How Far Along: 38 weeks
Total Weight Gain: Somewhere around 30+ lbs. or so.
Gender: Girl!
Movement: ALL. THE. TIME. She is constantly moving and reminding me that she is still there and running out of room FAST. She has been more active these past few weeks than I can ever remember. She gets the hiccups at least twice a day. You can see my belly move when she has the hiccups, on my left side I can feel limbs of some sort poking out, and I can feel her but on my right side when she moves. This is the craziest thing in the world, so weird.
Food Craving: Sweets. Since the showers in February I have consumed at least 3.5 boxes of thin mints just to myself. I know I should be ashamed but they are sooo good and I cannot say no to them. The bad thing is, I would have done the same thing even if I wasn't pregnant...
Favorite moments: The nursery is DONE! Scott hung up the light we got for her room, with wiring help from dad. I painted the letters for her name and hung them up. I did the final shopping trip to get some little things that we still needed. The sheet is on the crib, changing cover on the changing pad, diapers and wipes stocked, clothes are washed, car seat installed, my bag is packed (along with her stuff), Scott still needs to pack his but that is a little easier than mine, diaper bag is almost stuffed with things. The only thing left to do is hang the curtains aunt Theresa made. I will get pictures up when she arrives because her name is up.
Sleep: Very sporadic. I have to consciously make myself go to the bathroom in the middle of the night so I can move in the morning. I toss and turn every two hours or so, either because I am too warm or my hips are hurting because of the pressure on them. I figured out how to get rid of the back pain while sleeping so it is a but night besides the tossing and turning.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting our sweet precious girl. Scott holding her for the first time. I am a little nervous for the labor and delivery but I try not to think about it, because I am almost to the point of wanting her out of me because I am so uncomfortable. It is starting to be very tiring to do everything here at work. I want to take a nap all the time.
