38 Weeks


How far along? 38 Weeks, 3 days - 11 days till our due date!
Baby is the size of: A pumpkin. Weighs around 7-7.5 pounds (could be more or less). Boys on average weigh more than girls. By now, he could be at the maximum length of 20 inches. 
What's new with baby: He should be nice and plump. Movements often diminish due to the decrease in space around baby. Brain and nervous system will continue to develop well into childhood and teen years.   
Maternity clothes? Yup! 
Sleep: Sleeping okay. Pretty decent considering. I am super anxious. I go to bed every night thinking , "this could be it." 
Sleeping on: Side. 
Best moment this week: Just having everything done and ready for Christmas and baby. We got our hospital tour in just in time so we have an idea of what to expect/where to go. 
Miss Anything? No. 
Movement: Yes. Feels like he's popping out of my stomach. 
Food cravings: No.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  No.
Have you started to show yet: Yes.
Gender: Boy!
Name selected?: Kamden
Working out? No. 
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks.
Belly Button in or out? Surprisingly still in but I'm waiting for it to pop any day now.
Wedding rings on or off? Wedding ring on. Engagement ring off.  
Overall health: Feeling good!  Energy is good. I feel pretty active and mobile. I always imagined I would be waddling around and slow at this point but I don't feel like that is the case. Weekly check up is tomorrow. Last week the doctor said the baby is very low in my pelvis and most likely has a big head like his daddy. Oh, joy!  
Feeling (happy, moody, emotional, scared): Anxious!!!!!! Excited, nervous, scared, emotional, anxious, excited, and super excited!!! :)
Looking forward to: Meeting our son! And Christmas. Honestly, Christmas is a little overshadowed this year. 
Next appointment: Tuesday, Dec. 24
