Oh my gosh, I can't believe I am at 39 weeks today! It's been crazy!
I am 100% prepared for Owen here at home (well, as prepared as I will ever be), but still have a few things to finish up at work.
Was a little frustrated this last week at my doctor's appointment. About a month ago, the doctor had said because of his size, she would probably be inducing at 39 weeks (today), and would definitely not let me go over my due date. Well, tune has completely changed. Obviously no baby today, but now it's 'If you make it through the holiday weekend, we'll talk about picking a date'...le sigh. This is partially my body's fault. I didn't have any changes for a couple of weeks and then just this last week, I have finally done some effacing. The most frustrating part however is the contractions that keep me up all night, to only have nothing happen during the day. Been hurting all around these last few days and I know Andy has been saying how ready he is lately too (poor guy).
Well, onto the survey that hasn't been completed for a while.
Weekly Survey ~ 39 weeks
How far along: 39 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: As of Thursday's doctor appointment, I have gained 10 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: My warddrobe has become significantly limited.
Stretch Marks: Hahahahahaha...my belly looks like a road map.
Sleep: I get a good 2-3 hours when I first go to bed, then it's roll over, contraction...get up to pee, lay back down, contraction. So, shotty at best.
Best moment this week: I don't know if I have a specific moment this week. Andy has been so wonderful lately and cute. He had bumped into my stomach while we were puttering in the kitchen, so he put his hands on my belly and said, 'Sorry Owen. You know, you can come out now. I'm pretty sure you'll like us okay...*long pause*...I'll give you a cookie.' He's already got the wonderful skill of bribery down.
Movement: Getting kicked alllll the time. He likes to stick his butt out to the right and kick, kick, kick on my left, near my ribs.
Food Cravings: Parilla Grill (Hyde Park) Shrimp Mama Mia Wrap. I have had this about 7 times in the last two weeks...yummy!
Gender: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: Contractions would be the only indicator, but I've been having those for a couple months now. They have increase significantly in quantity, duration and intensity though, but still nothing consistent. He is still pretty high as well.
Belly Button in or out: I don't know if you could call what I have a belly button at this point. It's more of a streteched out slit.
What I miss: Margaritas and sushi (the good stuff).
What I am looking forward to: Being able to hold him in my arms. =D
Milestones: I have hit that miserable phase everyone was always telling me about. I think I liked it better when I could still pop up off the couch.
Weekly Wisdom: I got nothing, I think it's too late.
Pictures: I took another picture for all to see.
