How far along: 38 Weeks
Gender: Girl
Total weight gain: 20 pounds gained! With all the stress of Hubs getting deployed to Korea I dropped a little but growth was good so Doc isn't worried.
Maternity clothes: Nah, not really. Mama bought me a couple things and I bought my cheap-o Forever 21 jeans a while back but other wise I just wear leggings and make do with dresses I already had. It hasn't been too bad or unfashionable.
Stretch marks: Not yet! Still moisturizing!!!
Sleep: As good as can be expected. I have to create a little cocoon of pillows every night before bed but I am managing. Having little Oz sleep on my tummy actually helps me nestle in, when he's off roaming I can't get to sleep!
Miss Anything: Let's be honest... Beer, Racing and my abs... Oh and now that Hubs got shipped off to Korea, I miss him more than anything in the world.
Movement: Yes! It's creepy, like I have a little alien inside. I see every single movement due to not having extra layers of fat. So weird!
Cravings: Total myth. These really honestly don't exist... or didn't for me. I just ate lots of fruits and veggies and try to stay healthy.
Symptoms: Lots and lots of contractions at night now. Lower pelvic pain and lots of back aches. And some other symptoms of dilation that we don't have to go in to. :)
Mood: Excited, anxious, nervous, lonely... ready?
Looking forward to: Meeting the little one and having Hubs home. Last appointment I was only 1 cm dilated but 50% effaced which is pretty good progress from a 0 cm 0% effacing check up a week prior. We might be getting closer. Oh an of course ready to be back in my go-kart!!!!
Exercise: On my feet with the kiddos all day long, walking, some arm exercises and yoga twice a week still.
Nutrition: Still pretty balanced as I have been the whole time.
Favorite moments this week: Taking pictures with Hubs before he left... I look at them everyday now that he is gone.
