39 weeks

How far along?: 39 weeks

How big is Holden?: According to my WTE app, he is STILL approximately 19-22 inches long, weighs between 6-9 pounds & is STILL the size of a watermelon. The Bump says that he is STILL approximately 18.9-20.9 inches long, weighs 6.2-9.2 pounds & is the size of a watermelon.  Finally matching up here!! And seriously, I'm definitely feeling like there is a watermelon in my belly.

Total weight gain/loss: +40ish pounds, I think. Holy cow am I swollen. =(

Maternity clothes?: Yep & I got all of my non-mat. winter clothes out of storage. I seriously can't wait to be back in regular clothing!

Symptoms: Um...swelling, swelling, swelling! =( I definitely did not have this with Carter & it's not exciting. I should literally name my feet because they have a life of their own. And boy do they hurt lately. I definitely won't miss this part of this pregnancy. Other then that, still peeing all the time. Also, cramping & sore hips.

Stretch marks?:  Yep, still there, but I'm not ashamed & I doubt they'll stick around too long afterward since they truly aren't that bad/ugly looking.

Sleep: Definitely still tired, but it could be worse. And still no naps, but it's okay. I think C & I will just spend most of tomorrow relaxing.

Movement: All I can say is...ouch. He loves to stretch & push ALL OF THE TIME. It's insanely uncomfortable. And he's been doing a lot of weird "shuddering" lately. It feels SUPER weird.

Food cravings: Caramel Apple Spice from Starbucks, Yum! I've completely cut out coffee this week in an attempt to help my BP. We shall see if it made a difference or not at my Monday appt.

Gender: Baby boy

Names: Holden Thomas (Brother)

Labor Signs:1.5cm dilated, 40% effaced, cramping/Braxton Hicks & baby dropping.

Belly Button in or out?: Still an innie, but starting to look pretty funny. It has this weird little lip at the top that sticks out now. It may go flat, but I'm definitely thinking it's not going to pop out at this point.

What I miss: Just feeling comfortable & not huge in general. I'm not feeling anxious about him arriving, but I will be happy when he does because then I can have a break from the discomforts of being pregnant. Oh & also shoes that fit!! My poor feet, I can't wait to be able to wear all of my cute fall boots again.

What I am looking forward to: Date night with the hubby tonight. It will likely be the last time we have a fun outing alone before Holden arrives so I plan to enjoy it to the fullest.

Best Moment this Week: No more work!! I can't believe I am officially a SAHM now. =) I don't think it's fully set in yet.

Milestones this week: Starting maternity leave aka officially becoming a SAHM! It definitely has not set in yet that I am never going back. So weird!
