38 Weeks


Week 37


Week 38

How far along: 38 weeks

Weeks to due date: 2 Weeks!! Holy cow!

Total weight gain: 29 pounds… yep, I’ve packed on some weight in the last couple of weeks =)

Maternity clothes: Get me outta them! This week I gave in and asked Andy if I could “borrow” one of his t-shirts. I just want to be comfortable! Don’t worry, I won’t wear his clothes out of the house… yet…

Sleep: Not better but not worse. That’s good right? Haha! I’ve had some relief from the heartburn I was experiencing so that hasn’t been keeping me up. Andy asked if perhaps the baby is balding since heartburn is a sign you’ll have a baby with a lot of hair.
 
Exercise: This week I did terrible in the exercise department. I only got in 1 strength day and two cardio days. We did have a lot of company this week though so I was pretty active. 
  
Best moment this week: Now that the summer season at camp is complete Andy has a little bit of time off.  We have been pretty busy this week with appointments and company. We hosted 3 different sets of company this week which made for an even busier week. We really enjoyed the family time and appreciated the distraction. Anything to make this last little bit go by faster =) We are getting so excited to meet this little one! 

What I miss: I’m not too uncomfortable for the most part but I miss sitting for longer periods of time without having to adjust so much or stuff so many pillows in just the right places so that my back and belly are supported well. 

Movement: Oh yes!

Food cravings: Nothing specific comes to mind this week.

Making me queasy: Feeling good!

Starting to show: I’m just a waddling creature with the basketball stuffed under my shirt =)

Gender: I’m so so so so so curious!!

Happy or moody:  I think I’ve been pretty happy this week. I know I have my moments but I would definitely say I’m more happy than moody.

Things I've been experiencing this week: I’ve noticed that I’ve been retaining a little more water. I can see it in my feet, ankles and in my face. It’s nothing compared to how I was when I was pregnant with Olivia but just something I’ve been aware of. I’ve also been having a lot of Braxton hicks contractions. 
Olivia has been extra clingy this week. I have been enjoying the hugs and snuggles especially since she has never been one to sit too long. It seems as though she knows something is going to change soon. I’m excited to see how she will do with a baby around. It will be fun to see her be a big sister.   

What I'm looking forward to: having this baby, baby, baby oh

Size of baby:  A pumpkin
