On Time!!
No pictures today (or maybe I'll post some later). I'll do the stats post since I haven't in awhile..
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 38 weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 30ish lbs according to my scale.
Maternity Clothes: Comfy clothes (workout capris, etc) are still regular sizes. For jeans, I had to stop wearing demi panel and go to all full panel. Demi panel started digging into belly and were not comfortable anymore (this actually started about 4 weeks ago). Shoes - oh boy the feet are swelling. I've been wearing the new flats when going out or my Uggs here lately as its been cold. However, the Uggs are the easiest things to put on and take off, so it just depends. My black riding boots are not working right now either, which makes dressing up a bit tough.
Best Moment this week: Car seat is in the car. Feeling "ready" to bring baby home. Finishing Christmas decorations (will do a post on this later)
Gender: Its a SURPRISE!
Movement: Lots and Lots of movement. James is shocked sometimes at how strong it can be. Baby has dropped so getting some movement around pelvic bone. Baby still seems to have body on right side and limbs out to the left, so most of jabs are that direction. James says all this movement is baby trying to stretch me out, that my belly is too small! Sometimes it feels like the baby is pushing itself down....maybe wishful thinking that Baby's arrival will be sooner rather than later.
Food Craving: Really don't "crave" anything. I can pizza any day of the week. An ice cream snack has become ritual the past couple weeks.
What I miss: Full night sleep ;)
Sleep: pretty interrupted, taking Tylenol PM to help with it. Up at least 2 times per night to go potty. Usually have BH during that time as well.
What I am looking forward to: Bringing Baby home. Christmas.
Belly Button: In, but it has closed up. I am not sure it will pop out.
Symptoms: BH - lots of them! Feet swelling. Achy if I do too much (yes it is amazing how much our body tells us if we would just listen). Frequent potty trips.
(Had a doctor appointment yesterday - 1 CM, 50%. Not too much progress. But she says some consistent contractions could change that in a hurry!!)

Oh my gosh!!!!!! You are practically giving birth, girlie!! 1 cm 50% is awesome. I was only ever dilated to about a 2! You will soon be blessed with the best little bundle ever and I am sooooo excited for you. I'll be praying like crazy that all goes well!
Do me a favor and send me your address if you don't think that's too weird :) Thanks, Jessie!
It so close! Can't wait to hear about the good news (we didn't know the gender of either our kids until delivery - it's such an amazing moment!)
