38 weeks


 How far along: Almost 38! A little early, but I wanted to do one more post in case I go early.

Total weight gain: So far I've gained 10 total.

Size and growth of the baby: According to the ultrasound he is just over 7 pounds!

Sex: Boy! Re-confirmed by ultrasound the other day :) Calmed my fears of him coming out and being a girl.

Maternity clothes: Everything!

Sleep: Some nights are better than others, but for the most part I am up 3 or 4 times a night.

Best moment(s) of the week: I love seeing his precious face on the ultrasound! I cannot WAIT to see what he is going to look like once he is here :) I also turned 24 this week! And my precious hubby made it pretty special :) love him!

Movement: A lot! Whoever said that movement slows down a lot the last few weeks obviously wasn't pregnant with this child. It is as strong and as often as ever.

Food cravings/aversions: The norm. 

Morning sickness: Depends on the day...and what I eat.

Symptoms: Pelvic pain. Pretty sure I waddle now too. A lot of contractions the last few days. My feet are also starting to swell if I am up a lot.

Labor signs: Pelvic pain. Contractions. I am dilated to 2cm and 50%

Belly button in or out:  It really depends on the clothes I wear whether you can tell or not, but I am saying its out! And also very painful :/

What I miss: Having a flat stomach and the stuff I can no longer do because my belly is too big. Being able to breathe. There honestly really isn't any "good" pregnancy symptoms this late in the game. I am ready to have him!

What I'm looking forward to: Having this little guy! My doctor doesn't seem to think I will make it to 39 weeks much less 40...I won't mind if he's right :) Our bags are packed and ready!

Growth ultrasound

We had a growth ultrasound done yesterday, because the little guy has been measuring two weeks ahead this whole pregnancy. And I wouldn't say it calmed my fears, because they measured him at being over 7 pounds already! We are just praying the dates are off...which I have been saying all along. But...I have a lot of mentally preparing myself to do to prepare for this labor now. I might have semi freaked out last night.

I added a picture to our facebook...I can't get over how cute his little face is! :)
Can't wait to see him in person! :)
