38 week update

How Far Along: 38 weeks 2 days 

Size of baby: Well.. the doctor scared me and said, "It feels about 9 lbs!" When he was measuring/feeling my belly. Then he said he was kidding and it feels very average, about 7 lbs. Thank God. But, my apps say it's about the length of this leek: 

Total Weight Gain: about 35 lbs. Oye! 



Sleep: Starting to get harder... Just the waking up to pee all the time! 

 Symptoms: Same old Braxton Hicks... nothing more really. They're getting a little stronger I suppose. 

Cravings: Still nothing. Lame! 

Gender- who knows?!

Movement: Moving like crazy! I swear I can feel toes at the top of my belly sometimes. 

Maternity Clothes: Same

Best Moments this week: Writing in the new baby book from my work baby shower! 

What I'm looking forward to: Finding out what this baby is! 

Milestones:  I'm 1-2 cm dilated and 50% thinned! Wahoo!

To Do List: I guess just packing the rest of my bag and deciding what baby outfit to bring him/her home in. We also need to put the car seat in the jeep.

    Good luck! My midwife told me baby felt like 7.5 pounds at 37 weeks and scared me too. I really thought I'd be late and my baby would be HUGE. He came out 1 day after my due date at 7 pounds 6 oz, which is the weirdest when you see your tummy growing so fast those last few weeks.

    I'll be praying for a safe delivery and speedy recovery!
