical emergency for the practice. We impatiently waited for this doctor's appointment!
