38 Weeks~ 9 1/2 months

Size of a pumpkin!

How far along? 38 weeks

Total weight gain:

33 pounds- yep lost one. I read that some people start loosing weight towards the end but I really think it’s all the walking and having an upset stomach all the time. 

Maternity clothes? 

Yes.

Stretch marks? 

Nope! 

Sleep: 

It’s good every other night. I have woken up with either an upset stomach or really bad back pain. Nights I do sleep I’m up every two hours. It is always consistent times which is funny.

Best moment this week: 

Hearing I am progressing and getting closer to the due date!!  And getting to a hold a sweet little newborn she was so cute! We were pretty proud of ourselves that she didn’t cry at all.. she’s probably just a really awesome baby though..

Miss Anything? 

Wearing my real wedding/engagement rings.

Movement: 

He’s not moving as much but when he does ow! That little booty is painful. He has def. moved down lower which is pretty uncomfortable.

Food cravings: 

Butter. Yep butter.

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

BBQ, fish, a lot of things these days. I’ve been sticking to carbs (with butter) they seem to be safer on the stomach

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

Contractions and then nothing. Super frustrating. Especially when you are up all night and then they stop right around the time you have to get up. 

Symptoms: 

Back pain, contractions, not sleeping

Belly Button in or out? 

Yes

Wedding rings on or off? 

Off 

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

Well I think for 90% of my pregnancy I have been pretty good until now.. I am very irritable. I would rather still feel good then to have a million contractions that lead to nothing! I’m ready for him to be here!! Poor Jamie I really do feel bad. Of course he said his ideal time for Jackson to arrive would be next week and I about head butted him.. but really next week would be perfect for everyone so I can’t really argue. 

Looking forward to: 

Meeting Jackson!!!  

Workout:

Walking everyday at least 1x. Taking those stairs as much as possible. Considering squats while holding Oscar :)

Furry Babies:

I swear they are getting more and more cuddly everyday. We are smashed like sardines in the bed every night. 

To dos:

• Done: Made our last Cosco run, made another freeze meal, got my hair cut, found more library books for my kindle (I’m going to start averaging one a day here pretty soon), Jamie has kindly let me take over the netflix so I am watching sappy love movies and crying through when he’s not home of course :) The Vow really got me! I also organized the pantry, cleaned the laundry room, and cleaned out half of the fridge (I hate cleaning the fridge).. trying to pace myself of the cleaning I can’t run out of things to do! 
• Left: HAVE A BABY!

Dr Appointment:

Went great! Love the doctor I saw she thinks just like me. I am 1 cm dilated and very very soft she said. Things are progressing! She said I could go into labor tomorrow or in two weeks, they really have no way of predicting. She also told me that they will let you go only 1 week over due which is good to hear. I told her I really don’t want to be induced but I really want him out.. and she laughed saying she knew just how I felt. She also said he is a very good size not too big or too small. Overall, very good appointment and encouraging. I’m going to keep on walking! 

2 more weeks (3 weeks max)!!

Jackson is FULL TERM!!
