~39 weeks~



How far along: 39 weeks

Baby Size:  


Weight:  Up about 1lb this week.  Total is about 36 pounds gained.

Symptoms:   


  • Restless legs
  • Braxton Hicks
  • Lots of pelvic pressure
  • I have been having a hard time with my brain functioning properly.  I took the trash out to the road last week and as I walked back to the house I had a moment where I wondered why the trash can was not in it's normal spot.  Then I was working on my quiet book and could not figure out how to make a letter N.   Finally I just can't hear properly either.  Rob said "shut off the lights please" and I heard "shocked I like these."  He was eating carrots at the time so it made sense to me. 

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing the same pair of pants most days.  They are comfy yoga pants.  I'm starting to outgrow more tops again.  I only have a few that fit.  And it's getting cold now, and I have one hoodie that zips up.  None of my jackets or coats do.

Sleep:  Insomina was pretty bad this week.  I had more than one night that I didn't fall asleep until after 2 am.

Cravings/Food Aversions:  White grape juice, potato skins, onion rings, trail mix

Belly Button: Flat to out


Rings on or off: Off

Gender:  I'll find out soon if she really is a girl.

Name:  Eleanor Rose


Movement: I don't feel her move as often and it kind of makes me nervous.  I feel the nudges of body parts, but not the big movements.  I've said this twice to Rob and naturally she starts moving right after that for a few minutes.  I think she likes him better. 


Stretch Marks: To many to count

Best moment: I was happy we got the car seat installed. 

Looking forward to:  Meeting her





Nervous about: Being responsible for another human and being on my own all the time with her.  Rob doesn't get time off. 

What I miss:  Bending forward, bending over, walking without pain


Labor signs: I thought I could be having contractions yesterday, but I don't really know if they were real ones or not, and since I'm still pregnant I guess not. 

Appointments:  Today at 2


Misc.  The car seat is installed, her room is done, come on baby!




I'm starting to understand why it annoys people when they are constantly asked if they had they baby yet or still pregnant.  I'm not to the point where it annoys me yet, but I get how it could be.  If I don't have a baby in my arms I'm probably still pregnant.
