Hopefully this is my last one...!?
Week
38
· Size of baby: He now weighs 7.? pounds (like a leek) and is
more than 19 1/2 inches long.
Weight gain: 137 Monday... will I make 140?
· Symptoms experienced: Contractions.. Weird sloshy feeling when I roll over.. and hurting ribs when he moves or tries to get comfortable. At least one of us is able to. Painful cervical check. (Soft..-2 station, 15% and 1-2cm). And mucus plug leakage. Clear, and slowly in pieces. Nothingt hat makes me get my hopes up.

· How I feel: Impatient. I am ready for him even if he isn’t.
These cushy lodgings are going to expire soon bub and you’ll have to make it in
the tough real world sooner or later. Sooner. Daddy and I vote sooner.
· What I've been craving: Donuts and cereal. Chick fil a. Elmer Fudge Cookies.

· What I miss: Sleeping
longer than 3 hours before my trip to the bathroom. Which I can now do with my
eyes closed in a sort of human-bumper-car kind of way. And being able to lay
down and not feel the super heavy pull of his weight.
· Best moment: Getting his room all squared away, having our house professionally deep cleaned, and having the car detailed. I am ready. All my checklists are checked. Now it’s a waiting game.
· Items purchased: Oh man. The week of purchases. After my baby shower, I got so many things! And then went home and ordered the rest. And got more from my nanny mom. He now has an ergo, a bjorn, a swing, bouncer, changing pad, more clothes, video monitor and snuza, blankets and quilts, and burp clothes, books galore, an exersaucer, a Johnny Jumper, and so many more things. I still have to order a pump.. but luckily its 100% covered by insurance!

He has
been passing his 2x a week NSTs. Today he barely scraped by. Decided to sleep
for the first 20 minutes and then go crazy. And all the while I was having
frequent contractions that he was reacting to. The nurse said those
contractions weren’t anything (yah ok ouch) and that real labor ones are
different. Boo. I keep getting all excited with each one hoping it turns into
more. So keep up the power of positive thinking! Lets will this baby out of
here ASAP. My Dr. estimated a 7.5 lb baby and if you have seen my pictures you
will know that is not going to fit well.
