- How far along?: 39 weeks, 3 days!
- Baby is the size of a: Small pumpkin... a PUMPKIN PEOPLE (according to Ovia Pregnancy app)
- Total weight gain/loss: +25 pounds ...Not nearly as much as I feared.
- Stretch Marks? I now have 3 where I originally had 2 from Amelia, plus 2 identical ones on the opposite side. The white mark on my left side is even bigger, but it doesn't look like the ones on my belly button were for real!
- The Bump: HUGE! I feel like a blimp.
- Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions all the time now, which don't hurt and are just annoying! NO HEARTBURN OR LEG CRAMPS THIS PREGNANCY! That has been absolutely AMAZING!!!
- Food cravings: all things dairy, which I can't have. Oreos!
- Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Nothing!
- Sleep:
What is sleep?! The contractions make if difficult to fall asleep since they are so annoying and I toss and turn more. Amelia wakes up at least twice, plus me going to the bathroom at least twice... Like I said... what is sleep?!
- What I miss: Dairy, not feeling like a blimp, snuggling Amelia, fitting into clothes!
- Weddings Rings On or Off: On and off with ease!
- Any Names Picked Out Yet: Theodore Michael
- Movement: Baby boy moves so much more than Amelia! I constantly feel kicks and jabs, booty pops and hiccups! Theo HATES being shocked when we are on the monitors and is a little turkey for hours afterwards.
- Maternity Clothes: I would rather not wear anything at this point. Sweats, my two pairs of maternity jeans and all the long shirts I can find!
- Labor Signs: I was 3cm, almost 4cm, dilated today! Contractions are still "false" labor and don't cause me pain, which is nice but annoying. Never lost the plug and induction is scheduled for THURSDAY... which is in TWO DAYS!
- Best Moment of the week: Knowing we get to meet you in two days in amazing! I have been trying to soak up every minute with Amelia as my only baby.
- Feeling: Anxious and nervous now that the end date is official. Starting to get very emotional and sentimental that it is my last few days as a mama of one. I can't WAIT to snuggle baby Theo, but am dreading the lack of sleep again. I am praying that Theo doesn't have MSPI and that nursing isn't nearly as painful and awful this time around.
- What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Meeting our son on Thursday!!!!!! We have to be at the hospital at 7am, which I am not looking forward to. Mama is NOT a morning person, so this should be interesting. I am so glad that Theo held off so that Brandon has Thursday-Sunday off to spend with us as a family. I was getting really nervous that he wouldn't be able to be there for every step of the way. CAN'T WAIT FOR THURSDAY!!!!
