Kelly Belly-38 weeks

How Far Along: 38 weeks!

Weight Gain:  somehow I lost 2 pounds this week!  so +28 total gained.  I feel like this entitles me to some rocky road tonight...y'all agree?!?

Doctor Appointment: everything was good.  No change from last week.  Her head is still VERY VERY VERY low...I am not kidding.  

Sleep: not great.  I start sleeping well at about 530 in the morning.  I have been having major reflux the past few days so that hasn't helped the sleeping either.  

Best Moment of the Week:  I got the pillows for the queen bed that is in her room this week.  So her room is pretty much finished besides hanging two things on the wall.  Look for a post later this week of her nursery :)

Stretch Marks: yes...see this post if you dare ;)

Movement:  yes she moves a lot.  I feel like she is stretching her legs out all the time.  It is really cute and I can't wait to see her do that in person!

Symptoms: lots and lots of reflux this week.  Not fun...


I am also peeing all the time.  I don't know if this was in my update last week and I am too lazy to look but I get up about every 45 minutes to an hour just to pee.  Then I start to pee and it is just a dribble.  I have to either lean to the left or lean forward to be able to empty my bladder.  Sometimes it won't empty no matter what I do.  This is a very strange and sometimes painful situation.  I honestly wish I could pee standing up...because it never fails when I stand up after I am "finished" peeing I have a huge urge to pee!  I really might try it...


I also have lots of pressure.  I feel like she is going to fall out every time I stand up....

What I Miss:  I love being pregnant even with all the difficult things...i.e. my peeing situation.  But I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss some things or rather look forward to some things when I'm not pregnant anymore.  I miss just being able to jump up and do things.  Oh you forgot to turn the oven off and now you are all settled in on the couch with your 15 pillows propping you up....HA HA!!!  You want your lip balm that is on your nightstand but you are all snuggled in again with 15 pillows facing the opposite way....HA HA!!!  Good luck reaching that!  Every movement that I make takes a while...so there is no "hopping up" to do anything.  

Gender:  our little princess Blakely Ann

What I'm Looking Forward to: just meeting her.  I will meet my daughter sometime within the next 14 days....UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Weekly Wisdom: don't get disappointed if you don't have any progress at the doctor.  I said I would never be like that but I can't lie...I was a little disappointed today when there was no change.  I should have no expectations since I have no control over this!!

Milestones:  38 weeks!  I can't believe it.....I am so ready to hold my sweet girl....


And here are some belly pics from this week!

 Does it look like she is falling out?  Because that is what it feels like....
