I haven't thought much about labor and delivery... I guess because I don't want to get my hopes up in one particular direction and have things go the completely other way. I don't have any misconceptions that it's going to be "easy" in any way! But it'd be nice if things progressed smoothly no matter which direction things went.
How far along: 36 weeks and 2 weeks to go for induction at 38 weeks. That means 14 days left!!!!
How big is baby: Papaya. Ovia app:
Weight Gain: +16 lbs
Stretch Marks: Even though I don't *think* my breasts have grown, I have noticed that I'm getting some stretch marks on the sides by my armpits.
Symptoms: Nothing terribly new. Same stuff, different day. I am highly emotional though, crying at a bunch of silly things. Baby commercials are the worse!!!!
Sleeping: Nothing new. Reflex still kicking my bottom and insomnia winning.
Food cravings: BBQ and ICE CREAM... oh why do I have to crave ice cream and why does it taste so good that I can't limit it to one bite?
Food aversions: None.
Maternity Clothes: I'm mostly thinking about nursing clothing now. I'm so tempted to buy more tops. I really need some nursing tank tops -- badly! I have a bunch of regular tank tops that I can possibly use (pull down from the top), but I want to be able to unhook the strap. I'm back and forth if I should get these now or wait until after baby boy has arrived.
Movement: Things are squishy in there for him, so I definitely feel it when he has big movements. It shakes my entire body sometimes. Although he moves a ton, I still can't manage to get it on video.
What I did / Got for Baby: Didn't really do much specifically for baby. It was one of "those weeks" again, but hoping that things are going to calm down over the next few weeks and I can start focusing on finishing everything I need to finish before he arrives.
What I miss: being able to get up like a normal person. Sitting down goes ok, it's the having to get up where it gets tricky!
Workouts: -- with two weeks left, probably not going to happen.
What I'm looking forward to: Finishing my Baby-To-Do List!! Which I guess I have to finalize what is on the list first :)
Best moment of the week: Seeing baby boy on the growth ultrasound. I just love seeing him and matching his movements to what I'm feeling.
Rants/Raves:
Rant - my son has his third case of strep throat this year! My poor baby...
Rant - I don't like my son's daycare and I'm going to be moving him. More on this later.
Rave - had a small work celebration for baby. Was nice to celebrate, even when they don't know me that well (been at the company a year).
Rave - I have my official last day of work scheduled to be 5/19! So only 5 more working days for me. Can't wait!!!!
Appointments Next Week:
- 5/16: MFM and BPP
- 5/19: OB and NST
