How far along: 39.5 weeks. I don't usually post twice a week but this could be one of the last bumpdates, so I thought I'd throw it in.
Baby's size: Just right. I have to say, I don't feel horribly huge, or uncomfortable. I just feel like a mom. With a cozy healthy baby inside me. I'm trying not to get my hopes up for a due date delivery. If I were feeling miserable I'm sure it would be a different story.
Sleep: Sleeping is fine. I wake up at least every two hours but I feel like its training me for the real deal.
Food cravings: Small amounts of warm delicious comfort foods.
Symptoms I have: At this point I need a little push to get out of the car or up from the couch, but I wouldn't call that a symptom.
Doctor’s Appointment: We have an appointment on Tuesday to be checked. I have to admit, we had our first little middle of the night scare last Thursday. Everything turned out to be perfectly fine, and we got to do a trial run to visit the labor and delivery wing of the hospital while we were at it. I woke up in the middle of the night and wasn't feeling any movement from the baby. I figured it would be better to be safe than sorry and called the advice nurse. They had us come in for some monitoring and an ultrasound at about 1 AM. Wouldn't you know it. Baby boy started kicking up a storm as soon as we rolled into the hospital parking lot. What a little jokester. We left with a healthy report and were able to get a good nights sleep!
Movement: Movement is changing daily as he runs out of room. But still pretty active during certain parts of the day and night.
Gender: Boys will be boys.
What I’m looking forward to: Having family visit. It is going to be so fun to have both grandmas and grandpas in town for a while. :)
What I miss: Being more physically active. I have really been trying to walk each day, but just a couple of blocks and I'm spent.
