Week 38 Pregnancy Journal


How far along?  38 weeks, due July 3.

Size of Baby:  Probably around 6.5 pounds at this point?

Gender: Girl?!  I don't know!  I change with the wind on what I think.  Kevin still says boy!

Weight Gain: None. 

Maternity Clothes: I'm trying to just get by with my regular clothes and a few maternity bottoms.  At this point, why buy clothes?!

Nursery:  Done!  Mills likes going in there which I'm glad he feels comfortable being in that room.  I don't want him to ever feel like it's off limits for him.  He lives at our house too!



Movement: Yes!

Symptoms:  I think his/her feet are into my ribs now.  I just won't talk about other symptoms.  The on call nurse last week told me that the last few weeks won't be fun and I believe her!  

Sleep: Still up a couple times a night for the bathroom.  Sleep versus a good blood sugar in the morning is my biggest ponder these days.  They say to only fast for 6-8 hours.  I'm sorry but I want more sleep than that especially since I won't be getting sleep very soon.

Cravings:  Everything I can't have.  

What I Miss:  Not moaning and groaning.  I'm ready to be me again.

Best Moment This Week:  Getting to today.  Last couple of weeks at the doc, they kept saying they want me to get to 38 weeks.  I guess when you have gestational diabetes, the lungs of the baby are even slower to develop so 38 weeks was their goal for me.  

Looking Forward to:  Any day now!!!!!

  5. aww there's that bump!! You look great! I can't believe how soon s/he will be here! Enjoy these last few days/weeks. Go to a movie, go out to dinner, do whatever. Also, keep in mind your first request after delivery meal. I didn't have Charlie until 11:24pm so once I got to 10 centimeters, Joe ordered a few pizzas to have ready for once she was here since the kitchen and restaurants would be closed. That first bite of pizza and apple juice... Oh man, amazing :)
