How far along: 38 weeks and 6 days
Gender: It’s a she dragon (giving me heartburn daily!)
Weight Gain: +32 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Yes, but I have a storage box in my room in hopes that I can start slowly putting them away soon.
Stretch Marks: More and more every day. They are all below my belly button though (with the exception of the freaky one I have where my belly button used to be pierced…)
Belly button in our out: Still an inny. It has no chance of popping out. I think I said this before: I have an abnormally deep belly button.
Sleep: Going to sleep is hard because she is always in a very uncomfortable position at that time of night and I can’t get comfortable. By the time Dave gets up to go to work, I have gone to the bathroom 3-4 times and she has snuggled into a comfortable position so the last hour or two of sleep is good.
Best moment of the week: Officially unpacked! Just a few minor organization projects left (like our closet and baby’s closet for the 7th time!) Also, my mom, stepdad, brother, sis-in-law, and grandparents came over and helped us put together baby things things and make 40 freezer meals.
Miss Anything: I have never been one to sleep on my belly, but lately I have been having the urge to – probably because I can’t. I do miss being able to run and belly flop onto the bed after a nice hot shower though.
Movement: She has only had the hiccups a few times in the past week and her movement has slowed down, but when she is moving I can definitely feel how strong she is. I wouldn’t be surprised if she could leg press more than me in her first week of life. She is also growing into a giant so her movement isn’t as cute as it used to be.
Cravings: PB and nanner shakes! Davey makes them for us all the time. They really get her moving…she may be an addict.
Symptoms: Just the never ending heartburn. I hate taking medicine but have graduated myself from tums to the good stuff which works just okay.
Looking forward to: Seeing what this whole labor thing is about and if I will be able to do it.
So you don't know me..... hahah (so creepy) but David is friends with Steven Gabrielsen and I am his wife... anyways I read your blog and I just had to write on here telling you how funny you are. I enjoy reading these. I'm excited for your family! We have a 10 month old baby girl and it's the best thing in the world; being a mom. Can't wait to see pictures-the end is so hard but your almost done and then you will soon forget what it feels like to be that big.
