Week #39
Baby is Size of: Watermelon!
Fun Fact: Her nails may extend past his fingertips.
Weight this week:176.8-Work had a baby shower for me yesterday, I splurged a little!-for what it's worth, I was 174.8 2 days ago when I happened to step on the scale. My new paranoia is going into labor on a really full stomach, I feel like that would be so uncomfortable! So, I am going to watch it this next week.
Change since last week +2.4
Weight gain overall: 29.8
Symptoms: continued stiffness in thighs and hips, some acid reflux, difficulty breathing at times, get full faster-not as hungry, still lots of movement from baby, however, not as many kicks-more movement, I'm almost to the point of "done being pregnant, but not quite there, oh and restless legs when I'm trying to get to sleep at night-Every. Single. Night. so annoying! Lots of branxton hicks contractions this past week. I also almost have an outie belly button! BUT-no stretch marks still :)
Cravings: None.
Hematologist appt, Dr. Pierce-Wednesday, November 13-3:45
I was nervous again about this one. This was the quickest appointment yet. We got in, they took my blood work and had the results quickly. It was at 101! So, I don't have to go back and I should be good to go for delivery :). She wants me to follow up with her a few months after the baby is born. I really liked her, she gave me a big hug and wished me luck.
39 Week Appointment-Dr Raul, Friday, November 15 2:15
We did the usual, blood pressure/weight/belly measuring. It was my first appointment with the new Dr. in the practice, Dr. Raul. She was nice, but I have to say, I am just partial to Dr. Hayes and Dr. Jaglan. They are both males and both my favorite! So, cervix hasn't moved at all, still only a fingertip dilated. She offered to sweep my membranes and stretch out my cervix which may encourage labor. She said she was 4/4 in the last week with people going into labor after she did it, I said "maybe next week." I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm only 39 weeks, not full term. I may consider it next week, we'll see. It was probably my fastest appointment. I see the same doctor next week, Jaglan and Hayes were all booked. If I go past 40 weeks, I start going two times a week. They said they would not let me go past 42 weeks. Man I hope she comes before then and stays a November baby!
Baby thoughts- Man did we get a lot done this week! Lots of cleaning and lots of baby prep. See pictures below. All that is really left is to decorate and get a lot of cleaning done and other odds and ends. It feels good to not feel as overwhelmed as I did the last two weeks. We have been working hard to get a lot done! I am anxious to get decor in the room to finish it off.
Dan put together the chair, I wanted it by the window so I could look out as I was rocking/feeding her
We still need to get the mattress
I'm glad we have a big closet! I didn't realize how much clothes she had
36 Weeks 39 Weeks
Due date in 1 week???!!! EEEkK! Let's hope she is here around that time :)
