38 Weeks
 |
| I'm enormous and I hate this picture. |
TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: As of my doctor appointment yesterday, I am the same as last week - 28 pounds. Stay under 30, stay under 30..... I'm dreamin', huh?
MATERNITY CLOTHES: Yes indeed. And they're SNUG. I'm huge.
STRETCH MARKS?: Jiggle wiggle. Cottage cheese. I don't mind it right now, because I know it's going bye-bye soon. :)
SLEEP?: My answer will likely not change for years. ;) Not sleeping.
BEST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: My husband and I had an AMAZING week. We had a date - man I love those. On Wednesday, I was surprised at work with a fabulous baby shower. It was completely unexpected, and so lovely. I have only been working for LBMC for about 2-ish months, and about 30 incredible ladies showed up, showered us with gifts, fed me cake and delicious punch, and gave me wonderful advice. I had such a wonderful time. My husband even kept it a secret and was in on it! Sneaky sneaky. Thursday night we went to the Titans / Cardinals preseason game, and had a lot of fun...it was a late night though and I paid for it on Friday, that's for sure. The weekend was great - we got a lot done, went to a birthday party, and Eric had 2 softball games! I also had my 38 week check up on Monday - and saw a new doctor, Dr. Ellington. She was FABULOUS too (geesh I love Women's Group of Franklin) and was so sweet. She said that Cooper is in place and ready to go...so it could be tonight, or it could be 2 weeks from now. Who knows!! :) She did feel his head though, which I thought was freaking awesome. She said that I could pick a date for week 39 and induce since I'm "ready" - I won't go into gory details... I said I would like one more appointment and then if he is still not here, we can select a date in my 40th week. She said that was fine, but didn't recommend this baby going over 40-41 weeks - he's already big enough and ready. Oh YESSSSSSSS....come on COOPER!
WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?: Not that it's a big deal, but some girl who was a checker at Publix saw me sitting on a bench, waiting for Eric to check out. She was at least 10 feet away from me, and had about 2-3 lines inbetween us. She said extremely loudly for all to hear, "Wow, you're BIG! When are you due?" Everyone in line all of a sudden had their eyes on the big, fat, pregnant lady. I replied softly and calmly that I was due in 2 weeks. She kept going. Fabulous. She said, "Two weeks still, wow. Is there just one in there?" To which I said yes. She kept going, asking the sex, and yadah yadah. It was brutal, and loud, and I was mortified, and even Eric was shaking his head like...Wow, you're a moron. Truthfully, I'm not for reals upset about it, I just can't believe some people are THAT insensitive and stupid.
MISS ANYTHING?: Well, I want to be a normal human being again, we know this. But other than that, I am doing all right. I do miss being active, and surprisingly I miss eating healthy...I suppose I could do something about that...Hmm.... ; )
MOVEMENT?: A lot this week - just jabs and pokes, but he's moving. Perhaps he's packing his bags, getting ready to go? (Wishful thinking, eh?)
FOOD CRAVINGS?: Not "craving" anything perse...but I eat a lot. Ha.
ANYTHING MAKING ME QUEASY / SICK?: Same as last week, just the heartburn.
LABOR SIGNS?: Not that have me timing contrations. Just waiting for a clear sign.
SYMPTOMS / MOODS?: I am happy, but I am uncomfortable. I have back pain, pelvic pain, I waddle...not much has changed, it's just gotten worse. But I am still anxious and overly excited. My feet swelled a bunch this past week, too. It was highly entertaining. ;)

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On. How? I don't know.
LOOKING FORWARD TO...?: Meeting Cooper. It's almost time - C'mon baby boy, it's up to you now.
