Well I guess technically 34.5 weeks! We are in the home stretch folks! As each day passes I become more and more anxious (and excited) to meet my little man. I am trying SO hard to soak in this time with my three and enjoy life just the way it is right now though!
Due date: June 30th, 2021 (but we are talking about moving things along around 38 weeks)
How far along: 34.5 weeks!
How many days to go: 31 days. Only 31 freaking days guys!!!
Gender: BOY!
Baby’s name: Baby Boy STILL does not have an official name!
Size of the baby: He is about 18 inches long, almost 5 pounds in weight, and the size of a cantaloupe. That’s what my pregnancy app says, but he feels SO much bigger than that! He feels like a giant bowling ball!
Movement: He moves all day long. He is so active and his movements are even painful sometimes. I can tell he’s getting more cramped in there though, he rolls and stretches more now instead of swift kicks. He has hiccups sometimes and it’s so dang cute!
Total weight gain so far: 16 pounds but I feel massive!!!
Most recent appointment: I had an appointment last week and my belly is measuring about two weeks bigger than it should be.
Belly button in or out: Out, so far out.
Favorite maternity clothes right now: Basically living in my favorite dresses and jeans and t-shirts. Also no bra and jammies as soon as I’m home and its appropriate. The stretchier the better these days!
Sleep: I wake up all night long. Mostly just to roll over and try and get comfortable or to get up to go to the bathroom but thankfully I can get back to sleep pretty easily.
Mood: After a pretty rough week where I felt verrrrrry pregnant I’m feeling better. I’m physically uncomfortable and have some anxieties about all of the changes ahead, especially labor but I have been feeling super thankful and grateful lately. Life is in perspective right now and life looks pretty darn amazing!
Food cravings: Still nothing major! Although I have been loving “kitchen sink” salads. You know, you just gather random ingredience and throw it all together into a salad. Basically whatever you have in your fridge and make a huge mixed green salad. Those have been my jam lately! With some blue cheese crumbles! YUM!!!
Favorite moment this week: Mine and baby boy’s sprinkle!!! My very sweet friends hosted the most beautiful sprinkle for a girlfriend and I who are due about 6 weeks apart and it was seriously just perfect! They had the most beautiful decor, the food was amazing, and there were even custom made cookies that were just the cutest! So many of my friends showered me with love (and diapers and wine!) and I left feeling like my heart could explode it was so full!
I’m missing: Just having a body that doesn’t feel like it’s about to literally POP.
Biggest complaint: I officially can barely bend down to put on shoes, get dressed, pick up the floor, etc. And the heartburn! I have had such intense heartburn and it is a major bummer.
Recent baby purchase: I got all of baby’s bedding and it is dreamy! Also purchased some cordinating outfits for photos and a few special things like new blankets, a few pacis, and some random baby supplies.
Nursery: Still waiting on some decor items! We got the crib up but still have lots more to do so we’ll see if we actually finish “on time”. Not that he will be sleeping in a nursery for a while but it would still be nice to have it checked off our to-go list!
Labor signs: Lots of braxton hicks and belly tightening but nothing too crazy. I figure better now than in labor! Let’s get this body warmed up!
