38 weeks!

 

I'm 38 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 38 Weeks

Size of baby: Cora Jane is the size of a watermelon. 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 27 pounds. 

Maternity Clothes: This is just my pity party, but I hate that I haven't been able to wear my team colors on Fridays at school.  I hate wearing t-shirts other than when I'm at the house.  I like to support my AU tigers! 

Gender: It's a GIRL! Cora Jane (double name)  

Stretch Marks: Thankfully none yet! 

Belly button in or out: It is almost flush with with the rest of my belly. 

Movement: Cora Jane moves all the time. I love to sit and watch her even though she hurts sometimes. 

Sleep: My sleep has still be really good as long as I've been able to stay asleep. 

What I miss: I miss getting anywhere quickly or picking up something easily.  I seem to drop everything these days. 

Cravings: I've craved pizza, hamburgers, chips and salsa, and of course lemonade. 

Symptoms: My back hurts pretty much all the time and had shortness of breath. 

Best Moments this week: 

• Getting a massage a Natural Balance.
• Spending time with my hubby over the weekend.
• Back rubs by my hubby.

 I've been going to the doctor every week for the past couple of weeks.  We are moving right along.  I went to the doctor today.  I am 3 cm dialated and 70% effaced.  I've progressed a little each week.  At today's appointment the doctor told us it could be ANY day because Cora Jane has already dropped.  We are so excited!  I truly cannot wait to meet our sweet little gift from the Good Lord.  We are praying for a safe labor/delivery and a healthy baby girl.  Hopefully the next post will be Cora Jane's birth story.
