Week #38-38 week appt/Baby pool

Week #38

Baby is Size of: Pumpkin

Fun Fact: She may have about an inch or so of hair :)

Weight this week:174.2

Change since last week:+1.2

Weight gain overall: 27.2 lbs-I think I'm right on track to gain 30 pounds. 

Symptoms: continued stiffness in thighs and hips-it's getting worse!, 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!

Cravings: None.

38 Week Appointment-Dr. Jaglan-12:00-Friday, November 8

We did the usual, blood pressure/weight/belly measuring. My belly is measuring perfect with the week I'm on-38 inches. So, for people who have said I'm "too big or too small," I am right on track! Blood pressure still good as 103/56. I'm nervous about that going up, but since it hasn't been high but more low this whole pregnancy, very unlikely that will change. He also checked me to see if I was dilated at all. He said I may be thinning a little and still soft but no dilation. I have a gut feeling this little girl is going to take her sweet time! We'll see! My next OB appointment is next Friday, November 15 at 2:15pm. It's with a new female doctor in the practice. Let's hope SOMETHING is happening! I also have a hematologist appointment Wednesday, November 13 to retest platelets, fingers crossed I'm still good. 

Baby Pool!

Dan started a baby pool! We have 22 people in it for $3.00 each so $66.00 is at stake! G'pa Kater has me going as early as November 15 and Nick Denny has me going as late at November 30, We'll see! It's neat, you guess the date/length/eye color/hair color and it computes it. Whoever has the least amount of points, wins the pool!

Baby thoughts- I have a three day weekend. Goal is to pretty much finish the nursery and put everything a way. Also, I want to order everything we need yet.  Then we'll just have the decor in the nursery to worry about. We have a lot of odds and ends too to finish up. We plan on getting a lot done. Let the nesting begin! I only wish we would have done a lot of this stuff 2 months ago! My energy isn't what it used to be :). Pictures will be posted next week of what's accomplished this next week!

I cannot believe she'll be here so soon! Lots to do this week! On to Week #39 :)
