39 weeks

 

 

 

how far along? 39 weeks 1 day

how are you measuring?  40 weeks

size of baby? According to Baby Center our baby is 20 inches long, a bit over 7 pounds, and the weight of a small watermelon...according to ultrasound estimates he's probably close to 9 lbs now

heartbeat? 143 bpm (at our 38 week appointment)

total weight gain/loss? + 48 lbs 

maternity clothes? Maternity clothes all the time.
sleep? Each night is different.  Overall, I'm still getting at least 6 hours of sleep when you combine it all but some nights are better than others.  I will find a certain way to get comfortable with my pillows one night, and that won't work the next night.  I have to find a different way each night.  I am waking up probably 3-4 times a night and sometimes I go right back to sleep and other times, I'm up for an hour before I go back to sleep.

best moment this week? Just enjoying these last weeks that I have! Caught up with a lot of friends this week for lunch again and had a date with my hubby tonight.

movement? He's pushing on me a lot! I can feel him press really hard and it just started hurting pretty good the past couple of days. 

food cravings? I still want quiche often.  Had it twice this week!

gender predictions? It's still a boy!

what i miss: I really miss being able to get up easily.  It's so hard to get up from a laying down position or even just a sitting position sometimes.  Or being able to just run into a store....it takes awhile to park, get in, get what I need and get out.

what i'm looking forward to:  Looking forward to seeing what this week will bring!

how are you feeling? I'm feeling ok.  It's starting to get pretty hot out there! We had triple digit temps today.  I am walking a lot slower than usual and feel very heavy and sore a lot.  Just glad it's not too much longer!
