Pregnancy Survery- 39 Weeks Baby O #3

How far along? 39 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss:   I'm guessing like 189? Not sure...but I'm pretty swollen now. Still not as bad as it was with Gray but still...
How big is baby?  Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, about the size of a mini-watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath. - Baby Center
Maternity clothes?  Yes
Sleep:  Not good at all....especially last night when I had contractions 10 minutes apart for like 6 hours!!! Ugh!
Best moment this week:  Last week was much more low key, thank goodness and I am enjoying it. I had MOPS and we also put our Pilot up for sale and decided to buy a van (thank goodness!!)  My OB also told me at my appt. that I am 3 cm. and 40% effaced, so I'm happy about that.  Saturday night Chris and I also had a date night and went to Target, Costco and out to Osaka for dinner.  Sunday we traveled to Kzoo to check out our van, and visited Sweetwater's Donut shop on the way home.
Movement: Yep but baby is running out of room and slowing down. 
Food cravings:   Water, juice....so thirsty!
Food aversions:  Nada
Gender:  It's a surprise! 
Names:  Well we have another list going...haha.
Labor Signs:  Just a lot of contractions still.
Symptoms:  Painful contractions still. Also the bottoms of my feet hurt from being swollen...almost like the veins are popping out, it's weird. Not fun!  Also been pretty nauseous bc of the contractions.
Belly Button in or out?  Definitely out now!
Wedding rings on or off?  Still on, but stuck there until the end of the day, haha.
Stretchmarks? Yes, from before :)
How are you feeling?  Ready to meet this baby. :)
What I am looking forward to:  Going into labor for real.  Also tomorrow we have a fun day planned, if I'm still pregnant and feeling good.  In the morning we are headed to Catch Air and then going to Chris's work get together in the even at Republics.
What I miss:  Sleeping better, but that isn't going to happen for a while anyways!
Weekly Wisdom:
  Rest
Milestones:  Having contractions for so long last night, and also being 4 days away from my EDD!!!!
Pregnancy Moments with Chris and others:  Mostly just people checking in to see how I'm feeling and whatnot.

38 Week Pregnancy Survey- Baby O #3

 This is a bit late, like usual. :) 


How far along? 38 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss:   I currently weigh around 187.5 lbs!
How big is baby?  Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she is over 19 1/2 inches long (about the size of a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.- Baby Center
Maternity clothes?  For sure.
Sleep:  It's not the greatest. I'm pretty exhausted!
Best moment this week:  Going to Robinette's with Graydon's class, Trick or Treat at NML with Grandma Nancy, Halloween and the annual party at Nancy's house, getting some Fall clean up taken care of, my in laws coming over so that I could run some errands and get my teeth cleaned, finally getting my own hair done!!! Doing other people's hair too, MOPS, seeing Kerri and doing her hair. It was a pretty busy week. 
Movement: Yep but baby is running out of room and slowing down. 
Food cravings:  Halloween candy...haha
Food aversions:  Nada
Gender:  It's a surprise! 
Names:  Well we have another list going...haha.
Labor Signs:  A lot of contractions. I also had an OB appt. today and she told me that I am 3 cm. and 40% effaced.  Although she said I only measured like 36 weeks which I thought was weird.
Symptoms:  Painful contractions still, along with some shooting pains in my back and hip....baby must be hitting a nerve?  Pelvis still feels like it is splitting. Still swollen and it's worse if I'm on my feet a lot.
Belly Button in or out?  Definitely out now!
Wedding rings on or off?  Still on, but stuck there until the end of the day, haha.
Stretchmarks? Yes, from before :)
How are you feeling?  Been pretty tired lately!
What I am looking forward to: Not having to do anyone else's hair for a while.
What I miss:  Not being in pain all the time, lol.
Weekly Wisdom:
  Rest
Milestones:  Anytime now, and hearing that I am actually dilated.
Pregnancy Moments with Chris and others: People's comments always crack me up towards the end of a pregnancy. I have people telling me I look HUGE! And that I look great. ;)
