A little maternity update :)

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.
