38 Weeks.
This time next week, I will have my little love bug in my arms.
In just 7 days my family will expand from 2 to 3.
I am crazy happy!!
Weight gain: Continues to hover around 17lbs. I assume this will be all we gain.
Blood Pressure: Sometimes are a little high as in 138/82, yet other times they are perfect 117/60.
Food aversions: None
Morning sickness: None
Appetite : Back to normal and wanting to eat everything!!
Cravings: Continues to crave mostly sweets.
Blood Sugars: I have given up on the free lunches due to not wanting baby to have to be supplemented once he is born, so they are hovering around normal. A couple have been low for some reason, for no reason.

Clothes: Leggings, sweats and maternity pants. Maternity shirts are getting small.
Headaches: None
Sleeping: Actually hasn't been bad this week although I continue to have to wake up and pee 3 times a night.
Stretchmarks: Yes, sadly just around the belly button.
Bellybutton: So outtie it makes me laugh!
Wedding Rings: Off. fingers a bit swollen, or maybe just fat.
Backaches: Very occasional.
Heart Burn: Not much.
Energy and Motivation: Slightly more tired lately.
Movements: I track every morning and night. You are suppose to get 10 movements in an hour. I have been still getting 10 movements in a matter of minutes.
Contractions: A few braxton hicks here & there. Nothing too intense.
Gender: Boy!
Name: Greyson :)
Missing Anything?: Food, not feeling guilty for eating food. Bending over and picking things up, pants that zipper. The usual I am sure.
Updates:
- Doctor pretty much said we are good to go if we go into labor on our own. So we have been doing ALOT of walking. Can't hurt right!?
- Lots of pressure down low.
- Baby kicked butt at his last NST :)
- Momma is nesting :)
- I am personally hoping to naturally go into labor. If I have to have a c-section that is fine, but I would like to at least feel natural labor before that has to happen.
We have two appointments today, an ultrasound this morning (which I will probably be in as this is being posted) and a NST tonight at 8pm.
Next OB appt will be on Monday which we will find out if we need to have a c-section or if we are being induced.
Your bump is so cute! Can't believe you're nearly there!! Good luck at the appointments!
ReplyDeleteEeeek SO exciting!! Get a lot of rest this next week. I'm so happy for you and your little growing family! I can't wait to see pictures of that handsome little boy!!

ReplyDeleteAhhhh this is so exciting! And you look amazing by the way! Soak in these last few moments of holding your sweet baby so close to your heart. Sending you happy thoughts for a peaceful birth :) ...
ReplyDeletePS- You mentioned you were hoping to go into labor naturally- I did a post about naturally inducing labor with an eggplant parm recipe I found... you can read about it here :) : http://www.tissespieces.com/2013/04/my-eggplant-parmesan-baby.html

Maybe on Mother's Day?!! You are so close, I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to meet your little guy.
ReplyDeleteHOpefully he will come on his own..I was induced for 38 hours and in the end I had a c-section...38 hours of no sleep...pain...and tons of induction procedures. The c-section only took about an hour! If i had known induction could take so long I would have gotten the c-section instead. But recovery is not fun. Either way...baby will be in your arms soon!!
