Week 38: Nothing Yet!

Well my hopeful predictions of Baby Legg arriving this past weekend were crushed and in fact, though I have becoming progressively more uncomfortable, she shows no signs of coming anytime soon :-( We're still stalled out at 1 cm dilated as of this morning, same as last week. We're so ready for you to get here...let's get the show on the road please!

How far along? 38 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 27 lbs up
Maternity clothes? Definitely. I've gotten pretty huge the past week, plus I've dropped even more significantly then last week so pretty much only maternity stuff is fitting these days.
Sleep? Almost none. I've had terrible insomnia on top of all the aches, pains, and bathroom trips. Yesterday morning I was up and wide awake at 3am.
Stretch marks? Still a ton but at least the itchiness has become manageable.
Best moment this week: Getting our to do list completely finished. There is no reason to keep stalling, Baby! The house is spotless, laundry is caught up, dishes are done, and I even painted my nails and shaved my legs. I'm ready!
Miss Anything? Lying on my stomach, getting a full night's sleep, Subway, and margaritas.
Movement: The past few days she's been more active than usual. Hopefully she's working on busting her way out of there.
Food Cravings: Grape soda and Nutella. Starting last night my appetite has been pretty much nonexistent, though, so nothing sounds super amazing.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling a little nauseous all around. I tried a bagel with cheddar and jalapeno cream cheese this morning on the way to the doctor and wanted to puke after one bite.
Gender: Girl!
Pregnancy Symptoms: Still some minor swelling in my feet and ankles along with back pain, a ton of pressure down by my pelvic bone, insomnia, stronger and more frequent Braxton Hicks, nausea and loss of appetite
Labor Signs: 1 cm dilated, tons of Braxton Hicks, and I lost my mucus plug on Thursday (I know, gross)
Wedding rings on or off? On my pinky
Happy or Moody most of the time: Getting a little frustrated that I feel like I'm ready to go but my body isn't keeping up! I know she'll come when she's ready, though.
Looking forward to: Getting this baby out of me and into my arms!

Week 37: FULL TERM!!!

How far along? 37 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 24 lbs up...big jump from last week!
Maternity clothes? Yup yup yup! Though the skirt I'm wearing in the picture is a post pregnancy skirt with a belly band for help.
Sleep? Almost none. Between going to the bathroom, back pain, and heartburn, Saturday night I was up 5 times (some of those times for an hour or so at a time), and last night I was up every 1 hr and 10 min like clockwork to go to the bathroom.
Stretch marks? So many! And they're getting really irritated and ridiculously itchy, so much so that my doctor prescribed me a pill and some cream to help calm down the itchiness.
Best moment this week: Hitting 37 weeks! Baby could come any day now according to our doctor! I told Jon that I no longer care what of our upcoming plans we'd have to miss out on if she came early; I just want her to get here!
Miss Anything? I'll stick with my answer from last week. Sleep and margaritas. And Woodchucks. Yeah....
Movement: Slowed down but still active!
Food Cravings: Grape soda is the new big one. And lemonade and diet coke.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular is making me queasy or sick, but my stomach is getting upset more frequently and my appetite is kind of diminishing.
Gender: Team pink!
Pregnancy Symptoms: Crazy back pain, itchy itchy ITCHY stomach, reduced appetite, Braxton Hicks, and just all around uncomfortable-ness! She has definitely dropped, too, because I feel tons of pressure in my lower abdomen. Swelling in my feet and ankles has gotten somewhat better, though.
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks have been coming on harder, longer, and stronger. I definitely feel them now, no question. AND I was dilated a good centimeter at my appointment this morning so we're making progress!
Wedding rings on or off? Wearing them on my pinky
Happy or Moody most of the time: Slightly miserable from being so uncomfortable, but super happy that I could be meeting my baby girl any day!
Looking forward to: Meeting Baby Legg!
