How big is baby?: Approximately the size of a Jackfruit, between 18.9-20.9 inches in length & weighing between 6.2-9.2 lbs. Or just HUGE...ya know.
Total weight gain/loss: +26 pounds. Not bad or unhappy with that at all. Hopefully most of it will come off quickly with nursing. =)
Maternity clothes?: Mostly wearing maternity shirts now for length (and even those are getting short!) & I need the Bella band all of the time now, but still wearing my regular jeans. But seriously? If I could just wear PJ pants every day from this point on...I would. I have one pair of leggings & I swear I will live in them as much as possible until she decides to show her pretty face.
Symptoms: Heartburn, some back, hip & belly pain here & there. Definitely been having some contractions here & there with cramping, but nothing really consistent Still super exhausted, but thankfully the insomnia is not as bad this week. Still dealing with some SOB & just feeling big & uncomfortable. Did I mention anxious to have a baby?
Stretch marks?: I may have new ones, but it's honestly hard to tell what's new & just what's more prevalent at this point. Either way, they aren't terrible & I know they'll fade so NBD.
Sleep: I'm tired. ALL THE TIME. This is probably the story of my life from now until FOREVER. At least the insomnia hasn't been as bad this week. Just trying to get as much rest as I can before baby girl arrives.--This is still true...what else can I do?
Movement: She has finally dropped a little bit so it's not as bad, but she's still having dance parties in there. I try to talk her into coming out with promises of more room, but she's comfy apparently.
Food cravings: I don't have as many aversions, but still lack of appetite. My stomach fills quickly with small amounts of food & nothing sounds particularly great still. Not really sure at what point this is going to change, but whatever...I'm used to it at this point.
Gender: Sweet baby girl. <3
Labor Signs: Oh still nada...my Friday appt was boring. Blood pressure? Good. Urine? Good. Baby's Heartrate: Good. She's still head-down (duh!) Fluid levels: Still good. And basically...I have another appt next Friday with no intervention in-between.
Belly Button in or out?: In & I'll be surprised if it doesn't stay that way. I have yet to ever "pop" with any pregnancy. It's starting to get flatter & sometimes it looks completely flat, other times it still looks slightly in.
What I miss: Good sleep & being able to sit, bend, get up with ease/comfortably. My belly with this girl isn't even that big compared to with H, but I won't miss this stage of pregnancy when it's done.
What I am looking forward to: Having a baby? lol Yeah, I think I get to say that at this point.--Yes, still this!! COME ON, MADELINE!!
