38 Weeks

Some days I still have trouble registering that we are already at this point!

Total weight gain: I was back down a pound at this weeks appointment, I think this will probably happen til the end now and my weight will just fluctuate.  The good news is that my doctor didn't say anything about me being small or measuring small. 
Maternity clothes? Nothing new.
Stretch marks? Yep, they are there.  Also a good sign that baby boy has grown.  I'm still slathering on oil and/or lotion though.  It helps with the itchiness for sure and the few stretch marks I do have are not red so I think it helps keep them somewhat at bay.
Sleep: Sleep is iffy.  If I can get and stay comfortable it is good, but finding a position that is comfortable is tough!  My hips, and back, well just about everything hurts to stay in one position for too long.
Best moment this week: I got all pre-registered at the hospital and took a little tour of where our hospital stay will take place and where we will welcome baby to the world.  Talk about real life!!! This little visit made things very real!
Miss Anything? Comfort, in so many aspects!
Movement:  Yep, but I do feel like he has slowed down a tad.  Instead of kicks and rolls. It's a lot more squirms and slow turns now.  Once in a while he still throws in a jab or a karate kick though! 
Food cravings:  Nothing really. 
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nothing here either.
Gender:   Boy
Labor Signs: Nothing major.  I feel like I've had a few little twinges here and there but nothing to jump in the car or call the doctor for. 
Symptoms: Still having some mild heartburn, maybe a little bit of water retention.  Mainly now though I feel a lot more pressure lower into my pelvis and tightness in my hips and groin area. 
Belly Button in or out? Still pretty flat.  If baby is sitting to the sides or higher though it goes back in a tad.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Getting a few loose ends tied up a work, hopefully getting out of the house a little bit for some fresh air! No more snow! And of course baby's arrival....but secretly I want him to wait until May.  I picked May 4th as my day so he should show up then!!! (Like I have any say!!)
