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

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a head of kale this week.
Total weight gain: 20ish pounds.  The most of any of my pregnancies
Maternity clothes? Same old stuff. I did get a few more pairs of leggings to get me through the next couple weeks.
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

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a spaghetti squash.
Total weight gain: Not positive, around 19 to 20 pounds
Maternity clothes? Yes some but even those are uncomfortable at work. Pants just dig into this baby.

Looking forward to:  Hearing that heartbeat again as we are now on weekly appointments and maybe even seeing a baby face.  I was measuring small last week so if I'm still small this week they said they might do an ultrasound just to check things out. We will see on Thursday.
