How far along: 38 weeks
Baby Size:
Weight: Up a few pounds from last week. Total so far is just over 30 gained.
Symptoms:
Maternity Clothes: Tops yes, pants are yoga pants, leggings or the rare appearance of maternity jeans.
Sleep: I wish!
Cravings/Food Aversions: I just don't really have much of a desire to eat lately.
Belly Button: Out
Rings on or off: On
Gender: I'm thinking boy now but kind of because I do think it's a girl so I feel like it must be a boy then.
Name: We have a boy and girl name all set.
Movement: Yeah, but not as much as before. So I mentioned this at my appointment yesterday and my doctor decided to do a non stress test (nst). Baby started off slow and once the nurse buzzed my belly (with a hand held massage thing) it perked up a little and has been a little better the last day or so.
Stretch Marks: Yeah, but not nearly as many as with Eleanor.
Best moment: Feeling like I have pretty much everything done. All I need to get done is move Eleanor's car seats and install the bases in both cars.
Eleanor's been playing with the bouncer and the kick n play piano play mat and it's really cute.
Looking forward to: Meeting the baby!
Nervous about: I'm scared I'm going to resent the baby for changing my relationship with Eleanor, or Eleanor for cutting it into my time to celebrate and bond with the baby.
What I miss: The occasional glass of wine, being able to sit comfortably.
Labor signs: I'm still having lots of bh's and lately have been having a lot more pelvic pressure which I don't really remember having with Eleanor.
Appointments: Every week now. Yesterday was just supposed to be quick but wound up taking a little longer because of the NST
