38 weeks~ The countdown officially begins

 
 

How far along? 38 Weeks...266 days have FLOWN by...14 left (20 if I am being induced)

Total weight gain: 28lbs. 
Maternity clothes? Yes when I have to, otherwise I am very cozy these days in Basketball shorts and tshirts..I so cannot wait to wear NORMAL clothes
Stretch marks? Just on my left side I only have the little marks..nothing to cry about
Best moment this week: Being active ( I fight through the pain) I want to be as active as possible so Ava will want to come join all the fun. I had bonfires, went to a parade, went on walks, went fishing, went on a road trip. Good week!
Miss Anything? Well if I drop something on the floor I get really frustrated because it hurts to bend over (imagine a pumpkin in your tummy)..I either take a couple minutes to pick it up, nicely ask Justin if he could pick it up, or just leave it:)
Movement: Not as many..I think she is getting ready for her big debut :) But when she does move I can feel it.
Food cravings: I have no appetite, I get full VERY FAST!...although Caramel Mochiatos have been one of my splurges :) (Decaf of course)  
Anything making you queasy or sick: I just get full fast so big meals tend to make my stomach churn.
Gender: sweet baby girl
Symptoms: The worst pain when I walk, acid reflux (sleeping sitting up is my new thing), and starting to have more and more contractions.
Belly Button in or out? still in but def shallow.
Wedding rings on or off? This is VERY SAD to say...but I prefer to have it off. Once I start getting active I start to swell and the last thing I want is for my ring to get stuck. I can still get it on but I do not like feeling crammed so I tend to keep it off.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! I have had a few mood swings but nothing major..I blame those on pure EXHAUSTION 
Looking forward to: Going into labor. I want to go into labor on my own and experience all the exciting things, water breaking, contractions, going to the hospital in labor, and everything else. I am so surprised how NOT nervous I am for delivery. I just cannot wait to experience all these wonderful things.
