(I realize I'm posting this after E's birth, but I had left them sitting in my drafts lol oops!)
How far along? 37 weeks!
Total weight gain: Dropped 2 lbs this week... weird
Maternity clothes? I want to wear pajama's every day :)
Stretch marks? I think I have one (enter sob here) but it's not particularly noticeable and I'm hoping it just disappears after E is born lol
Best moment this week: Finding out that Ellia is no longer brain sparing (yay!!!) & getting our induction date! She should be here by Monday evening!
Miss Anything? SLEEP.
Movement: She is such a little dancer! & I can tell she's dropped because her kicks no longer nail me in the ribs haha
Food cravings: Nothing sounds good at this point. I get indigestion if I even look at acidic foods.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Just about everything
Gender: Little Lady
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks
Symptoms: Indigestion, nausea, back aches & side cramps.
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody when I'm not feeling so hot, but for the most part I'm happy & just so excited to meet Ellia!
Looking forward to: Meeting our baby girl! :)
(Update:
Last week we learned that Ellia has begun brain sparing. When the placenta doesn't provide a baby with the nutrients it needs to, it creates stress, so E's body has increased blood flow to her brain in order to protect it. Our hopes for tomorrow are that this stress has not increased & has hopefully decreased from what it was last week. Her status tomorrow will determine her birth date :))
How far along? 36 weeks!
Total weight gain: 23 lbs
Maternity clothes? Leggings & pajama's!
Stretch marks? I think I have a tiny one, but like I've said previous weeks, every time I think I see one & freak, it's gone the next time I look lol
Best moment this week: I would say the best moment was getting our fence up in the backyard! It's going to make it so much easier to let the dogs out to run around instead of taking them on walks :) I was starting to worry it wouldn't be up before Ellia's birth!
Miss Anything? A good nights sleep. I think I'm getting a little taste of E's schedule... If I've gone to bed before then, I wake up at midnight, 3:12 (yes that exact time almost every night) & between 5-6.
Movement: She's still pretty active! She really likes to nail me in the ribs ;)
Food cravings: NOTHING sounds good. Everything gives me insane indigestion and if I don't accompany every meal with tums, I'm a miserable mess. So this weeks craving is TUMS by default ;)
Anything making you queasy or sick: EVERYTHING... especially anything made with tomato sauce.
Gender: Little Lady
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks
Symptoms: Indigestion, nausea & back aches
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: So happy and so excited to meet our sweet baby girl!
Looking forward to: Hopefully we can look forward to good news at our appointment tomorrow & of course meeting Ellie Bellie!
E's first holiday will be Thanksgiving and she'll be dressed as festively as ever!
She'll wear this adorable onesie with brown baby legs & of course a coordinating headband :)
I've had my eye on the diaper cover below ever since I found out we were having a girl :) Maybe E will wear it in newborn pics, maybe christmas pics, or maybe both! & they will be adorable paired with this bugs + honey bow!
