38.5 weeks with Baby #2

How far along? 38.5 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of a winter melon? I don't know. Huge! 

Total weight gain/loss: Like 40 pounds ;(

Maternity clothes? YES! only.

Sleep: What the heck is that? we have been sick for almost 2 solid months now. Between a GI bug and now upper respiratory being passed around, we are all a coughing, snotty mess. My Dr. said it's viral and will just have to go away on it's own! (Side note: never put your kid in daycare while pregnant. You'll get everything they do)

Best moment this week: Finding out my cervix is "very favorable" and I could go anytime! 

Movement: Everyone can see the movement now! He's twisting and turning and just rolling around like he'a slam dancing. 

Food cravings: Basically everything!

Food Aversions: Nah. 

Gender: We are having another boy! :)

Labor Signs: yes yes. Braxton Hicks everyday. 

Pregnancy symptoms: I've got some constipation, very mild swelling in my face and toes and hands (but not NEARLY as bad as with Benjamin! I think I'm moving around more this time). Leaky boobs... Braxton Hicks contractions every once in awhile. Heartburn city, pelvic pain, some GI bleeding due to a colitis flare from the GI bug we got... miserable. 

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: Being able to sleep!

What I am looking forward to: meeting our boy!

Upcoming appointments/events:  Tuesday!

Weekly Wisdom: Avoid daycare in winter, buy a good exercise/birthing ball to work that baby down!

Milestones: Baby is in position! He's low, I'm 3cm dilated and 50% effaced! He's head down and preparing for launch!
