OK so officially 38 weeks pregnant and am really hoping that something happens this week. I thought I was having contractions tonight but they didn't hurt, my stomach just got really tight for a short time and then relaxed. Maybe braxton hicks? I'm trying to stay positive and keep myself busy........so I naturally decided to make curtains for my bedroom which totally brightened it up, and then mom came over and she helped me with the last part of the quilt I'm making for little Jake in Albany. I told myself it had to get done before baby comes otherwise not sure when poor Jake would get his quilt :)
This weekend I spent it relaxing as much as possible, I did some sun bathing and laid in the pool (my extra large kid pool that is), and it was GREAT! Mom finished making the skirt for the crib and brought that over, so now I think I can honestly say we are READY, now we just need a little baby. Johnny and I took the dogs for 2 walks today, I read that walking can help naturally induce labor......fingers are crossed!
Not much to really talk about going on with baby right now, he is just getting bigger at this point. Should be between 7 and 7.5 lbs according to my doctor. I'm really afraid that if I go full term he will be a BIG baby....yikes!
So here is my pic of the week:
How many weeks? 38
Baby is the size of : about 7-7.5lbs in weight this week - every baby is different though so who knows!
How am I feeling: I feel fine, just not staying at the restaurant as long during the day anymore, it just gets soooo hot and I just can't move like I used to be able to.
Can't eat: nothing that doesn't really appeal to me, I've been drinking a lot of milk with ovaltine
Energy level: pretty good, some days I'm really tired and others I have a ton of energy
Maternity Clothes?
OF COURSE, although in the summer weather I've discovered long maxi
skirts are great because I can buy my regular size and they just sit low
under my belly.....so it was fun to be able to buy some non maternity
stuff that I can wear post pregnancy :)
Movement: He is
always moving around but you can totally tell that he has little to no
room left inside because its no longer actual kicks its just moving
around and usually its a foot in the same spot every time
Looking forward to: The big day
