How far along: 38 weeksSize of baby: About the size of a pumpkin (see photo to right)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: up about 22 pounds from pre-pregnancy - I've been trying to continue making healthy choices but I'm finding it somewhat challenging at this point. I just want to eat ice cream mostly.
How I'm Changing: Someone must have been listening/reading my post last week because I am now going to be spending more time at home relaxing as the OB wants me to be done at work... turns out my BP was slightly elevated at my last appointment so now I get to have weekly NSTs and considerably more rest. Fortunately I'm only going to be off 8 days earlier than I had planned so no major impact on my leave overall.
Gender: baby boy
Movements: Lots of stretching and some punches/kicks still - he's getting very strong now.
Sleep: Lots of interruptions... I wake up to go to the bathroom at least 3 times a night and usually a couple more just to change positions.
How I'm feeling: large, tired, and very very hot most of the time
What I Miss: red wine, sushi, the ability to get up without the use of my arms, bending over, generally just being able to move in the ways that I want
Cravings: all the food.
Best Moment(s) of the Week: Well my birthday was this week -- 28 years old, I can hardly believe it. Yesterday we went into the city for dinner to celebrate and it was really great. We walked around the public garden and just absorbed the nice weather and sunshine - stopped by the "make way for ducklings" statues and took a picture because they were all wearing adorable Easter hats :-)
We then went to POST 390 in the back bay which was quite delicious - highly recommend if you are in the Boston area and looking for a good farm to table dining experience.
What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On: Looking forward to a few days of rest at home and meeting our little guy :-) only 2 weeks until his due date!
