Baby is still the size of a WATERMELON.
How far along? 39 weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: Up a pound, but officially at my highest weight (pregnant or non-pregnant) ever.
Maternity clothes? I've got a handful of things that still fit. And that's all I wear. The end.
Symptoms: Poor circulation in my arms/hands. Extremely bad mood. Low energy. Restless legs. Cramps. Back pain. Trouble sleeping. I am so ready to have this baby.
Movement: I was pretty active this week - the back pain didn't help things, but I logged more gym time and cleaned the condo like an animal, so I got some decent cardio in. Wesley is making my stomach contort in weird ways - he's not active frequently, but in the periods when he's active it is CRAZYTOWN in there.
Food cravings: Popsicles. Cereal. Not much else. My appetite isn't so hot.
Aversions: I should avoid eating. Yet I still do it.
Gender? IT'S A BOY!
Sleep: I had several nights when I couldn't get to sleep until after 4 a.m. Not good. I napped when I could, rested as much as possible, but really, sleep this past week has been elusive. And good sleep even more so. I go to sleep with twitchy, numb limbs and wake up with stiff, sore, twitchy numb limbs.
What I miss: Being in a better mood. Waiting and suffering through these last few days have made me so miserable and cranky that I hate it. I am an emotional mess (even more so than normal), and I am having a hard time imagining labor and actually meeting this little baby. I have also been consumed with thoughts of induction, labor, the first few weeks, etc. Scary stuff, people.
What I am looking forward to: Having this baby and not being pregnant anymore!
Weekly Wisdom: Worrying doesn't help.
Milestones: Closer to done.
