Week Thirty Eight!

Weekly update!

How far along?: 38 weeks, 2 days!!!

Weight gain/loss: again not positive of the exact starting number anymore but I think it's around 13 or 14 lbs now. And while the overall weight total isn't all that high, I feel/look enormous!!

Symptoms: just more of the same but with even less energy :)

Gender: will know in hopefully less than 12 days :)

Sleep?: not enough but partially my fault since Mike and I don't go to bed early enough

Best moment this week?: Monday - we had our ultrasound and while we couldn't see much (no room!), it was still an opportunity to see the baby and hear roughly how much the lil one weighs (8lbs 5oz, give or take a pound either way, although with how big Colin was being 12 days early, the Dr thinks it's probably about accurate). Also since my mom was already over watching Colin, she helped do a bunch of cleaning around the house which we are extremely grateful for.

Movement: Slowing down a little but I think it's due to space issues

Food cravings/aversions: Slurpees! Darn Tara for telling me that Speedway has them on sale for .89 this month!

What I miss?: Having energy!! I feel more tired now than I remember feeling in my first trimester.

What I am looking forward to?: The obvious - meeting our baby!!! The not-quite-as-obvious: Only 3 more scheduled work days!!!

Size of Baby: "Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek)." but as mentioned earlier, this one is already hitting the tops of the charts (80%) weighing in roughly 8lb 5oz.

What I’m nervous about: same as last week - the logistics of having a baby with a child already here.
