Baby’s size: Approximate height and weight of Simone Biles.
Total weight gain / loss: I don't know and I'm feeling way too lazy to go get my scale out and actually get up off the couch - honestly I don't even really care at this point. It's a lot, that's all I need to know.
Maternity clothes: I'm lucky MOST of them still fit.
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: We're running at about 50/50 on good nights vs bad nights.
Loving: That Adelyn made it to my first contracted work day, qualifying me for my 2 weeks short term disability!
Loathing: Feeling less and less competent to do much of anything without it taking immense effort or back pain.
Missing: I'm really excited for that first post-pregnancy drink!
Movement: She may be running out of room, but she doesn't act like it! Still moving around like a little gymnast in there.
Cravings: Nothing crazy... I still enjoy my ice cream and milk, but don't feel as desperate for it as I used to.
Aversions: Fish has still remained off the dinner menu for weeks now, but nothing really other than that.
Labor signs: I woke up every morning with really bad cramps this week (and wondering if they were some form of "pre-labor" contractions). Nope. And of course I went to bed last night convinced that it would be "the" night, only to have my first solid night of sleeping really well in a while and no cramps at all in the morning - I feel farther from labor than I did all week! The Braxton Hicks contractions are definitely continuing and coming more often... but nothing really indicating labor is any closer than it has been.
Symptoms: My back and hips hurt a LOT, and it really only takes about 30 seconds to a minute of being on my feet (if that - sometimes it's literally the moment I stand up) to feel like I've been on them all day long. Still dealing with heartburn on the regular. The WORST symptom right now though is my hiccups... you're thinking - hiccups aren't that bad... but I've had them, no joke, for the last two weeks straight and I feel like I'm going to go insane if they don't stop soon! Mike can verify that they've been the cause of a lot of frustration and curse words lately.
Exercise: Sadly couldn't make it to my yoga class this week (but for a good reason - I filled the empty room in my rental property and the best time for the girl to sign her lease was the same time as my yoga class). Mike and I went on a 1.5 mile walk this morning - not gonna lie, it kinda felt like torture, but we're determined to start getting baby moving!
Belly button: Still not popped.
Wedding rings: No change here.
Mood: Same as the last weeks/months... I'm good most of the time, but definitely sensitive and emotional given the right situation.
Husband: Is getting excited to meet our little one - we've finished everything that needed to be ready before Adelyn's arrival, so we're both just kind of in this limbo where it's hard to make plans and waiting on Adelyn to be on her way at any given moment.
Can't wait for: I'm terrified of labor, but can't wait to meet Adelyn! And apparently there's only one way out of this....
42 weeks pregnant:
