38 weeks

I AM

38 Weeks!!!

[and I think my belly has dropped...]

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS

How Far Along: 38 weeks

Size of baby: The website I googled said baby boy is currently the size of a leek. He is weighing close to 7 pounds and is around 19 and a 1/2 inches long! 

 Total Weight Gain/Loss: Friday's appointment put me at a total weight gain of 20 lbs. Just where I hope to stay.

Maternity Clothes: All maternity at this point! (I'm really running low in the clothes dept.)

Gender: It's a BOY!!! Gunner Blake.

Movement: Just a punch or a push here and there. I'm sure he's out of room.

What I miss: SLEEEEEEEEP. (I'm so deprived.) Being able to bend over. Being able to hold Tuff. Being able to breathe. Yes, I'm to that point!

Cravings: My cravings are running low. I'm actually starting to lose my appetite some.

Symptoms: I've been having some pretty steady contractions since yesterday afternoon. I really think he might be here before next Tuesday.

Best Moment this week: At my appointment on Friday I was dilated to a 2.5. We also scheduled to induce next Tuesday (if he's not here by then). I didn't want to induce (as you all know) but obviously this is best for my health, and possibly baby Gunner's as well. So whatever's best for us, is what I want! Please keep us in your prayers! As I said in yesterday's post, I'm having all sorts of mixed emotions and I could use the prayers. :)

I got a few pictures with my sweet baby boy this morning while my mom was taking my weekly preggo pic. I always try to get Tuff in the picture on Tuesdays and he never wants to be apart of it. This morning though, he must have been feeling some extra LOVE for his mommy. He came right up to me with his arms wide open. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!!!!
