How far along? 37 weeks (wk of April 14th)
Total weight gain/loss: 8lbs (phew!)
Maternity clothes? Yes - thank goodness for those maternity jeans.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Yes, with the usual waking up to go potty each early a.m
Best moment this week: Hearing that my girlfriend (whose due date was 4/30 - a week before mine) had her baby on 4/15! Her daughter is so precious, we are looking forward to some new diva bff's when Ava's born! Also, having my hospital bag packed & ready to go. I've decided against a robe, I never wear one anyway, and it'll be summertime. Unless I find the right one... Oh, and Ava's clothes are washed & folded neatly - along w/the bibs, blankets, ,burpees, towels, washcloths, sheets, etc. And the bassinet is clean & laundered & ready for a little girl.
Miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach! I cannot wait to be able to do so again!
Movement? All the time, and I love it!
Food cravings: I do like my chocolate & fortunately I'm not going overboard, b/c my weight was back to 8lbs. I'm good!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Same ol' same - just have to be careful what I eat & at what time, and to have a zantac close by.
Gender: girl
Labor signs: none at all
Symptoms: Soreness down below (must be more growing), indigestion, exhaustion. Got my first taste of dehydration - and saw weird spots (like when you look directly into a light bulb, then look away). I got nervous but I wasn't swelling or anything else, so I knew it was just dehydration bc I hadn't had enough water Mon or Tues. I drank a lot that night, and the spots went away. I had two naps after work, too!
Belly button in or out? On the verge of not being an innie much longer.
Wedding rings on/off: Off
Happy or moody? Happy, thank goodness. I'm out of the emotional phase, trying not to snap or get upset. Just exhausted!
Looking forward to: Last week I was looking forward to the sonogram, which miss Ava decided to turn her back on us for, so I didn't get to see her little face. But we saw her back & spine, and that looked so cool. I also met the pediatrician and loved her! A big plus, she is close friends (not just colleagues) with my regular doctor whom I love, so I was sold. This week was just making it another week. All was well w/my OB appt, so that was great. Baby is measuring about 6lbs 4oz right now, just perfect!
Things to do this week: Make sure that hospital bag is complete (done!) and clothes are washed & ready (done & done!). Really need to get the house in order b/c people are going to be coming to visit, to stay w/us and it can't look like we just moved in. Time to get organized!
xoxo
