38 Weeks

How far along? 38 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 28lbs
Maternity clothes? A mixture of maternity and non-maternity still. Although to be honest, I'd much rather just wear pajamas
Stretch marks? None! (And hopefully it will stay that way)
Sleep? Still the same, getting up to pee often
Best moment last week? Weekly visits started!
Movement? Still moving all over the place
Food cravings? I've been on an orange kick lately, orange juice, oranges. Yum.
Gender? A sweet baby girl, Grace Foster Huey
Labor signs? None
Belly button it/out? It's completely flat still
Wedding rings on or off? On (kinda) I have to pick one, I can't wear all three rings at the same time (two bands & engagement ring)
What I miss: Nothing still except wearing normal clothes and being able to order spring clothes and try them on
What I am looking forward to: Being full term in a week!
Milestones: We'll install the car seat this weekend, make a trip to Target to grab a couple more things and I'll FINALLY pack that hospital bag I've been putting off...



37 Weeks


How far along? 37 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 29lbs
Maternity clothes? I just grab whatever maternity item I can find. Have them all in a pile together in my closet because it's just easier.
Stretch marks? None! (And hopefully it will stay that way)
Sleep? Pretty sleepy sometimes but others I am wide awake and cleaning like a psycho
Best moment last week? Y'all I'm dilated half a centimeter. So excited even though I know that means nothing haha, but it is half a centimeter less that I have to go at delivery
Movement? Still moving all over the place
Food cravings? Still oranges & Dr. Pepper
Gender? A sweet baby girl, Grace Foster Huey
Labor signs? None that I can feel
Belly button it/out? It's weird now. I don't know how to describe it.
Wedding rings on or off? On sometimes. We've had some pretty warm days here lately and when we do my little hands swell and I can't wear my rings :-(
What I miss: Nothing except comfortable sleep
What I am looking forward to: That our little girl could come now ANY DAY! And that once we hit February 1st my sweet husband is taking me to buy my push present (It's amethyst so we're waiting to make sure she's actually born in February first)
Milestones: FULL TERM BABY
