38 Weeks!

How big is the baby this week: Emersyn is the size of a pumpkin!

Due Date: May 8, 2012, but I'm hoping she comes a little early:)

Weight Gain: Up 1 lbs this week. Running total: 26 lbs. 


Symptoms: The belly is BIG- I get a lot of "wow"s.  Lovely Braxton Hicks contractions, weird nerve pains in my hips, strange dreams, swollen feet, heartburn and backaches.  Yup, I'm definitely pregnant.

Cravings: Milk and sweets. 

Aversions: Towards the end of the day I'm not usually as hungry, which manifests itself into nothing sounds good.

Sleep: Waking up to use the bathroom, or to adjust myself into more of a sitting position if I start to slide.  Other than that, pretty ok for sleeping on the couch

I am loving: That our house is so clean (Gus is staying with my in laws while we try to sell our house).

I miss: Sleeping in my bed. Not hurting.  Red wine.

I am looking forward to: Dr appointment tomorrow to see if we have any progress.

I'm spazzing about: Just really wanting to know when she'll arrive!

Best thing about this week: Friday was my last day at work, I am now on leave until my vacation and personal days run out (in June) then I'm officially a stay at home mama!

Milestones: Lost my mucus plug on Sunday.

Movement: She still moves quite a bit, seems to really love that sore spot on the top of my belly (ouch).

It's a...: Girl!!! Emersyn Grace:)
