I can tell it is getting close and we have had a few eventful days lately that are constantly reminding us.
Nick's boss is apparently a baby psychic and has predicted the date and (almost) the time of the last two babies born on his team. His guess is this Saturday, September 17 around 4pm. We will be watching the clock at that time this weekend. Today is the last time I will see my boss before I go out on LOA and completely unprompted, she says, "I think this baby is coming this weekend". Anxious to see if these two know what they are talking about!
I came down with a head cold earlier this week and have been struggling to sleep, breathe, and eat....not the best situation at this point in pregnancy. On Monday night, I sneezed and thought for a second my water broke! Pretty funny moment because THAT is something that I have never experienced before...luckily (or unluckily) it wasn't my water breaking but regardless, it was a funny (and wet) surprise.
On Wednesday, I decided to stay home from work. I had barely slept and felt awful so a restful day at home just seemed like the smart thing to do. After laying around most of the day, I noticed that baby G wasn't moving around like her regular wiggling self....I called my doctor who said we should head to labor and delivery to get checked out. All was well...she looked perfect on the monitor and all my vital signs were good. I felt a little silly and didn't want to overreact but all the doctors assured me that MOST of the time decreased movement isn't anything....but when it is something, it is a big deal so you always want to get checked out.
Needless to say, we are hoping for a few normal, boring nights.
Callie has always been so great about sharing her Scholastic Book order forms for her class with me so I can order great/cheap books for Carli. The one I got this week said "DUE 9/30" at the top!
I couldn't help but smile and my little reminder!
How far along? 37 weeks
Total Weight Gain? 12bs (down 4lbs from last week...chalking it up to my cold)
Maternity Clothes? yep!
Stretch Marks? lots of lotion daily.
Sleep: Sleep has been horrible this week b/c of this cold.
Best moment this week: Hitting 37 weeks and knowing that baby girl is thriving and doing great.
Miss anything? Sleep....I guess I should just kiss this one goodbye for a few months.
Movement: Little less this week but all is well in there.
Food Cravings? I had the most delicious strawberry popsicle and can't stop thinking about it.
Anything make you sick or queasy? Just this awful stuffy nose!
Gender: GIRL:)
Labor signs: Braxton hicks are frequent but sporadic.
Symptoms: heartburn, lots of pressure, peeing while sneezing, and a big ole' basketball belly!
Belly button in or out? Almost flush at this point.
Wedding rings on or off? I wear whatever slips on easy:)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy
Looking forward to: a weekend with no plans and only 1 more week of work this year!!!
Carli and I were cuddling on the couch and she started telling me about the baby in her belly. I decided to snap a quick selfie of the two little mama's!
