June 9-15, 2014
How far along: 38
weeks (midwife says baby can come any day now!)
Total weight gain: 42
lbs- I did not gain any weight from last week, what a nice change.
Maternity clothes:
As always yes on maternity clothes. I
can still wear a couple skirts and dress that are non-maternity but they are
stretchy. Even my maternity tops are
starting to show a little belly when worn.
Stretch marks: I
am so blessed and lucky to say no stretch marks. Amazing genes, belly butter, and coconut oil
have been my life saver on the stretch mark front. Also the pesky little spider veins I
mentioned in earlier weeks, well they are gone.
Sleep: Sleep?
Well with school ending and finally being able to focus on my pregnancy and
baby I have been waking up almost every night for a couple of hours. Let’s just say yeah for naps.
Best moments this
week: Last day of school/work, I am on summer vacation! At this weeks appointment the midwife said
she predicts that the baby will come before his due date. Which makes us so excited (and very nervous
at the same time) to see our baby boy.
We have a few friends and family members that this he will be born on
the 19th and I think it will be great is he was born on the 21st,
the first day of summer.
Miss anything: I
have indulged in a couple of big sips of Will’s soda this weekend. But there is nothing that I miss- well maybe
sleep and being able to walk faster than a tortoise.
Food cravings:
Bring on the fruit! We bought grapes,
watermelon, peaches, nectarines, and bananas from Costco and they are
delicious.
Pregnancy symptoms:
With the weather being warmer on the weekends and being outside and my every
growing belly my feet are swollen. Will
has been so kind to rub them with feels good.
According to Will I am still snoring.
My back hurts when standing or walking for long periods of time (thank
you big belly). But truly no complaints,
I am still loving being pregnant.
Gender: It’s a
boy!
Labor signs: Just
the regular BH contractions, but we are being aware of everything since our
baby can come any day.
Belly button in or
out: My belly button is out and soft.
Actually my belly is sensitive, so if I run it into anything (like a
wall corner or hanger) or someone passes by and slightly runs into it, it does
not feel good- so walking with my hand on my belly is my safety protection (and
I might even feel our babe move).
Wedding rings on or
off: Sadly I took off my wedding rings this weekend. I am more swollen and afraid if I did not
now, who knows how hard it would be when the time comes.
Happy or moody:
Very happy, I am on summer vacation, I get to finally just be home and be
pregnant.
Looking forward to: The arrival of our baby boy! My mom is coming next week and it will be
nice to have help with the already never ending laundry and dishes.
One of my students bought me a lei to celebrate the last day of school, so we had to take belly pictures wearing it.
