38 weeks

So obviously this post is a little delayed (since I am writing it with baby Brandon sleeping on my chest); but seeing as how 38 was a pretty busy week for me I think I deserve a little slack =)

** I delivered the baby the next night after taking this picture**

 

 

How far along? 38 weeks

Total weight gain: 35lbs

Maternity clothes? Pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for things to wear. Literally, pulling dirty items out of my hamper.

Stretch marks? None. God bless good genes and cocoa butter.

Sleep: The same, up every 3 hours to either pee or flip my big belly to the other side. It's like an Olympic sport at this point.

Best moment this week: Meeting baby Brandon <3

Movement: He's obviously out of room at this point. There's nowhere to go but down.

Food cravings: None. Haven't really had any this whole pregnancy. But these last few days my appetite has been nada.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Hearing from the ultrasound tech how big our baby is measuring,, puts an uneasy feeling in your stomach,,, literally.

Labor Signs: Early labor contractions started Thursday Feb 27th and lasted on and off for 2 days. Way to psych a girl out.

Belly Button in or out? Nonexistent.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody! Nervous, frustrated, all of the above.

Weekly Wisdom: Listen to your gut! Mommies know their bodies. My gut was telling me my baby was getting too big and needed out. Read my next post about my labor and delivery story for full details =)
