Total weight gain/loss: +29 lbs (Eek!)
Maternity clothes:Yep.
Have you told family and friends? Everybody knows now :)
Sleep: Still not very good but Saturday night I had an AMAZING night! I only woke up four times and every time went back to sleep immediately! Plus, I didn't have to take even one Tums during the night!
Best moment this week: We had our first weekly appointment Thursday plus we had our last sonogram. Seeing her is ALWAYS the best moment of the week! But finding our that my body is getting really close to delivery was a definite second best moment!
Miss Anything? Ugh. I think we are entering the kind of miserable time and I miss the not so miserable time. I'm just rarely comfortable and often very uncomfortable.
Movement: Thankfully she is no longer breech but that means less movement unless you count her constantly with her feet in my rib cage again as movement ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick? Recently the heartburn is turning back into acid reflux which is pretty sickening.
Gender prediction: GIRL. If she comes out a boy we probably won't have anything monogrammed wrong (since we CAN NOT agree on a name) but we will have A TON (like a ridiculous amount) of baby girl clothes that have to be returned.
Labor Signs: ****TMI ALERT**** At my first "check" Thursday I was at 0 station
(when your provider tells you about your baby’s station, she is referring to how far down your baby’s head has come into your pelvis. If your baby has dropped, but has not yet settled into your pelvis to begin his or her decent, it is measured in centimeters as a negative station. This negative measurement goes from -3 to -1. Once your baby has settled into your pelvis, but before he starts his descent to the birth canal, it is referred to as a zero (0) station. Once your baby starts heading towards the cervix, it is referred to as a positive station from 1 to 3. During this time it is likely that you will feel an increase of pressure and pain in your pelvic bone and vaginal area.), 1 1/2 cm dilated (As you get closer to delivery the mouth of the cervix opens and widens, allowing your baby to pass through. This is measured in centimeters. For most of your pregnancy it should be 0 centimeters, opening to 10 centimeters when it’s time deliver.) and 30% effaced (prior to pregnancy and into much of the third trimester your cervix is long and thick. As labor nears it begins to shorten and thin out. This action is referred to as effacement. Effacement is generally measured in percentages by doctors and midwives. When you have an exam your provider will tell you that it is anywhere from 0% (not effaced at all) to 100% (completely effaced and thin).).
Symptoms: Back pain, heartburn and uncomfortableness in my stomach and, of course, the inability to sleep. And I am really getting to the stage where I am just uncomfortable.<----No change there really.
