Bump update - 40 weeks

40 weeks

How far along? 40 weeks! I guess the baby didn't get the memo that her times is up. Now what do I count down until?

Baby Bump? It’s huge, and hopefully won’t be around much longer.

Comments on my size/pregnancy: “You look like you’re about to have a baby” (Really? Do I?) “You’re still pregnant?”

Maternity Clothes? It’s all about comfort these days. Scott always tells me that I can wear whatever I want because people won’t judge me if I wear pajamas in public because I’m pregnant

Best moment this week: Scott and I went to see “Meet the Mormons” it was pretty good. It was nice being able to spend so much time with just Scott and I before the baby comes.

Belly Button in or out: It’s still in most of the time.

Miss anything?  Being able to wear anything in my closet.  My non-maternity shirts are a little too short now to be worn comfortably.

Food cravings: Sweets, I am always wanting to eat something sweet.

Happy or moody most of the time: Pretty happy, starting to get a little more anxious.

Gender: BABY GIRL! 

Symptoms:  HUGE belly, lots of Braxton hicks, and some cramping, some slight swelling of the feet, I’ve been super hot lately, and I’m super tired by the end of the day. I think that I’ve really had it easy, no major pains or anything.

Wedding Ring on or off: My ring is usually on. Lately I have felt like it has been super warm inside and my hands have started to swell due to that. As long as I am not hot my ring still fits great!

Sleep: I sleep pretty well. I toss and turn a couple times a night, but haven’t had any trouble getting back to sleep. (I am starting to have more dreams about how life is going to be after the baby comes, which sometimes are a little stressful)

This week baby is the size of:  A small pumpkin (just in time for Halloween) and she should be around 7.5 lbs, but I’m guessing she is going to be a little bigger than that.

Baby’s development this week: She’s just getting bigger and building up her fat.

New Baby Items: My dad sent us a baby monitor! We can’t wait to use it. We also got a gift from our landlord.

Looking forward to: Meeting our little girl! (Getting the whole labor thing out of the way)

Anything Else Going on: My mom is going to come out on the 1^st, and I cannot wait to see her. I will probably start counting down to her arrival since I know exactly when she will be here.

If this little girl doesn’t join us on her own this week I will most likely be induced on November 3^rd. I guess we’ll see if she decides to come on her own or not.
