39 weeks and 3 days in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle Love:
Baby is the size of a watermelon. Coming down to the wire, your baby weighs around seven to eight pounds and measures 19 to 21 inches. Those measurements won't change much from now on, but her brain is still growing at an astonishing rate, a pace that will continue for the first three years of life. Her pink skin has now turned whitish (even babies who'll eventually have darker skin appear whitish now — they haven't yet developed pigment). Her head may have dropped into your pelvis by now, which makes your breathing easier but walking harder.

My Symptoms: Braxton Hicks (some extremely uncomfortable, some just feels like the tightening of the uterus), acid reflux, fatigue, trouble sleeping/restlessness, waddling around and feeling overall uncomfortable and big.
Maternity clothes? Whenever I go out, I wear yoga pants and a maternity shirt now. I just want to go back to fitting into regular clothes :(
Sleep? I've gotten used to switching positions every 1 to 2 hours because of my hips and legs hurting. I'm trying to get as much sleep as I can before bby arrives.
Best moment last week? This past weekend, my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew came into town to help us get ready for when baby arrives (preparing postpartum meals, getting some necessities for after baby gets here). Not only this, but they also treated us to a night in Saint Louis. We were very well taken care of and it was so nice of them to come out and help me prepare for the big day.
Movement? I think she is getting to be squished a bit so movement isn't like it was a few weeks ago, but she is still moving a lot and I it hurts lol
Weight Gain: SO not cool! I gained 5 pounds in the span of 5 days... so so so mad!!! 180 lbs.
Cravings: None... although one night the contractions were really bad so we went to Sonic and we got a double cheeseburger for me... after that, the contractions just had that tightening feeling, so maybe that was a craving.
What made me cry this week: Anxiety... and lack of sleep one time.
Medical Stuff: Everything seems good... even the crazy weight gain. I'm stll not thrilled about that.
Something I am excited about: BABY!!! Come on already!!
Something I am anxious about: I am anxious about our apartment suddenly housing spiders and cockroaches/beetles. I guess it is starting to warm up outside and they need a place to cool down, but I clean so much that this should not be an issue. It's time to get the apartment sprayed. I'm also anxious about the chance of having to be induced. I want to go into labor naturally! Oh, and that's another thing, I'm scared about how uncomfortable it will be. It's getting so real now. This is happening soon. I will have a baby in less than 2 weeks. Scary.
