Sleep? Sleep is elusive at term. When I can get somewhat comfortable, I can sleep for short stretches in between bathroom breaks.
Symptoms? Lots! Aches and pains, sinus congestion, waddling (ha!).
Food cravings? Protein, especially nut butters! Still this.
Food aversions? Heartburn has picked up again, so I'm avoiding anything spicy.
Labor signs? More and more BH contractions, lots of "zingers" and leg pains/numbness.
Belly button in or out? All the way out.
What I miss? Not being so exhausted. Oh wait, that won't change for a few months.
What I'm looking forward to? We are finally wrapping up the last few "must dos" on the to do list this week. It will be nice to have the bulk of really important stuff out of the way.
Milestones? Baby is really low and engaged. Could mean absolutely nothing, but seems exciting nonetheless!
High? I'm feeling so much better after being sick and have had a burst of energy and gotten quite a bit accomplished over the past couple of days.
Low? I'm so exhausted and whenever I take some time to rest, it just never seems to refresh me enough.
Bump? I have dropped!
38 weeks
I can't believe that we are just a few days away from being full term with this baby. I'm definitely uncomfortable and feeling more pregnancy related pains than I did when I was pregnant with Gideon. But, as excited as I am about meeting this new little one, I have a different perspective on the changes that will come after birth. So, I'm also enjoying the last few days before our world is turned upside down again. Sometimes the waiting and anticipation are what makes the event itself even more special.
