How Far Along: 36 Weeks
4 left, that's right 4 weeks left!!!
4 left, that's right 4 weeks left!!!
Size of baby: crenshaw melon
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 24 lbs
Maternity Clothes: scrubs. I wear the same pair of black scrub bottoms everyday to work. I have to wear running shoes to work and tall or compression socks so this is my only option other than jeans or sweats which I don't think would go over as well as scrubs. I would have to venture to guess I'm one of the worst dressed accountants out there these days!
Movement: he has slowed down quite a bit which I have read is very normal. I enjoy the break from the internal pummeling I was getting but I really still like to feel him. It is comforting to feel him move around even if it hurts!
What I miss: being able to tie my own shoes or put on my socks.
Cravings: Food - I'm hungry all the time.
Symptoms: very painful ribs/back. I had a gallbladder ultrasound this week because Dr. M thought it may be caused by gallstones. I haven't heard the results of the ultrasound yet so I'm assuming no news is good news!
Best Moment This Week: I had a really good day at work today. I feel as if I was able to accomplish alot and that things are moving forward. It feels so good to have that kind of a day. I've been really nervous about being gone on maternity leave so feeling comfortable with my situation will make it so much easier.
Milestones: full term in a week!!! BRING IT ON!
What I'm Looking Forward To: SHOWERS! I have a work shower on Friday and a Ruston friends shower on Saturday. I won't lie - I think the thing I'm most looking forward to is getting a little Hannah time at the Ruston shower!! I haven't seen her in WAY too long since she moved south so no matter what happens I KNOW Saturday will be the best day of the week!! I know it will be 2 days of spoiling for William and I. So thank you all in advance!!!
I had a WONDERFUL time with you this weekend! I loved getting the extra time in with you and you look absolutely beautiful. You are going to be an incredible mother! I can't wait to meet Sweet William! LOVE YOU!
