38 Week Belly Post

How far along: 38 Weeks

Size of the baby:  Around 19.75 inches and 6.8 lbs. About the size of a leek.

Total weight gain/loss: Total of 34lbs! I feel like 10 of those pounds are in my feet and ankles!! =(

Maternity clothes: No buying maternity cloths for this girl! I just keep making what I have work. Not too much longer before Alexander gets here and hopefully I can start buying somewhat normal cloths!

Cravings: Chick Fil-A's spicy chicken sandwich...yummmmy!!!

Symptoms: Sleeping good and feeling overall quite well for being large and in charge, EXCEPT for my feet! I think this week is my last week at work. I really wanted to push it to the very end but my feet are paying the price and Josh and I agreed its just not worth it. The swelling is not a pretty site! =( At my 37 week appointment I have remained at a fingertip dilation (0.5cm). =( So no progress for this lil one, which means we have a little while longer. This past weekend Josh and I started walking 2.5 miles after the sun sets and I have started to feel some minor contractions. I think we are going to try to do this more often in the upcoming week to try to get baby in the mood to start moving & I am sooo bringing on the SPICY FOOD! I think its obvious I am soooo READY!

Movements: Surprised he can still move the way he is with such limited space. I know he is big because when I feel him move I can feel him on opposite ends of my stomach. I am starting to wonder when he is going to get tired of the lack of room?!?

Gender: BOY!
