Tummy Tuesday - 38 Weeks Pregnant

 *Note: I was still pretty sick when this picture was taken.

 

How far along? 38 weeks - where has the time gone?!? This pregnancy has gone by so quickly. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow. Baby Shea is the size of a celery bunch (about 7-lbs).

 

Total weight gain/measurements: About 20-lbs, it seems to fluctuate by a pound or two each week.   

 

Maternity clothes: Yes. I hate them, but they are all that fit. Do they make maternity shoes because I need some of those? lol  My boots don't fit because of the swelling and wearing flats in this COLD weather is not fun.

 

Stretch marks: Oh I've got them as expected. :) 

Sleep: I had to google what this is. ;)     I've been sleeping, but not very well since I've been sick. I manage about 4-5 hours of broken sleep a night.

Best moment this week: Knowing that my maternity leave starts in just a few days, which means we are one step closer to meeting Shea.  

 

Miss anything? Sleep (I will be saying this for a while).  Warm shoes. Wine. 

 

 Movement: Lots. I feel her butt and feet moving all the time. 

 

Food cravings: Orange Juice and still any drink that is REALLY cold. Slurpees have been my go to lately.

 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Cigarette smoke still. 

 

Gender: Girl.

 

Symptoms: Peeing all the time. Swollen feet and ankles. Puffy face - I'm not sure if this is pregnancy or cold related. Waddling...yup I waddle now..oh well..

 

Belly button in or out? Out. People are constantly staring at it..lol 

 

Wedding rings on or off? Off. My engagement ring didn't fit this morning.  :(

 

 Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty Happy. I know this all means that we are one day closer to meeting our baby girl.

 

 Looking forward to: Meeting baby Shea.
