week 38

"Congratulations! Your baby is the size of a leek!" or is it actually the size of a...I dont' know...a baby?!? This week Jameson should weigh 6lbs 11oz if she is growing on track with what the US tech weighed her at PLUS the half pound of weight gain per week! Why would this help me know what my baby is the size of???

So dumb. They should use something I can relate to...like kitten and puppy sizes. "Your baby is the size of a 2 month old goldendoodle!" That would make way more sense.

 This is my only photo for the week and it's not even a good one. Will snapped this when I took a 4 hour nap on Sunday...Rose is surely going to be disappointed when his spot is taken by a human baby...poor guy!!

Here's how best friends nap together!

Total weight gain:  38lbs...no weight gain this week. Dr. Hauschka said it was okay though since I seem to be gaining in clusters now.

Maternity clothes? I'm moving to dresses and leggings only....dresses are getting shorter and shorter the more my belly grows! I keep waiting for it to be cold enough for my boots but I fear that won't happen until after she comes!

Stretch marks?  Yes, I'm tempted to delete this section....

Sleep:  I had some sweet night terrors the other evening. I woke up and SWORE our room had smoke in it. I turned on all the lights and freaked out. Will slept right through it. He is already in-training to sleep through all baby noises and conveniently "not hear them". Just like he sometimes "can't smell" when the baby's diaper  kitty litter needs to be changed. I'm on to you, guy!

Best moment this week: I went to a vendor fair this week at work, which was outside (a 200 yard walk from my cube to the parking lot), and a lady congratulated me on "walking around" this far into pregnancy. I thought she was messing with me. But she gave my coworker and me free gifts for that great accomplishment! Haha! I'll take it! People are weird. Or maybe it is an accomplishment?!!? I didn't have to stop to pee on the way sooooooooooo....

Miss Anything: Yea, I miss that part of pregnancy where I'm not thinking every little thing is a sign of labor. I apologize in advance to all my postpartum friends that I text with questions alllll day!

Movement:  Yep, still lots of movement!

Food cravings: Nothing AND everything. Just depends on my day.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  I say it every time but that dang reflux. I can't think of anything more disgusting than bending over to get my purse and then my mouth all the sudden filling with whatever the hell reflux is....stomach acid maybe???

Gender: Still a girl hopefully!

Symptoms:  Tired from walking, sitting, standing, thinking about walking, and even tired from sleeping. It's such an event to get situated...I almost prefer just sleeping while sitting up. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy with a side of sweet panic-attacks thinking about being in charge of someone/something for the rest of my life.  Luckily, Will is always there to make me feel better by saying things like, "if you're bad...I'm going to be worse". Somehow that makes me feel better...and worse! Haha! That's what google is for though!?
