38 weeks!

How far along? 38 weeks ;-) which is technically 9 ½ months!

(I have no shame anymore.... big old belly sticking out... oh well!)

How big is baby? Apparently he’s a “full-figured baby”

Development: getting bigger as we speak - lol

How huge is mama? Gained a pound so yeah, I think we hit the wall because I’ve been eating NON-STOP. I’m just always hungry lately!

Movement? He’s a big boy so I feel every little thing he does. I still love it, even when the jabs are a bit painful. I love being so connected to my little one. Lately he’s been getting more hiccups. Maybe it’s because I’m eating so much??? Who knows…

Food? Like I said, WAY too much. And starting yesterday, I began eating everything I could find on the internet that said it could induce labor. So, yesterday was pineapple and eggplant parm, and I think tonight I’ll look for a good Indian restaurant for some nice spicy curry (yum, by the way!… I love me some good Indian food) other things I saw were some herbal remedies, but I’m a little leery of those. We bought a tea that is all over the pregnancy boards that’s supposed to help tone your uterus, and we brought it to our doc appt on Tuesday, she’d never heard of it, so back to whole foods you go, tea! I don’t want to chance anything.

Belly button? Still hanging in there!

Preparations: along with eating special foods to bring out the baby, we’ve been walking a lot, I’m trying to stay on my feet as much as I can hoping that gravity will pull him out ;-) and we’re trying as much as we can that is safe to bring him out. Any suggestions are very welcome! We want to avoid a C-Section as much as possible. That’s my scariest scenario right now… Other preparations that are fun are getting things ready for baby and making things! I looked up online how to make my own moby wrap and we did it!! Very exciting. Gee wore his for a little while with a teddy bear in it. So cute.

Pregnancy symptoms? Same old. Funny though, I still feel like I’m going to miss being pregnant. I’ll never complain seriously about anything. I’m a happy preggo.

Crazy things giving me anxiety? Now I just want him to come on his own!! I REALLLLLLY hope we don’t make it to our induction date. This weekend would be ideal. But still, no predicting.

Labor Signs? The usual. Some contractions. But today I think I am the definition of nesting. I’m tearing the whole kitchen apart. I cleaned out the whole fridge and scrubbed all the shelves and I just took a break from reorganizing all of the kitchen cabinets. I’m trying to reserve my energy just in case, but it’s hard to fight this urge to organize. LOL

Milestones? I guess knowing for sure that he’ll be here within 2 weeks is a milestone!

Looking forward to next? Beck is coming in tonight to stay with us for a week. Of course, we’re all hoping I go into labor any time now. Think labor thoughts for me please!

here are the latest nursery photos, almost finished!!
