Forgive the pajamas and no smiling..still paranoid about my Bell's palsy and it's about 5 hours before I turn 39 weeks. Wanted to get it in before it was too late!
How far along? 38 WEEKS! Baby month!
Stretch marks? Still nothing on belly! WOOO!
Sleep: I toss and turn a lot of the night because I get restless hips. It's hard for me to get comfortable and when I do, I feel like that's when I have to get up to pee!
Best moment this week? GETTING MY CAST OFF! Oh, and setting Everleigh's birthday! :) I had weekly appointment on Tuesday and the doc checked me...still not dilated. Doc left it up to Ryan and I as to whether if I were to be induced next week (39 weeks) or risk waiting longer and just hoping I can birth a huge head. I was undecided for a couple of days, but after I pushed up my ortho appointment for my arm follow up and the surgeon told me that I could get my cast off, I decided to move forward with the induction! Being induced scares me, but a 97th percentile head scares me more. Another great moment this week? Ryan coming home from work one day with the sweetest card EVER and Pandora charms. He got me a MOM charm and a mama and baby penguin charm. :) He did it because it's been a rough couple of months and wanted to remind me he loved me and wished he could do more to fix things. I've said this before, but I found a keeper. I love that he does things like that...they mean the world to me.
Miss anything? Ribs hurt, back hurts, I feel so much pressure between my legs, I get hot flashes, I'm constantly thirsty, even my maternity clothes hardly fit anymore and my Bell's palsy hasn't gone away yet. So yes, I miss feeling like a normal human being again!
Movement? She has run out of room in there. I feel her hands moving a lot and she definitely rolls and kicks! Baby girl is most active from about 8-10 at night for whatever reason.
Food Cravings? Chocolate milk and cereal! The past couple of mornings, the first thing I do is go downstairs to pour a huge glass of milk and chug it. I guess my body is screaming for calcium trying to heal my broken bones and fatten up the baby!
Anything making you queasy or sick? The thought of being induced and not knowing how the birth is going to go definitely gives me some anxiety, but nothing sick or queasy. Just excited to meet her so soon!
Labor signs? Definitely having more contractions but nothing that hurts. I think she's dropped more but that's about it. My mother in law came up this week and she's being doing pressure points on me to try and help jump start labor!
Happy or moody most of the time? Hit or miss...depends on the hour ;)
Looking forward to? Her big day! I've pictured in my mind for so long now what she's going to look like and what her personality will be like. I'm going to be so in love when we can finally meet face to face! I'm also pretty sure Ryan is going to be about 1000 times sexier after I see him hold her for the first time. <3 p="">
