Waist measurement: 48.0 inches, he dropped a little on Saturday
Total weight gain/loss: up 18 lbs. 213 lbs.
How much does Baby weigh?: 6 lbs 3 oz as of Friday! We have a BIG boy on the way
Maternity clothes? but of course!
Stretch marks? They are there. Growing and turning bright red-ish/purple on me.
Sleep: sleep is getting harder and harder now, but that's to be expected when you can't flip over easily. Getting up to pee 2-3 times a night makes long stretches of sleep kinda hard too...
Best moment this week: When we went to our drs appt this week, we allowed both ILs to come in and see the baby. This was the first time FIL had seen an u/s in action and Adam tells me he was grinning from ear to ear. That was great. Along with the facts that Anthony has a head that is in the 89th percentile (measuring 38w) and several longer bones measuring 1-2 weeks ahead. Over all, he's measuring in the 67th percentile. God be with me when it comes time to deliver. We also had the family shower today (Sunday) and took lots of photos and got lots of great gifts. Photos to follow later on when I'm feeling a little better. Right now I'm a bit overwhelmed with all that should be going on in the coming weeks, but will do my best to get it all on here.
Movement: still very active.
Food cravings: cereal, milk, cheetos, orange soda, and some salty snacks.
Gender: I was right! Its a BOY!
Labor Signs: still just the BH contractions. Nothing to get excited about.
Belly Button in or out?: in, but barely. its so goofy looking now
What I miss: breathing deeply and shaving my legs. UGH I hate not being able to daily anymore!
What I am looking forward to: the next appointment. I get to find out if I'm starting to dilate and prep for him to be born. On top of that, I have some testing to do and then after that, its weekly appointments. SO CLOSE! And on November 4th I have my work shower. Shall be fun! We are also going to buy some plaster to make a mold of the belly. I can't wait to see how that turns out. I can't believe this journey is so close to be over!
From parents.com
Exactly how would you like your child to enter the world? An increasing number of parents-to-be are creating birth plans. These documents may include everything from medical preferences to environmental concerns (low lighting, soft music, and so on) during labor, delivery, and postpartum. Try to keep the plan to one page or less--busy caregivers may not have time to read it otherwise--and give copies to your doctor or midwife and to hospital or birthing center staff as well. Keep in mind, however, that medical necessity may derail some of your preferences.
