Baby, Baby: 38 Week (and FINAL) Bumpdate

How Far Along?

38 weeks... and this is the last bumpdate!  We meet our Princess and Prince in 2 days!

Genders?

One girl, one boy.

How big are they? 

According to the apps... they're each as long as a leek or Swiss chard, and as big as a spaghetti squash, a pumpkin, or a "big cabbage."  We'll know in a few days exactly how big they are!!

Changing Momma

Have you started showing yet?

Barely... ;-)

Weight Gain?

I lost almost 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks, so I'm only up a total of 31 pounds.

Maternity Clothes?

Yep.

Stretch Marks?

They're impressive!

Belly Button In or Out?

Barely out :-)

Momma's Feeling

Cravings:

Spicy, and cheeseburgers...

Anything making you queasy or sick?

Just hormones...

Happy or Moody Most of the Time?

Fairly moody! 

Movement?

A fair amount... they're both pretty low and head-down, so movement feels weird...

Sleep:

Not really happening...

What I Miss:

Sleep, caffeine... things that give you pep, apparently ;-)

Other Symptoms:

Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions, break-through heartburn, stretching, aching, swelling... the usual!

Highlights and Coming Soon

Best Moment of the Week:

Being handed a paper with my induction date and time written at the top!

 

Looking Forward To:

Meeting these little people on Monday (or Tuesday)!!!

Doctor's Appointments:

Both NSTs went great.  At Thursday's cervix check, I wasn't dilated, but I'm about 50% effaced.  So we discussed going to the hospital on Sunday night (tooooomorrow!) and how I'll be induced.  We'll be using a foley bulb for dilation tomorrow night, then starting pitocin slowly Monday morning.
