38 weeks - Getting so close!


How far along: 38 weeks and 5 days.
Fruit/Vegetable Comparison and Size: A pumpkin! - He is looking to be about 6 3/4 pounds according to the midwife on Wednesday.
Total weight gain: 33 lbs.
Exercise: A hike in the Wissahickon with my yoga friend Ali, 1 prenatal yoga class, and a 5 mile walk with Matt today - Phew! It's getting humid around here.
Maternity clothes: Tank tops and shorts mainly - what a relief to not be pregnant in the winter - there would be too many items to wear! I'm glad I get to keep it simple. 
Sleep: Still doing pretty well here, a little more difficult to roll over *imagine having a bowling ball attached to your stomach* but able to fall asleep once I get there.
Best moment(s) of this week: Hanging out with two pregnant friends! Katie from the Bradley class we were taking, and Ali who is from the prenatal yoga class I go to. Such fun to meet and hang out with soon-to-be Mom's in the area!
Miss anything: Nothing at the moment - just feeling thankful this week! Excited that I'm nearly 39 weeks pregnant and still truckin' along, getting out of the house, walking, etc. It's been an enjoyable pregnancy overall, and I'm truly thankful to say that.
Movement: He's running out of room for sure! His legs are now on the left side only and I feel his little feet sticking out my side often. I feel like he's getting lower, but only time will tell!
Food cravings: Still cold water, Mexican street corn - we've had that about 3 times this week (Thanks Kim!), Popsicles
Symptoms: Swollen feet and hands after a long walk or standing for a long time, frequent bathroom breaks
Belly button in or out: You know it's out.
Wedding rings on or off: Stuck on... oops.
Looking forward to: Next baby appointment on Wednesday and of course meeting our baby boy - could be any day!!

*P.S. - Next week look for a photo collage of all the weeks combined - so fun to see the changes!
