Yes, you read that correctly! I am 38 weeks pregnant with Baby Girl. I am writing this post on a Monday, which means in exactly 2 weeks (if not sooner), Baby Girl will be arriving via C-section. I am scared, excited, anxious, etc. I had a newborn over 3 years ago, so I definitely need to become reaccumulated to it.
Due Date: July 9, 2014! Csection (3rd one) is on July 7, 2014
Total Weight Gained: +31 pounds
How big is baby? The doctor thinks this will be my smallest baby. He is thinking around 7’2. I am thinking 7’9.
Labor Signs: None thankfully but it can start at any time.
Maternity Clothes: Of course and I don’t fit in most of them now either!
Stretch Marks: None so far. I had none with either kid, so it best stick like that:) Lotion is key!
Sleep: Pretty good. I have not felt tired which is amazing. I go to sleep from 12-8 with 1 or 2 pee break wake ups. I am sleeping around 6-8 hours a night which is great!
Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week: Seeing Baby Girl toe outline my belly. It was the weirdest thing evert!
Movement: Constantly! She never stops!
Food Cravings: Nothing really except diet soda! Bad, I know!
Food Aversions: Nothing at all!
Sex: It is a girl!
Names: We have her name picked out but you will find out soon enough.
Exercise: Stopped tennis at 35 weeks. Now I am just working as a dentist, which is enough exercise.
What I miss: Raw Oysters! RI has the best raw seafood in the summer and I can’t wait to partake. Also, a stiff drink!
What I’m looking forward to: Meeting her! Seeing her personality and seeing if she is born with hair:) Both of my kids had ridiculous amounts of hair when born
Me at 37 weeks:
Congrats to you – you are really in the home stretch now! I missed eating sushi too while I was pregnant with both my kids.
Congrats and good luck on your delivery! You’re in the home stretch!
You look wonderful! I enjoyed reading your update, it brought back memories. With all three of my children I was scared, excited and anxious, too. Congratulations and best wishes for you and your new addition to the family!
Awe, congrats to you!!! Seeing that toe must have been amazing! I craved cereal with the twins, I was CRAZY about cereal!!! lol
Almost around the corner! Enjoy the final stage, I miss being pregnant/. It’s such a blessing!
Anytime now that precious bundle will be here! Congratulations, I can’t wait to see pictures!
AHHH I cannot wait to see pictures of this little one!
Getting so close!!
Eeeeeek! I’m so excited for you guys! Getting back into newborn mode is fun. I can’t believe how many of the little things you forget when you haven’t been there in a while. All of their little squeaks, the way they curl up in a little ball, the sweet rooting reflex when they are hungry, the itty, bitty, teeny, tiny little clothes and diapers…gah! Enjoy these last few weeks, and I’m praying for a safe delivery of your little one!
