Whoa nelly.- How far along? 39 weeks 3 days
- Weight Gain/Loss: fluctuated up a few pounds but still around the same
- Dr appointment: dilated 1.5cm, 50% effaced. Went ahead with the membrane sweep - not pleasant but could have been worse. Had some light cramping and twinges this afternoon but overall I feel better than expected - I even went for a walk with Luke and we installed the carseat and ran a few errands. Our doctor gave us our final drop date, so to speak - she will schedule an induction on March 5th at the latest, which will be 41 weeks and 1 day. She's the best - telling us she knows I don't want to be induced too early, and even though she's not on call that day she will be for us :)
- Sleep: I've been SO HOT at night lately! Like, sweat through my shirt and stick my head outside hot. Finally ditched the flannel sheets and hopefully that helps. I thought the night sweats were AFTER the baby?!
- Movement: plenty. I told our dr I don't feel any contractions ever and as I said that she pointed out that I was having one right then! Just a BH contraction, but I still couldn't even feel it. If only it stayed that way!
- Food Cravings: losing my energy for cooking so dinners have even random. Thank goodness for valentines day candy too!
- Food Aversions: nothing
- Belly Button: partially out still
- Stretch Marks: Nope but plenty of heparin bruises!
- Symptoms: the night sweats, the carpal tunnel pain is getting worse, and more cervical twinges. I tried switching my heartburn meds to something I had on hand (still approved) and the heartburn came back with a vengeance. Back to Prilosec ASAP.
- What I miss: sleeping through the night
- What I’m looking forward to: my first weekend home with Luke all month! He's finally off work for the first time in 3 weeks. We are planning on doing some things around the house, and celebrating my dad's birthday Sunday too (although it's tomorrow)
- Nursery update: done and done! I'll have to make a post about it, but I love how it turned out! Well to be honest, the crib skirt isn't done and the hooks behind the door need to be hung, but CLOSE ENOUGH! :) the crib skirt can happen whenever I get back to sewing and I just need a few nails from my dad's stash to hang the hooks.
We've made some big progress in the house as well! The list I made during a bout of insomnia last week is about halfway complete, thanks in huge part to my mom and Luke. She took off a day this week to accomplish some other things and spent the afternoon here knocking off some projects. We even tackled the family room, which has been our dumping ground, and it made a huge difference. I had my first pregnancy meltdown (the overwhelmed but no real reason kind) Monday and that prompted some actual accomplishments from Luke too! I cut him a lot of slack because of how much he works but he finally really pitched in during the evenings this week. I think I'm just making myself crazy sitting around the house thinking of all the things that need to be done, without having the energy to do it!
Loving the yoga ball these days
Our mirror is finally hung and the piles of junk are decreasing! The tv gets mounted this weekend too.
36 weeks and 39 weeks - huge difference! I can't even believe it!
