39 Weeks


How far along? 39 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: No clue. I haven't been on a scale all week, and I don't go to the doctor until tomorrow.
Maternity clothes? Yup, and my already limited wardrobe is further impeded by maternity clothes that no longer fit comfortably.
Stretch marks? There aren't any new ones, but the existing ones are lengthening, for lack of a better term, and have basically taken over my belly.
Sleep: Sleep is touch-and-go. I'm having more trouble getting to sleep at night, I'm waking up earlier, and I still want to nap constantly.
Best moment this week: I don't really have one. All the days just blend together. There have been a lot more strangers commenting on my belly, though, which is always fun.
Movement: He's still wiggling around in there, even throwing the occasional punch and kick.
Food cravings: Anything and everything, especially if it's sweet or fruit.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: I'll hopefully find out about progress tomorrow. I was hopeful I might be in early labor today after we walked around the state museums for a few hours, but I suck at timing contractions so I can't tell if they're regular, increasing, or even real. I've had cramping most of the day and been in a decent amount of pain periodically, but I have no clue if it means anything or not, which probably means it means nothing. So much for going into labor on Labor Day.
Belly Button in or out? In, shallow, and slit-like.
What I miss: Not over-analyzing every twinge in my abdomen. I feel like I'm back in 1st tri again!
What I am looking forward to: Being positive I'm in labor (can you tell I'm frustrated right now?)
Weekly Wisdom: No one stays pregnant forever. View each child you encounter as proof!
Milestones: 39 weeks and still cooking!
