Gender: Girl
Weight gain: 18 lbs.
Maternity clothes: I'm totally over maternity clothes at this point! I resorted back to leggings and some cute baggy t-shirts (if there is such a thing). With only 1 week left I refuse to buy any clothes for myself, at this point anyway.
Stretch marks: No and I seriously have no idea how I dodged this ball. I have super temper mental and sensitive skin! I did get some pregnancy melasma on my face, which looks like small freckled patches but I've had that in the past due to birth control so it's no biggie. Plus after this baby comes out I intend to get it "fried" off with a laser peel :)
Belly button in or out: Out most of the time.
Sleep: Back to sleeping pretty good. I wake up 3 times a night to pee and that's about it.
Best moment this week: Knowing that withing 7-10 days we will meet our little girl!!! Yes, I'm scared as hell for labor, considering my pregnancy app let me know that the baby is the size of a "mini" watermelon this morning.
Miss anything: Walking. I know this sounds nuts, but as of Monday the baby has moved in on my sciatic nerve. So as we speak I have a shooting electrical shock going down through my butt cheek to my foot and it's giving me dead leg. I've been shuffling around like a 80 year old man. I swear every week, pregnancy brings something new.
Movement: Still a ton of movement. Knees, heels, hands etc. And it's all visible!
Cravings: Nothing, not even a margarita!
Queasy or sick: Still hanging on to the acid reflux.
Looking forward to: My plan was to cut back on work this week but I. Just. Can't. Especially when I see that it's going to be a busy and productive day! I blame this on my unpaid leave. So I'm looking forward to next week, when no matter what I'm cutting back!!!! And of course the arrival of little Casey.
I'm currently obsessed with Old Navy's Black and White baby stuff right now!!! I'm loving this outfit for summer!!!!!
I am so excited that you are so close! I can't wait to see her!!! I kind of want to punch you for the 18 pounds weight gain and the no stretch marks, but since I know you are probably super miserable right now and I can drink wine I'm going to call it even. :) OK... that wasn't nice of me! Haha. What I mean to say is that you look fabulous and I can't believe you're so close!
ReplyDeleteSo close. My little man started his trip out about 30 minutes into my 39th week. I feel your pain with the nerve issues. At 29 weeks he sat on mt sciatic nerve and didnt move off till he was out. Those pesky babes! But I do misas being pregs!
