38 Weeks

Frustrated beyond belief! There was no change or progress from last week. Though on the plus side I gained no weight.

I feel so sore & tired from being pregnant that I'm just ready to be done. Yes, obviously I want a healthy baby, so she can bake as long as she wants, but it would be nice if she let up a little on causing me pain. I can't sleep more than a solid 2 hours a night because of hip/pelvic pain & getting up to pee 3 or more times a night.

So this Saturday Dan is taking Madison with him to go to a trapping show. Its about 2 hours away, so this Momma cannot go due to Dr's orders about how far I can go from home/hospital. So I get to spend a day all by myself doing whatever I want. Now the question is what do I want to do? Maybe nap? Veg out on the couch? Shopping? Mani/Pedi? I have time to figure it out at least.

How far along? 37 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain: 22 lbs (no gain in a week!)

Maternity clothes? Yes, since about 7 weeks

Stretch marks? I think my stretch marks have stretch marks

Linea Nigra:  Still Not yet (never had one with Madison, so...)

Sleep: Not much. Insomnia is back.

Times you Potty a Night:  3 + times a night

Best moment of the week: Flying a kite & blowing bubbles with Madison

Miss anything?  Not really

Movement: Yes, I'm getting kicked & punched daily. Hubby is finally able to feel the movement of this baby girl & now pokes & prods at her when she does kick him.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not at all.

Cravings: Mexican Food!

Gender prediction:  Doesn't matter anymore because its a girl
Gender: GIRL

Labor signs:  Contractions - 1 cm dilated 30% effaced - no change from last week

Symptoms:  The bump in front, some sore boobs, & pregnancy insomnia & being uncomfortable

Aches & Pains:  A sore lower back from carrying the bump & a sciatic nerve pain, the hip & pelvic pain & the pain of a baby head bouncing off my cervix all day long!

Belly button in or out? Still in, but seems like it might just pop out soon.

Wedding rings on or off? Off. Sadness.

Happy or moody most of the time? Uncomfortable

Looking forward to:  Saturday all to myself!
