How far along? 38 Weeks
Baby is the size of? The length of a leek. Baby is 19.5 inches long and weighs about 7 pounds.
Total weight loss/gain? I was 173 pounds at the doctors yesterday so total weight gain is 45 pounds, yikes!
Maternity Clothes? Yes that is all I can wear.
Stretch Marks? No, but lots of blue veins on my stomach.
Sleep? Not as great. I toss and turn a lot and get up to pee. Last night I slept on the couch and it felt good for the back support. Getting up after laying down is quite painful. I think baby dropped as I have a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen.
Best moment of this week? Had my doctors appointment yesterday and all was good. I am 1 cm. dilated and 50% effaced. I measured 39 cm so was measuring one cm ahead. Harrison said to me last night "Mommy, your tummy is full" and put his head on my stomach as if to say "its eviction time baby!" He did the same thing again today. It was too cute.

Also, my moms group friends threw me a little sprinkle for baby Kalnas. It was perfect and relaxing and everyone enjoyed themselves. I had a wonderful day with friends and baby K was sprinkled with love.
Worst moment of this week? Just tired and ready to be done but still feel like I have so much to do. Every time I cross something off my to-do list I feel like I add three more things. I still need to pack my hospital bag. I started to get it ready today. I was really struggling on what to bring as with Harrison I packed all these "cute outfits" and have no idea what the hec I was thinking. I pretty much stayed in my hospital gown the whole time looking homeless. Harrison and I went to Ross today and I bought a cute bathrobe and a few light nightgowns, figured those would be easy and comfy with my incision. I also bought a light PJ set. I am not going to over pack this time.
Miss Anything? Soft drinks, I am so sick of drinking water. I started drinking flavored seltzer here and there and it tastes so good.
Movement? I think space is getting tight. I feel hard jabs here and there and feel feet or hands but not as much as before.
Food Cravings? Nothing really, lots of food aversions and smells make me gag and throw up.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Eggs, chicken, the smell of garlic, coffee.
Symptoms? Exhausted, tired feet and ankles, lots of Braxton hicks.
Have you started to show yet? Oh yes, I look huge in these pictures and I also look tired and awful. It was after a long day.

Gender Predictions? I think a boy. Harrison and dad think a girl. I asked Harrison twice today and he said girl hands down both times. He is so matter of fact.
Labor signs? Lots of Braxton hicks, I am one cm dilated.
Belly Button in or out? Pretty much all out now.
Exercise? Ha NO.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Pretty happy. I cried today because I feel like my house is just always a disaster zone. We have nothing nice anymore and toys everywhere.
Looking forward to? Getting this baby out and meeting him or her.
Any irrational worries? Complications during delivery, I just want a healthy mom and baby!
