Last week before the big DDAY!!! This seems crazy to know that I only have 4 more days until my due date. I am so nervous and excited to meet her.
Size: A mini watermelon...I hope she's a mini watermelon and not a big ole watermelon :). The midwives have all said different things about her size, but they all agree she will be on the smaller side. I have heard 6.5 pounds up to 8 pounds, I guess it depends on how long she decides to bake. Babycenter says she is probably around 7 pounds and 20 inches long, but one never really knows until she appears!
Weight Gain: I actually haven't gained any weight in several weeks, so I am still at a total of right at 30 pounds, I think this is pretty good considering what I have been eating at times haha.
Sleep: I still can't complain about this, I sleep pretty well waking up a few times to go to the bathroom, and then it takes me a few minutes to get back asleep, but overall I am sleeping good.
Appointment: I had my appointment Thursday and the midwife thought she had turned again so we got an ultrasound, and after all the worry she is definitely still head down, just doesn't seem quite ready yet! The ultrasound tech measured her at about 6 pounds 14 ounces, so we'll see how accurate this is very soon!
Symptoms:
I have actually become pretty miserable the last week or so. I am constantly nauseous and this keeps getting worse and worse :(.
Heartburn-still horrible
Back aches-check
Swelling-NONE I'm so blessed that this has not been a problem for me at all!
Exhaustion-I am so glad I got most of the stuff in her nursery ready before these last few weeks, because when I work all day all I want to do is come home and lay down.
A few things I have learned about myself while being pregnant:
-It gets harder and harder to drive, well basically just hard to turn around and see blind spots, etc. haha
-They make us pregnant women pee in a cup every doctor's appointment, but they must not realize we can't see down there which makes this the most difficult part of the appointment for me!
-This baby has loved Chic-Fil-A, Chocolate peanut butter ice cream from Baskin Robbins, and well anything sweet!
-I don't even want to get dressed unless Steven is home anymore because I can't reach to put my shoes and socks on by myself, I can't imagine if my stomach were bigger because everyone keeps telling me I have a really small belly.
-I really enjoy the fact that it's been me and her for these past 9 months and I have loved feeling her kicks and punches, but I think it's now time to share her with her daddy and the rest of the world!
-Everyone loves to tell you to walk, walk, walk, but this is so difficult when all I ever want to do at this point is sit/lay down!!!
I am hoping one of these next blog posts will be about our new baby girl, but we'll see, she may wait and grace us over Thanksgiving :). I have been told by several people my stomach is still pretty high up...but she definitely feels low enough to be ready haha.
Anyway, everyone say prayers for a safe, healthy delivery!
