STATS: 38 Weeks


How Far Along?  38 Weeks 

How Big Is Baby? The size of a Watermellon 

Total Weight Gain?  Total Weight 182 this week. I obviously can not do math. I have gained 22 lbs total. 

Sleep? Awful, contractions most of the night only to be woken up by Carson early in the morning

Best Moment of the week? Taking Carson to the water park on friday and actually having people get out of the hot tub because obviously I'm gonna birth a baby RIGHT FUCKING NOW

Food Cravings? Sweets! 

Food Aversions? No real food aversions. Luckily no more heartburn

Symptoms of Labor? Off and on Contractions 7 minutes apart. When I got checked at my 37 week appointment, I was a soft 3 cm dilated and 70% effaced. 

What I'm looking forward to? Just having my baby. I am so ready to just be a family of four. All the nerves I'm feeling about bringing a new baby into our home I know will vanish once he's actually here. But I'm ready. Chris is ready. Carson is ready to have a baby in the house. 

What I miss?  Sleep. Funny enough I know for a fact I won't be sleeping when Ollie first arrives, and probably not for a while after that. But caring for a newborn is so much more rewarding than getting up 5 times a night to pee and contracting constantly all night. 

Exercise? Yoga, Squats, lunges and walking, sex....lots of sex. Ha

  1. How soon will you post so we know you had the baby? I'm only 17 weeks, so its fun to read about someone close to the end.

  2. Hey Laura, thanks for following. If you want a more up to date recap of whats going on Follow me on FB. I will probably update as soon as we're home. He "should" be here monday afternoon/night. But with babies you never know. ;) I'm sure I'll get the birth story and pictures up within a week or 2.
