How far along? 37w 1d
Total weight gain? apx 25lbs
Maternity clothes? Absolutely, even had to go buy more t-shirts since Mother Nature turned up the heat on us last week (umm, Mother Nature why is it 90 the first week of April?!?).
Stretch marks? A few, not too bad so far.
Sleep? Not great. I'm usually up every hour or so to pee.
Food cravings? None really, but man did I eat a LOT of Easter candy this week!
Belly button? Slowly making its way out.
Gender? Girl. Unless Baby plans on surprising us!
Labor signs? None so far.
Best moment this week? Just continuing to feel Baby move around :o)
What I miss most? Being able to sleep on my back or get into a really comfy position at night.
What I look forward to? Meeting Baby.
Milestones? We're basically full-term and I'm just so grateful we've made it to this point.
On a sad note, we found out this week that a couple from our birthing class had their baby boy March 23 but that he passed away April 1. The pregnancy went great, no complications and baby was full term, but he was in respiratory distress at birth. He was diagnosed with lactic acidosis (his body couldn't breakdown glucose, a fatal genetic glitch), and spent his short life in the NICU before his little heart gave out... My heart breaks for this family, I just don't even know how I would make it through what they are enduring...
