39 Weeks



This is the day I would've had Sterling. I was induced a week early with him because my OB was awesome and knew I needed to schedule when my mom would come into town :) And I was already dilated to a 3. Read his birth story HERE.

How far along?: 39 weeks exactly


Total weight gain: 27 pounds

How big is baby?: The size of a watermelon (18.9-20.9 inches, 6.2-9.2 pounds)

Maternity clothes?: When I'm forced to wear clothes (it's sooooooo hot here), I'm in gym shorts. 

Movement: A little less than usual. Maybe that baby's finally running out of room.

Stretch marks?: I'm starting to think I have a few around my belly button, but I'm not sure. I guess we'll see what it looks like after the belly goes away.

Sleep?: Sleeping horribly still. 

Symptoms?: Heartburn :(

Food cravings: Soda

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach

What I'm looking forward to: My mom finally booked a flight and will be here Tuesday! Hopefully the baby comes soon after!

Best Moment this week: I've been nesting like crazy the past few weeks. A couple months ago we bought a big kitchen table and 6 chairs on Craigslist for super cheap with the intention of painting them. Well, we procrastinated, but last week we finally finished it! And it looks sooooo good. I was getting so stressed out about it being done before the baby came. 


Before

After
Don't mind the Cheerios on the floor under the table...

I've been getting a lot of other cleaning and organizing done too, so I'm feeling more prepared for this baby to come. Of course I wouldn't be me if I wasn't stressing a little though.

38 Weeks

On the pregnancy timeline, I had Savannah today. I was induced exactly 2 weeks early with her, which is making me more anxious. I didn't have to just sit around and wait to go into labor and the suspense is killing me! Read her birth story HERE.

How far along?: 38 weeks exactly

Total weight gain: 25 pounds

How big is baby?: The size of a pumpkin (18.9-20.9 inches, 6.2-9.2 pounds)

Maternity clothes?: More like men's clothes. It kills me every time I see adorable clothes at Target.

Movement: Painfully frequent movement

Stretch marks?: no

Sleep?: Sleeping horribly. I'm way too uncomfortable. It's been taking me about an hour to fall asleep.

Symptoms?: Same old, same old

Food cravings: Soda

What I miss: Being comfortable 

What I'm looking forward to: My mommy being here and, obviously, my baby being here. Hopefully sooner than later. 

Best Moment this week: I'm 1cm dilated and 50% effaced, which isn't that exciting, but it means things are happening.
