How Many Weeks? 37 weeks
Size of Baby? Baby is the size of a head of romaine lettuce, measuring about 19.1 inches and is about 6.3 pounds, and baby is gaining about half an ounce each day.
Symptoms? The braxton hicks aren't slowing down! And the last two days my sciatica pain has been back with a vengeance. I'm also really really tired by the end of the day.
Sleep? Yes, I'll take more of that! I'm headed to our sweet sweet bed basically right after I finish this post. Can't get enough!
Miss Anything? Putting my shoes on without feeling like I'm going to pass out.
Movement? Still constant. At times this past week it felt like baby is trying to climb out of my body.
Food Cravings? Meh. That's basically the work that sums up my feeling on making food decisions this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Hopefully we are in the clear with that for the last few weeks. Been nausea free - hooray!
Recent Doctors Appointment? We had a growth scan right after my last post, which was very cool! We had a fun talkative tech and seeing all babes perfect, functioning parts in so much detail was pretty amazing. The heart is still my favorite to watch! AND the tech pointed out that the baby has quite a bit of hair! SO bizarre that they can actually see that and since we were all a little in disbelief, she pushed on my stomach to make it sway in the amniotic fluid. I can't wait to see what it looks like in the outside world soon :) Also, we are up to weekly check-ups now and baby actually showed a little of its face finally when the doctor was confirming it was still head down. That didn't last long though as it quickly put it's hands back over it's face. The doctor says it's way down, and I can feel it! Very much a different feeling than with either of our kids.
Best IP moment? Their friends and family helped put together their nursery and they sent me a picture. It's straight out of a magazine and the only thing it needs is a baby now! I can definitely see/hear the excitement growing in both of them. I really really REALLY can not wait to see this baby in their arms!!!
Most asked question? Nothing too crazy is coming to mind. Lots of "I bet you are ready" comments.
Nesting? Possibly. Yesterday I was doing some cleaning and it snowballed. One of those days where I went to do something, saw something else so got distracted and moved on to that, which led to something else and so on and so on until I was ready to drop but realized I never did the first thing I set off to do. Oy. I did finally (I say finally because I'm sure I did this much earlier with our kids) pack my bag for the hospital and order all my new pump parts and milk storage stuff. So I'll lump that into nesting for now.
