How far along: THIRD Trimester :: Weeks 36- 40
Size of baby: 38 weeks is a winter melon
Weight gain: And the final weigh in tops the scales at 36 pounds gained; Same amount as I gained with Kinsey but feels like so much more. I'm not upset with gaining the weight, it's where the weight has distributed (lower body- legs & thighs) that has me feeling bad; that is not going to burn itself off and working out/dieting is not in my nature, lol.
Maternity clothes: Still rocking the same old things and feeling less than stellar.
Movement: So much! Which is funny because he's definitely running out of space in there!
Sleep: I've been so tired lately, going to bed early has been a priority. But once I lay down, the fun begins. I get upset stomach instantly and then my back and hips hurt. Thankfully once I fall asleep it's sound.
What I miss: Feeling comfortable in my clothes. Sleeping on my back and stomach. Being able to tie my shoes, shave my legs, heck, just being able to see my feet!
Cravings: All the fruit!
Symptoms: The need for TUMS has been exponential which has me thinking maybe this boy has some hair after all?
Highlight of the Month: This will be my last bumpdate!! I am relishing the movements and the feel of the last baby growing within my body but am really looking forward to holding him earth-side.
Today is also my hospital pre-admin and probably my first physical to check dilation and I'm definitely curious what that will show!
I have been so extremely lucky winning baby giveaways this week that I joked it should end with me having a baby, well that hasn't happened (yet) but the odds are definitely in my favor ;)
Saturday my mom and MIL are throwing me a little sprinkle so that will be sweet day and the last hurrah before little man's arrival!
Yay!!! I'm so excited!!! I can't believe he's literally almost here. I wanna see the giveaways you've won. Nice!! So excited to hear that your sweet boy is here.
