How Far Along? 39 weeks
Size of Baby: Baby Jesus {Tom gets the credit for this one!}
Weight Gain: Up 1 pound since last week, so 32 lbs. since pre-pregnancy
Maternity Clothes: I’ve been wearing anything that still fits and is comfortable. This usually consists of leggings, long tees/sweaters, and Tom’s clothes. I can’t wait to be able to wear some of my old clothes again!
Nursery: The nursery is all set, now we’re just waiting for our little babe to arrive!
Movement: Still feeling lots of movement. Baby is running out of space in there, so with every movement, I feel like all of my insides are moving! It was fun to have family members feel baby move around the holidays this year.
Symptoms:
I think this picture depicts Tom and I extremely well these days. I get up at least once in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, and every time I wake up, he asks me, “Are you having contractions?! Do you feel ok?! Is it time?!?” Hopefully we don’t have to wait much longer! For those of your who have been pregnant before, you know that this is also a very accurate picture of what it looks like trying to crawl out of bed 9 months pregnant.
This past week at my doctor’s appointment, I was 2 cm. dilated, so my body continues to make progress on its own which is encouraging. My next appointment is on Wednesday this week, unless we have baby news before then!
We have everything ready for baby, and are getting SO anxious to meet our little one! Now that I’m off school, I’m ready for baby anyyyyy day now 🙂
Sleep: Sleeping very well & enjoying my daily naps while I can still get them!
Cravings: Cereal — this has been a pretty consistent craving throughout my pregnancy.
What I Miss: I continue to get really excited to be able to have some of the foods again that I haven’t been able to eat for the past 9 months. A turkey sandwich from Jersey Mike’s is currently #1 on the list.
Best Moment This Week: Celebrating Christmas with our families!
Looking Forward To: My birthday is on Tuesday this week, and our next doctor’s appointment is on Wednesday. I can’t believe how close we are to becoming a family of 4! {Lyla included 🙂 }
