How Far Along: 39 Weeks
Size of Baby: Baby size! Perhaps in the 7lb and 20 inch range. Think: small watermelon (oh, my!)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 22 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Nothing new. I ordered and received all of my nursing bras. Why can't they make the comfortable ones pretty??? Really, is it too much to ask?? I mean, I'm going to wear the same 4 bras for the next year of my life, and they only come in black and nude. (Sorry if this is too much info...)
Baby Movement: Baby's movements have drastically changed. Once baby stuck to a head down position, the movements have been much calmer, and less bouncy. More pushing and stretching with some spinning like a top movements.
Sleep: The same love/hate relationship exists. At least when I am up in the middle of the night when I'm tending to a baby, there will be a purpose to it.
What I miss: Regular jeans. Feet that don't resemble water balloons. Wearing my wedding ring.
Cravings: Not a lot. I haven't been all that hungry recently.
Aversions: Not too much. I guess it depends on the day, or time of day.
Symptoms: Swollen feet and hands. Heartburn. Also, baby has dropped in the last week, and I definitely feel it. Contractions have started, but nothing regular enough to get excited about. I'm just practicing for the real deal.
Best Moment: Not really a moment, but all the anticipation of the baby's arrival is really exciting right now. The girls are getting so excited and they talk about it all the time.
