As of tomorrow I will be 39 weeks pregnant. If this baby is born at the same point in my pregnancy as Evie was, I will be having a baby on Tuesday. HOLY CRAP!!! For work reasons, I'm hoping that I can hold off until Wednesday at least (like I have any control over this...HA!). We only have two days of school this week because of Thanksgiving, and I just want a clean break with the kids. I dread the idea of just not coming in one day. (I'm planning to write more about this tomorrow. :)
Like I posted last week, I'm ready. I really am, but it's still a little tough to wrap my mind around the idea that these are our last days as a family of three. As much as I'm excited to meet this baby, I am mourning the loss of our time as "just the three of us." I know that our family of three was not complete, but we had some good times, and this baby is going to change everything. In the end, I know that it will be for the better, but the big adjustment is scaring me right now.
Weight gain/loss: +39 lbs. at my doctor's appointment last Monday.
Fruit of the week: This week baby is the size of a watermelon.
Feeling: Ready! Excited! Sad! (about life changing so drastically so quickly) Nervous! Happy! Pretty much every emotion...followed by an exclamation point!
Sleep: Last week was actually really good. Evie has finally begun to sleep better since getting over her cold, and I have been able to mostly turn off my brain and sleep. If I can make it through school on Tuesday, I know I'll sleep better too.
Food cravings: Nothing really. I'm excited for Thanksgiving though!! Mmmmm....stuffing!
Movement: Less than last week, which is great because I'm feeling pretty confident this baby is stuck head down. Woo hoo!! He is still moving around enough to reassure me that things are fine, but it has definitely decreased from a few weeks ago.
Labor signs: We were a little freaked out on Friday night when I had contractions about 4 - 6 minutes apart for a couple of hours. They weren't incredibly painful, but they weren't Braxton Hicks either. If it had lasted much longer, we would have been on our way to the hospital!! Other than that, I was dilated 1.5 cm and 50% effaced at my appointment last Monday.
Name: Miller?? Brooks?? Tyler?? We don't have a clue!
What I miss? Nothing really right now. I'm looking forward to being able to sleep comfortably on my back and tummy again soon...for the couple of hours of sleep that I get each day.
Best moment this week: Seeing Evie play with her cousins last night at my in-law's. Evie is pretty funny on her own, but with another two year old, and a six year old *attempting* to form some sort of organized play, it was hilarious!
What I'm looking forward to: Getting through school on Tuesday. Again, I know that I have no control over this, but I really just want to make it that far.
Next Appointment: Tomorrow at 39 weeks.
