Welp, it's safe to say I let myself get my hopes up that my progress would send me into labor this last week, but it hasn't. I'm still pregnant and I now understand the "no end in sight" feeling. But, he will be here SOON and he will have been worth every last second of the wait.
I'm 39 weeks!
Pregnancy
Highlights
Size of
Baby: He’s at his birth size & weight by now… so come out!
Total
Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 22.5 lbs
Maternity Clothes: How
much longer? Bleh! Though, it’s been nice to throw on some leggings and a
sweater in this chilly weather!
Gender: It’s a
boy! Anderson Lee Astacio
Movement: His
movement has slowed down quite a bit as he is running out of room, but I still
feel him, especially really low.
Sleep: I’m
sleeping really well most nights! [I now bury myself in pillows on each side to
support my back and belly.]
What I
miss: Sleeping on my stomach and not waking up 5 or more times to visit the potty!
Cravings: Not so much having
cravings, but I have mentally been making a list of everything I want to cram
in and enjoy before the guilt returns SOON.
Symptoms: Sciatic
nerve pains, occasional cramps that I keep hoping are real contractions, back
ache, and some heartburn.
Best Moment this week: Just the excitement all
around, though it’s easy to become frustrated with the unpredictability of, “it
could happen in an hour, or another week or so…” I know I’ll miss feeling him
in my belly, so I’m trying to enjoy that. Family is coming to town tomorrow and
staying until after he is born, so c’mon little boy!
Enjoy your family! He'll come when he is ready :) And it will so be worth it! :)
