How far along: 40 weeks - happy due date to me!Size of baby: About the size of a jackfruit (see photo to right - why does this fruit have to look so intimidating?)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: up about 24 pounds from pre-pregnancy so hopefully this little guy comes soon and I can stay under my goal of 25 pounds total gain
How I'm Changing: I think I'm just kind of over being pregnant at this point... ready to have an outside baby and feel like I have a little more control over my body again
Gender: baby boy
Movements: He's given me a couple little freak out moments this week because he isn't moving quite as much (at least not all day long) -- he still has active periods but with more BH contractions I sometimes can't feel him moving as much
Sleep: still not sleeping - must be getting me ready for when this guy keeps me up all night :-)
How I'm feeling: see "how I'm changing" - basically just tired and having quite a bit of pain in my hips/lower back/pelvis
What I Miss: I no longer care about red wine or sushi - I miss being able to walk/stand without pain
Cravings: all the food.
Best Moment(s) of the Week: nothing specific happened this week really but it is exciting to know how close we are now - Tuesday we have another NST, OB appointment, and if no progress at the OB appointment then another u/s to check size again and then probably start talking induction... my hope is that I just spontaneously go into labor sometime in the next couple of days so we don't even have to do any of these appointments :-)
What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On: B and I are going to soon be responsible for another human being... for the rest of our lives... it is terrifying and awesome at the same time :-)
