Baby Bump Report: Week 38

Instagram Post:  House cleaned, bags packed, nursery ready.  Come on Ava Kate  #10days  #readyornot  #soexcited

How far? Week 38

What's baby up to?  Ava Kate is about 6 and half pounds and 19 and half inches long.  She's still head down, very active, and getting lower and lower.  Can't wait to meet this sweet baby girl!

Weight gain?  So I'm down 2 lbs since my last appointment... which means I gained about 1/2 a lb in 2 weeks as opposed to 3 lbs in a week.  I knew the nurse should've let me pee before weighing me!  That means I've put on about 23 lbs total.

Maternity clothes?  Clearly.

Symptoms?  Dropping, Braxton hicks (but they aren't very often or regular)... otherwise, I'm feeling pretty normal.

Sleep?  I'm sleeping pretty good considering I wake up 2-4 times a night to pee... but I'm feeling pretty rested - knock on wood.

Food cravings? Still craving cold stuff like fruit, veggies, ice cream, & popsicles.

Food aversions? Not one.

Miss anything?  Not really :)

I'm feeling... great!  I feel rested and happy and ready.  It's so surreal - I definitely don't feel like I'm about to have a baby.  I expected to be nervous/anxious/scared/stressed/super uncomfortable... but I truly feel at peace and ready.  It's weird.  BUT, I'm so thankful!

Best moment of the week? Start of summer break!  Hanging out with my friend Carrie, getting pedicures with Amber & Amanda, and catching up with Roman while she was in town!

Looking forward to... snuggling our baby girl!  :)
