Weekly Update: 38 Weeks

How far along: 38 Weeks

How Am I Feeling?: A little uncomfortable. Definitely ready for her.

Mood: So excited. I can't believe I'm due in 2 weeks!

Clothes: I usually wear shorts and a tank top unless I'm going somewhere. Most days I don't really leave the house which is good for my wardrobe.

Sleep: Ugh. It's awful. I can't ever sleep through the night and sometimes I have a really hard time falling asleep. I usually stay up pretty late and then sleep in a little later in the morning.
Cravings: none anymore.
Gender: girl
Movements: She loves to bounce on my bladder. That's a ton of fun.
Belly Button: Yeah, it's going to stay out. I think it's sticking out even more.

Labor Signs: none. We'll find out if I've made any progress at my doctor's appointment on Tuesday.
Best Moment This Week: Finishing up a lot of the shopping for baby.

What I Miss: My stomach not itching. It has been itching like crazy lately.

What I am Looking Forward To: Being a mom.

Milestones This Week: We met with the Pediatrician today. We both really really like him.

How Big is Baby?: According to The Bump, the baby is still the size of a watermelon.

Your Baby: 38 Weeks
Your baby could be gaining as much as one full ounce of weight per day now. While he continues to urinate and practice breathing, your baby is also storing meconium (your baby's first bowel movement) in his intestines. His lungs are continuing to mature and his grasp has become even firmer than before. Your baby is approximately 20 inches long and weighs about 6 1/2 to 7 pounds. Almost all babies born now will live with little medical intervention.
