38 weeks!


Well this week we had a tiny scare. Spent a few hours in labor and delivery with some blood pressure issues. Just needed some rest and it came down.  This week things have changed a lot. I thought it was hard to move before, well it's almost impossible now.  I have definitely been spending more time on the couch and listening to my body to slow down.  I keep thinking she's coming early but we all know she's the boss.

How many weeks: 38 Weeks! 
Touch your toes?no
Stretch marks? yes, more showing up in random places.
Sleep: Do I dare say I'm sleeping a little better? Still getting up a million times but having an easier time going back to sleep, watch now I won't sleep.
Best moment this week: listening to my baby girls heart beat for 4 hours while in the hospital.
Miss Anything? wine, being able to get up from the couch with out grunting and using all my strength.
Movement: she's slowed down a bit, maybe running out of room or resting up for her big exit.
Food cravings: eating anything and everything insight and still havent' gained anything in 4 weeks!
Anything making you queasy or sick: no
Gender:  It's a GIRL!
Labor Signs: braxton hicks, lots of pressure and cramping
Symptoms: carpal tunnel, back ache, fatigue, slowness
Belly Button in or out? OUT! It finally happened!
Wedding rings on or off? wedding band only is on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy most of the time.
Looking forward to:  Finishing the nursery.  We got the glider last night so we just need to put that together and get the extra junk out of the room and we are all ready for Baby G!

37 Weeks!

This past week, things have changed.  Baby G has dropped and I think dropped a little more. I've experienced what I think to be more painful braxton hicks.  I think preparations are being made for her exit.  This week we hit the full term mark, and it scares and excites me.  I can't wait to  meet this little girl.  But I am scared out of my mind about labor, I'm sure as it gets closer I'll settle down and just want her out!


How many weeks: 37 Weeks!  Full Term!
Touch your toes?no
Stretch marks? yes
Sleep:Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't, whatever.
Best moment this week: Having a 3 day weekend! At this stage of the game it's almost necessary.
Miss Anything? being able to move.
Movement: lots of pointy elbows and knee jabs
Food cravings: super hungry this week! baby g must be growing!
Anything making you queasy or sick: no
Gender:  It's a GIRL!
Labor Signs: braxton hicks
Symptoms: slow, slow slow, feeling like I have to carry my belly at times, carpal tunnel that radiates to my shoulders at night, oh and the feeling that something is trying to get out of me.
Belly Button in or out? it's half out
Wedding rings on or off? still able to put my wedding band on!
Happy or Moody most of the time:Happy with a dash of get this thing out of me.
Looking forward to:  not going to lie, the weekend, work is getting rough eventhough I sit at a desk most of the day.

36 Weeks!

Oh boy I've missed a few weeks, sorry! I've just been feeling tired, and trying to get all the baby stuff ready.  Only 4 weeks to go!  I also wanted to do a post on my wonderful shower but haven't gotten the pics from it yet.  So once I have those I will update :-)  We should have the baby room done soon too, so lots of pics to come!



How many weeks: 36 Weeks!
Touch your toes?no
Stretch marks? yes
Sleep: my random sleep patterns and positions annoy me and Josh.  Although do I dare say I'm having an easier time falling back to sleep after waking up to pee?
Best moment this week: Worked feverishly this weekend on getting more of the baby room done with the help of mumsy :-)
Miss Anything? sleep, being able to move, and not being stared at like a freak show
Movement: she's in my ribs, and on my bladder yay!
Food cravings: wine.........nicely chilled white por favor
Anything making you queasy or sick: no

Labor Signs: braxton hicks, oh and this just in! baby g dropped. I don't know if she dropped completely put she did a little. After eating some fabulous tacos from Cali Burrito.
Symptoms: Carpal Tunnel is getting worse, heartburn,  back pain, swollen feet and hands
Belly Button in or out? it's slowly popping out
Wedding rings on or off? just my wedding band.
Happy or Moody most of the time: tired, I dont think I've been very moody, ask the hubs though.
Looking forward to:  Being another week closer to seeing this baby girl. We keep wondering if she will have red hair and what she will look like.  Starting to get anxious for the labor and delivery.  She's going to have to come out? of where? 10 centimeters? Do you know how big that is? And she's about 6lbs now? ACK ! Panic!
