38 Week Bump Update

How far along: 38 weeks
Gender: Girl
Weight gain: 44 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Wearing leggings, maternity tops and mostly my husbands sweatshirts.
Sleep: Sleep is still pretty good.  I sleep soundly the first 3-5 hours, then awake for 1-2 hours & sleep again until morning.
Symptoms: This past week I started having pain in my fingers at night that feel swollen stiff.  I asked my Dr. about it and he said its carpal tunnel related to pregnancy.  Luckily it should go away gradually after giving birth.
Worst moment: Going to my appointment on Monday with the hopes of being scheduled for an induction and being told to come back again next week for another check.  When the Dr. said I could be induced at 39 weeks, I took it as if it would happen immediately when I hit that date.  On top of it all, I haven't progressed any since my last appointment.  Still holding to 4cm dilated and 80% effaced.
Miss anything: Pants that fit.
Movement: She is moving less but still very healthy.  I went for non-stress test Monday night after mistakenly mentioning she wasn't moving much the night before unless being poked by my husband.  However, the test showed she is doing great.  I guess she has run out of room b/c I don't experience the limbs moving across my belly anymore that I had become accustom to feeling.
Cravings: Still apple juice,  I had a glass of champagne last weekend and it was delicious & SWEETS.
Looking forward to: The hubby and I have date night plans on Sunday for Restaurant Week.  Would be nice to get one last night together just the two of us, but at the same time I wouldn't mind if Liv decides to make her grand appearance beforehand.
I have to really lean over these days to see my feet.
