39 Weeks

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a honeydew melon this week.
Total weight gain: Total weight gain is somewhere between 21 and 22 pounds. It fluctuates depending on my water intake I think. The doctor did tell me my fluid levels were a little on the high side. That makes me wonder if this baby is really smaller than they are guessing.
Maternity clothes? Mostly trying to get by in leggings and sweat pants. Plus rotating through all of the longest shirts I have.
Stretch marks? Nothing new, but I do have an itchy belly.
Sleep: Sleep is meh. Between Mark snoring and just having to switch sides all night long from being uncomfortable it is just not great.
Best moment this week: Halloween was fun, even though Beau was sick with a tummy bug he perked up enough to trick or treat for a little while. We also had a great parent teacher conference on Thursday and that boy is making me one proud momma.
Miss Anything? Comfort. Coffee. Sleep.
Movement:  Yes, flopping from one side to the other. I feel like its a little late in the game for that but moving all the same. 
Food cravings:  Nothing in particular.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee is still kinda blah. Hopefully that goes away upon babies arrival.
Gender:  I have NO clue. I still have girls vibes a lot, but at the doctor Friday during my check up ultrasound I got hit with a very heavy case of boy.  I just don't know.
Labor Signs:  Some serious contractions every now and then.  Some painful, some not so much.  At my appointment I was "a good two centimeters" and 70 percent effaced. I think baby could show up at any point in time really.  My body is definitely trying to move this little one.
Symptoms: Sleepy, the worst heartburn of this whole pregnancy the last few weeks, pubic bone pain especially when I sneeze or cough. Some end of pregnancy anxiety has kicked in too.
Belly Button in or out? Out.
Wedding rings on or off? On unless I slack on drinking water.
Looking forward to: Meeting this babe.  Finding out gender, and finally seeing all these features that we have got to see a few more times than with Beau or Blake.  Also, seeing if this small belly is really the smallest baby of all. There is just so much unknown that I can't wait to find out and share.

38 Weeks

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a mini watermelon this week.
Total weight gain: Holding steady at 21.
Maternity clothes? Same stuff. I'm ready to fit into some other clothing.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep: So so.  My shoulders have bothered me more than anything this week so I flop from side to side all night.
Best moment this week: Hearing Beau say "I Love you baby" to my belly. He is a great big brother. Also he lost his first tooth this week, it was fun but I also feel emotional thinking about how fast he's grown.
Miss Anything? Comfort, clothes that cover my belly.
Movement:  Yes, but this little peanut did give me a little scare this week. I felt like I couldn't feel much from Sunday to Tuesday so I moved my appointment up to Tuesday and the doctor ran a stress test. Of course when I got hooked up baby started moving like crazy and everything looked great.  I was worth it for the peace of mind to go a day early though.
Food cravings:  Afternoon sweet tooth for sure. Chewy candy one day. Nothing much else though.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee is still just pretty blah which is unfortunate because it is cold in the mornings.
Gender:  I have no more guesses.
Labor Signs: No, but I have been increasingly more uncomfortable and have had some legit contractions here and there.  Also Braxton hicks that seem to be never ending.
Symptoms: Heart burn, full force this week. Thankfully that will be short lived.
Belly Button in or out? Out mostly.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Last ultrasound on Friday and maybe even my last doctors appointment.  It's a busy week this week with the kids and Halloween so it will also be nice to get in some family time.

37 Weeks

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a canary melon this week. I've never had or seen one of those.
Total weight gain: 21 pounds. Feeling super large and waddley
Maternity clothes? Same ol' stuff. Try to make it the next few weeks.
Stretch marks? Nothing new.
Sleep: On and off. When its good it's good when it's bad it's bad. There is no in between.
Best moment this week: Mark got his elk so we have meat in the freezer and we had him home in time for this baby to get here instead of out hunting. I also got my hair down, getting ready for baby photos.
Miss Anything? Comfort, coffee, feeling strong.
Movement:  Yes, but really slowing down.
Food cravings:  Nothing really.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee is still kind of blah. I drink it but it just still doesn't taste spectacular.
Gender:  Still mostly think girl, but I've been seconding guessing myself a lot too lately and thinking boy.
Labor Signs: Some mild contractions but that is all.
Symptoms: Some heartburn, some achy back pains. I hope that doesn't mean back labor.
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? Sometimes on, sometimes they are just to uncomfortable.
Looking forward to: Knowing gender.  But I think we are still days away from that. When they check me at the doctor this body wasn't really doing anything yet.  We shall see what happens.

36 Weeks

Total weight gain: 20ish pounds.  The most of any of my pregnancies

Stretch marks? Nothing new
Sleep: Not the best. I'm having a really hard time going back to sleep if  I wake up.
Best moment this week: Seeing baby. I was measuring small again at my appointment so we checked in on Peanut.  Everything looks good as far as they can tell. Just a tiny babe. Makes me very curious to see what this little thing will end up weighing.
Miss Anything? Sleep, comfort.
Movement:  Yes, some days are slow other days are still very busy.
Food cravings:  Chocolate after lunch.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Coffee is still not my favorite.
Gender:  I have no idea anymore. Mark saw the ultrasound though and for sure thought boy. I'm so anxious to know.
Labor Signs: Some contractions but I still think they are mostly Braxton Hicks
Symptoms: Some heartburn, achy hips, SLEEPY!!
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On unless I don't have enough water.
Looking forward to: The Doc this week, I have my group b test so they will also be checking other things for progress.  It's unbelievable to me that at the end of this week we will be considered full term.

35 Weeks

34 Weeks

Baby Size: Baby is as big as a pineapple this week, and poking around like one too.
Total weight gain: Not positive, I think it depends on the day and how much water I am holding on to.
Maternity clothes? Same few outfits

Sleep: Sleep has been the worst it has been in a while. Tossing and turning from side to side mostly and if I wake up my brain doesn't shut back off.
Best moment this week: Finally went out with my mom and grandma and got a few baby things. Now we can get some bags packed.
Miss Anything? Sleep
Movement:  Yes lots!

Gender:  Still mostly think girl.

I couldn't skip chalk board posts. They have been so fun to look back on.

Movement: Maybe, I can't decide. Seems a little early for that.
