How far along? 40 weeks
Baby G is the size of a Jackfruit!? (Not even sure what that is!)
Due Date: March 5th 2014
Total weight gain/loss: 158 + 37lbs
Maternity clothes? YES! Anything & everything cotton & stretchy...Feel like a bum living in joggers, t-shirts, compression socks & granny undies! (Hot I know!)
Stretch marks? No...if one pops up now I will not be impressed!
Sleep: Sleep is good (Shawn has kindly given me the bed to myself so I can't roll and not disrupt him or listen to his snoring... I still am wide awake usually between 4-6:30 am, need a snack, then sleep again until 8 / 8:30)
Best moment this week: Taking the time to relax! Enjoyed a prenatal massage by Rhea Eady @ The Family Wellness Centre. I highly recommend! It is nice to use the pregnancy pillow and get to lay on your belly! Also had an adjustment at the chiropractor and did another prenatal yoga class! The combination of those three has kept my body feeling great! (As great as a 40 week preggo can feel;) )
Have you told family and friends: YES
Miss Anything? Spicy food! I want Mexican! My heart burn hasn't been bad (with taking Zantac) and I don't want to upset it much. But it will probably be best for me to have some now instead of after baby is born when they might get gassy / irritable from what I am ingesting.
Movement: Yes...lots after my 'labour inducing' acupuncture treatment and the night I ate a big bowl of fruit before bed baby decided then was the perfect time for a dance party!!
Food cravings: I craved sugary gummy candy this week... Hubby is the best and picked me up some after hockey. Why is it so tasty!
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes!
Gender prediction: Clueless! I thought boy, but my pregnancy is so similar to a friend who had a girl (I swore it was going to be a boy for her!) So who knows! We will find out soon!
Labour Signs: Ob checked and I am slightly dilated! She said hopefully they baby will come this weekend, if not my next appt is next Tuesday! I'm off for a walk with Lola after posting this!
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? Off most of the time ... Somedays just too uncomfortable to be on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy this week!
Weekly Wisdom: Taking time to relax and enjoy my last few days of peace and quiet. I have totally different perspective for pregnant ladies approaching their due dates! I know now what not to say to someone at this point, that I maybe would of said before. I know people mean well and are just excited to meet our little babe (we are too!) when the time comes people will be kept in the loop!
