Baby is: Dr. told me last night he thinks she is 7 lbs.
Movement: Mostly at night. She is obviously nocturnal like her daddy.
Total weight gain/loss: I've gained 41 lbs...WOW that is a big number.
Stretch marks: None yet and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they do not appear in the next 2 weeks.
Sleep: When I am asleep, it's deeply. I have been very tired early each night this week and sleep soundly the first few hours. Typically I wake up and have a hard time falling back asleep. But once I do, I am asleep until my alarm goes off in the morning.
Favorite moment this week: Going to the doctor's last night and hearing I have continued to progress. I am now 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. He has agreed to induce me at 39 weeks if she does not decide to come sooner. He thinks I could be one of the cases that goes full term and still needs drugs to jump start labor. I am sooo happy he isn't making me wait until after my due date to induce b/c I am ready NOW.
Symptoms: Heart burn here and there. Sore heels from the extra weight. Swollen feet/ankles. But overall pretty good.
Looking forward to: Meeting Olivia and seeing what she looks like. I have this gut feeling she will be a little clone of my husband. Will she have lots of hair or no hair? My mother told me it's an old wives tale that heart burn meant your baby had a full head of hair. We shall see soon.
Currently craving: Still enjoying my fudgsicles. Seems like I am craving sweets more now than ever...especially chocolate.
Now that's a big belly! |
