Flashback....38 weeks with Owen!!!!

How far along? 38 weeks! Baby is about 19 inches long and 7lbs! It's the size of a pumpkin! I think it's time for him to come out! :)

Total weight gain/loss: I gained 1/2 a lbs this week...so according to dr I'm up to abt 13lbs.

Dr. Appointment Updates?I had an appt on Thursday. My blood pressure was borderline, so they want me to come in on Monday to check my blood pressure. Owen's hb was in the 140's. I'm dilated to about a 2 and the baby had dropped even more...I knew that!! It's hanging out in-between my legs. My co-worker had her appt before me, and she was rushed to L&D b/c her blood pressure was really high and swollen. She's now put on bed rest.

Next Appointment: It's on Thursday at 2:50!!

Maternity clothes? YES!!

Sleep:  Yes, I've been sleeping pretty good. Just having dreams about baby. Chris finally had a dream about Owen coming. I still wake up to go potty...and there's times where I'm just wide awake..but I'm sleeping pretty good.
Best moment this week: Knowing that I'm just a little bit closer to getting Owen here. A lot of people have had their babies this week. I'm totally scared of labor...but I'm ready!!

Movement: Yes...and they are lower and feel like he wants to come out. I'm been having like a sharp pain go down to the area sometimes...but I just read for week 38 that is normal. It's the baby's head hitting nerves that are down there...it's called the lighting bolt. 

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really!
Labor Signs: I really have only had braxton hicks when I'm walking and haven't really ate yet. I'm ready for some....are to see the bloody show or even water breaking.
Belly Button in or out? Yeah, it's out!

What I am looking forward to: Meeting Mr. Owen!

Milestones: I'm two weeks away from meeting my son! CRAZY!! 

 

The bags are in the car....I have a feeling it's going to be this weekend! But watch I'll go a week over. 

 

 

I have one more week of work!!! YEAH!
