38 week appt and weekly update


From my appointment
  • 2 weeks to my due date, will likely induce that week if she doesn't decide to come on her own, but that will be up to me, so we will see. 
  • 1.5 CM dilated... following the same pattern as I did with Wesley.
  • She's still head down but not super low yet.
*How far along?: 38 wks 
* Total weight gain: up 25
* How big is baby: Between 6-7 lbs on avg. 
* Next appointment: Tuesday at 9
* Maternity clothes?: Sick of them, especially because I keep ruining them with stains and tears making less and less options all the time, especially when some are too short!
* Sleep?: not great. stress and bump don't help
* Best moment this week?: hearing her heartbeat today, feeling her move, making progress in the nursery
* Movement?: She moves a lot. I can often see the outline of her butt/hip on my left side, making my bump lopsided. 
* Food cravings?: sweets, sweets, and more sweets. 
* Pregnancy symptoms: sore back and hips
* Labor signs?: A few contractions
* Belly button in or out?: In
*Gender: girl
* What I miss: I just want to meet her. I have tried to make my peace that she won't come early since Wes didn't, but was disappointed that I haven't made much progress since last week.
* What I'm looking forward to: Having the baby, not grading papers all. the. time.
* Milestone: 2 weeks until EDD. She is mostly just getting fatter in there now.
