39 Weeks!!!

How Many Weeks: 39 Weeks!!! 

Total weight gain: I went to the doctor today and no weight gain.

Maternity clothes: Still wearing lots of skirts and dresses, they are certainly the most comfortable.   

Stretch marks: Just the two that I found earlier. I have switched though to this new Belly Balm.
Sleep: The past couple nights I have been sleeping rather well. Still getting up to go to the bathroom, but that is not as frequent either.

Best moment of this week: Pretty good week so far, nothing really exciting happening. I guess the news of not necessarily getting induced was exciting. Have to wait to see what happens. Let's hope this little one just makes an appearance on her own.  

Miss anything: Not really missing too much this week. 

Food cravings: Nothing

Anything making you queasy or sick: Fishy smells.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, still all belly. 

Gender: Sweet baby GIRL!!!

Movement: She moves a lot. 
Labor signs: Definitely feeling those Braxton Hicks contractions!!! They occur more and more often now. 

Nursery: All finished pictures to come!!! I absolutely love it. It couldn't be prettier. 

Belly button in or out: Half and Half

Wedding rings on or off: Off, due to my joints and swollen fingers.

Happy or moody most of the time: Overall very happy!! Just waiting for this little one to arrive. 

 Looking forward to: Meeting this little one!!!

Size of the Baby!!

38 Weeks!!!

How Many Weeks: 38 Weeks!!! Counting down the days.

Total weight gain: I went to the doctor on Wednesday, so a total of 20 lbs. 

Maternity clothes: Mostly maternity. Lots of dresses, it is just the easiest and most comfortable.  

Stretch marks: I just found 2!! I was not a happy camper, but I'm still using Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter here

Sleep: Sleep comes and goes depending on the night. Some nights are definitely better than others, but I guess this is just my body getting ready for those sleepless nights. 

Best moment of this week: This week was my last visit to the sugar doctor. Everything went well and baby is looking great. They are estimating she is weighing about 7 lbs. She was so cute up on the ultrasound screen just moving away. Can't wait to actually see her in person. 

Miss anything: Not really missing too much this week. I know it is not that much longer and soon I will be back to eating things I haven't had in awhile.

Food cravings: Nothing

Anything making you queasy or sick: Fishy smells.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, at least it is all just belly. Hopefully it won't be too hard to take off the pounds once she arrives.

Gender: Sweet baby GIRL!!!

Movement: She moves a lot. Luckily she does not keep me up at night. I hear that can really be difficult when you are trying to sleep. 

Labor signs: Definitely feeling those Braxton Hicks contractions!!! They were actually really strong on Monday and we thought maybe it was time, but they went away after a couple hours. The doctor says though due to the diabetes if she doesn't come by the 27th, I will have to be induced on the 28th. So we know she is coming sometime soon.

Nursery: All finished except for the curtain that Tom is going to hang.

Belly button in or out: Half and Half

Wedding rings on or off: Off, due to my joints and swollen fingers.

Happy or moody most of the time: Overall very happy!! I just can't wait to meet this little "Blueberry."

 Looking forward to: Baby coming!!! 

Size of Baby

36 Weeks!!!

How Many Weeks: 36 Weeks!! 4 weeks left.

Total weight gain: I went to the doctor on Tuesday and gained 2 pounds. So a total of 17 pounds.

Maternity clothes: Yes, still mixing it up though where I can between maternity and non maternity.

Stretch marks: Not a one!! Thanks to Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter here

Sleep: I still get up between 2 and 3 times to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but overall I sleep pretty well. 

Best moment of this week: On Monday I went to the doctor to have my sugars checked and it is always great because I get to see the baby on the ultrasounds. She was moving away in there and it was neat to see her heart beating, her lungs and she was even sticking her tongue out!! I can't wait to meet this little "Blueberry!!!" We also got to go down the shore on Saturday to visit some friends and go to the beach in Asbury Park which was very nice. 4th of July itself was pretty rainy so we went bowling with friends.

Miss anything: I miss those summer drinks. Luckily I don't have too much longer to wait.   

Food cravings: I've been doing well with my sugars and monitoring what I can and can't eat.

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of tuna fish makes my stomach turn a little.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, she is growing like crazy at my last appointment with the Fetal Medicine doctor on Monday she was around 6lbs.

Gender: All Girl!!!

Movement: All the time!! She is currently kicking me as I am typing!!

Labor signs: Nothing yet, doctor says though due to the diabetes she wants me to deliver in July. So if she doesn't come by the 27th, I will have to be induced.

Nursery: Getting there.

Belly button in or out: Half and Half

Wedding rings on or off: Off, this week my joints started to hurt in my left hand and my ring finger was a little swollen, so I chose to keep them off.

Happy or moody most of the time: Overall very happy!! So far the summer break has been nice and eventful and I'm really looking forward to the baby arriving!!

 Looking forward to: On Monday I'm going with my friends from work up to Amy's Lake House, which should be beautiful. I love hanging out with these girls and it will be nice to get away before the baby comes. 

** I'm a bit behind on the weeks so I posted below a picture from 35 weeks and currently I'm going into week 37 which will be updated this week.
