Week 38: March 9th - 15th


How far along? 38 week

Baby Size: He is the size of a PUMPKIN! 18-20 inches long, 6-9 pounds
Maternity clothes? this last week was Nevada Reading week, where teachers are essentially allowed to 'dress down.' So, I got to wear Taylor's t-shirts for most of the week! Woohoo! Pretty comfy. Thank goodness he has shirts my students can read for reading week!

Stretch marks? Same ones, I think. It is hard to look around these days!
Sleep: Some days really good, some days eh. All I really know is that he is getting pretty heavy, so it is hard to sit up when I need to get up. I think my arms are getting stronger though, I have to keep 'pushing up' at night. Haha.

Best moment this week: On Saturday, little guy was moving around all day! Literally. Everyone who was around me was able to feel him move. It was great!

Miss Anything? Being able to go out shopping without being extremely tired after the first store. 
Movement: Saturday there was lots. Every other day he moves during his typical times, when I am sitting for awhile and early AM and in the PM.

Food cravings: Burritos have been sounding good. :)

Difficulties or changes: Reaching my feet is still a problem. But today I did have a success...I was able to trim my toe nails all by myself! Woohoo!
Belly Button In or Out: In, but kind of coming out because my belly is getting soooooo big.

Symptoms: Swollen, swollen, swollen feet, ankles and knees. Heartburn is still an unwanted visitor daily. Oh and my belly is REALLY REALLY ITCHY! Not matter how much lotion or loose clothing I wear. My skin is stretched!
Labor Signs: I have been having a few Braxton Hicks contractions during the night, but I think it is because I sleep too long in one position (on those good sleeping nights) and my body gets annoyed. During the day, I still don't have them. 

Wedding Rings on of off? Off..

Happy or moody: Happy, but still emotional. I could cry at the drop of a hat. But very happy that I will get to meet our little guy very, very soon!
Baby project this week: Getting the dogs used to having 'baby stuff' around the house. They know something is changing, but have little idea that life is really gonna change soon!
Looking Forward to: Enjoying the next couple weeks with him in my belly.
