Updates from last time:
1: We are still pregnant!
2: We had maternity pictures taken and they turned out really cute, I only have 2 back for a preview so far! They were taken by Ryan Tutino Photography at a local park. We cant wait to see the rest! She will also be doign our newborn photos once baby girl is here, so excited for newborn photos!
3: My house is progressively getting deep cleaned 1 little chore at a time
4: Everything looked really good at the 37 week appointment. Baby is healthy, my body is prepping for labor better than we expected, and there is hope that i wont go into post dates! yay!
5: our garden apparently thinks that september is the month for every tomato to turn red.... weird but we have lots of tomatoes!
So what are we doing to get this baby out....
well i ate eggplant and pineapple. both of which they say will put you in labor. Ive been walking and taking evening primrose oil (which helps to soften your cervix). Today im planning to make labor inducing cookies. Hopefully all of these things eventually lead to a baby! But i also fully understand that she will come when she wants.
Now for the weekly Stats!
How many weeks: 38 weeks and 2 days today.
This week baby is...... about 19-20 inches?? who really knows at this point.
This week our baby weighs..... well this is a big question as always. When i had my last appointment at 37 weeks and 3 days my doctor scanned her at 8lbs, which is the 90th percentile. thats a little larger than we had measured her before. And of course measurements are always give or take a pound. He said he thinks if anything she is smaller than 8 lbs. Hopefully we find out soon!! either way we have a very healthy baby!
This week baby girl....Is settling in for the trip out! She is running out of room and moving less (there isnt any room for her to do much except roll around a little here and there). She should be moving lower and lower each day, which gives me more room to breath. yay! But contributes to that wonderful end of pregnancy waddle that we all know so well. (Im not enthused with my waddle walking these days).
Boy or girl? GIRL!!!
Total weight gain/ loss: +30-35 ish. Hopefully we stay about right here.
Showing: yep
Maternity Clothes: Definitely in maternity clothes now.
Best moment this week: the best moments of this week have been all about anticipation. Brad told me the other day "im a little creeped out by this hospital bag business". which i thought was very funny. And he now proceeds to text me everyday asking if i am in labor yet. Daddy is getting excited!!
I have had some contractions ( at least i think i have) but nothing that is enough to be real labor. But hey those little ones help too..
Food cravings: nothing, im just trying to avoid junk food.
Miss anything?: Sushi!! beer and wine! everything else i have seemed to find an adequate substitute for but nothing can replace sushi!
Anything making you sick: still a little heartburn here and there. and of course the crappy sleeping.
Pregnancy symptoms: third trimester tiredness....... the tired is horrible lately. After i work 2 days in a row it takes me at least one full day of doing nothing to recover and then i end up being way less productive than i wanted. But things are getting done a little at a time. Lately ive just been focusing on cleaning house and schoolwork.
Gender prediction: It's a Girl!
We call our baby: Adrienne Elizabeth Gochnauer is her name!
Looking forward to: Having a baby girl! hopefully sooner rather than later! And maybe going to the puyallup fair this weekend, if we arent having a baby.
Until Next Week,
Shyla
