How far along? 39 weeks and 1 day. 

Total weight gain: 34 pounds. I don’t know what the heck happened, I hadn’t been gaining any weight then at my last appointment I gained 5 pounds!! Don’t know where that came from, but praying it wasn’t a huge growth spurt of hers. 

Maternity clothes? Still managing to get away with what I have.

Stretch Marks? No new ones.

Sleep: Sleep in a nightmare to say the least, I literally dread bedtime. I can’t ever get comfortable, I am so incredibly painfully sore, and I have to use the restroom a million times a night. Getting up to go to the bathroom is the worst, I feel like I’m 90+ years old with the way I move.

Best moment this week? Anya came to visit us this weekend; it was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed having her here, especially Brody; he is already asking when she is coming back!

Miss anything? I miss comfort, and being able to do normal things like just walk around without getting sore and warn out.

Movement: yes, but I can tell there’s no room at all left in there because she just pushes around, she cant actually move much at all. I feel so much pressure of my pelvic bones when she moves around, it’s like she’s pushing so hard on them. She still loves my left side too; I swear it always looks more pushed out then the right side.  

Food cravings: Pop like always. I have also been craving anything sweet, nothing in particular just something sweet.  

Food aversions: Nothing really.

Boy or girl: Girl :)

Labor signs: Even more contractions then before, still not consistent enough though. I’m beginning to wonder if this is ever going to happen!

Symptoms: Still the same list as always, but my acid reflex and heartburn have become worse. Every night before bed I take my prenatal vitamin and acid reducer medicine, but lately I have had to take my acid reducer pill during the day it’s so bad. Sometimes I even feel it in the morning, so it’s been a lot worse then it used to be. Also the acid reflex is out of control; I have had quiet a bit coming up at night (sorry nasty).

 

Belly Button in or out? Still out.  

Wedding ring on or off? Off.

Looking forward to: Having our baby girl!!

Fun facts: We had our very last doctor’s appointment on Thursday. I was checked as always and was dilated to a 3 1/2, still no real signs on labor though :( but at least I’m making progress. We also set our induction date for the 21^st, my due date, although I’m really hoping she comes earlier on her own. Throughout this pregnancy I really really wanted to go into labor naturally, being that I was induced with Brody I have never been able to experience this. So this time around I really wanted to. If we wanted to I could have been induced yesterday but we choose not to go that route, we wanted to at least give her a chance to come on her own. We do not want to have a Christmas baby though, we don’t want to curse our poor daughter with a birthday any closer to Christmas then the 21^st. So like I said we went ahead and set the induction date for my due date, I will just have to wait for our next child to go into labor naturally. Another fun fact, I am so incredibly hot all of the time. It is the middle of December and I kid you not I turn the air conditioner on whenever I can get away with it!! I have only turned the heat on once and that’s because I felt bad for Brody (I knew it must have been kind of cold to normal not pregnant people). Also a not so fun fact, I have no in all seriousness been asked twice if I am having twins, both happened to be women. Let’s just say I was not so thrilled by these questions, and I’m pretty sure it showed. What I don’t get is why women would ask that, isn’t that an off limits question, shouldn’t they know better. When they are pregnant I hope someone asks them that same questions, then we will see how well they like it. Anyways we are beyond excited to have our little girl in 6 days, if not less!!

 

 

I feel like my stomach cannot stretch our anymore, that there is no more room at all. It feels like its going to rip!!
