38 Weeks!

How far along are you? 

38 Weeks, 4 Days!

 

Total weight gain? 

  34.6 lbs.  The last time they weighed me, I'd literally just had lunch, so I'm not sure how accurate that weight gain is!

Baby Information?

  Baby sounds good!  They ran an ultrasound to take one last look at the accessory lobe to the placenta.  The baby is pretty squished in there.  Karen was able to point out where her belly was, so it gave me a sense of what body parts were poking me at that moment!  That was about all we could make out!

Any doctor news?

Blood pressure was 104/64 Friday.  I go for Pre-Op on Tuesday!

Best moment ?

  Everything is washed and put together.   The house is ready for baby... now we just need her here!

Worst moment ?

Still having lots of anxiety about the surgery.  I know once I'm in the situation, I'll relax a little, but it is the anticipation that is affecting me right now.  

I also am SO not ready for my leave... I'll be living at school for the next two days just shoving stuff into boxes if anyone is looking for me.   I'll organize it in August...

I'm also trying to pack for the hospital.  I looked at my bag today and realized that while I had lots of stuff for the baby, I had only packed a pair of yoga pants and some underwear for me.  I'll be fixing that today!

Stretch Marks?
Same.  Haven't gotten anymore, which is amazing!

Maternity clothes?

  2 more days of "normal" clothes, then I can wear pajamas ALL the time until August!
Symptoms Wow, heartburn.  I can't wait to be done with that.  I wonder if there is a world record for how many Tums one can consume over a 9-month period...  She is rolling around a lot still.  I get spurts of energy and then they fade.  

 
Cravings

  Nothing in particular.  Just hungry all the time.  
 
 Gender? 

The room is lavender with butterflies, and I now have girly things and dresses.  She'd better still be a girl.

 

Sleep?
I've been doing alright in the sleep area.  Last night wasn't so great, but the last few nights, I've only woken up twice! 

What I miss?

Bending.  Thankfully, my students are very well trained to pick things up when I drop them without being asked!
 

What I'm looking forward to?

Meeting this little girl on Wednesday!!!
