39 Week Bumpdate (LAST one!)

Well, here we are at 39 weeks, which given this week's events, means that it is simultaneously Aubrey's birthday (separate post to come!).

How Big is Baby: The size of a watermelon!

Weight Gain: According to the MD scale, I am up 6.5 overall (after losing a half lb this week). Either way, I will have 38.5 lbs to lose to get back to pre-pregnancy (with Bella) weight! Oh Boy!

Workouts: Slowing down this week big time, partly b/c I am so tired, and partly b/c it was a holiday week so things weren't as normal in our schedule. Either way, I did a couple of birthing ball workouts and 2 mile long walks.

Maternity Clothes: Definitely need them, although with my torso being short, I still wear regular shirts that I'm probably stretching out like crazy!

Belly Button: For sure an outie!

Sleep: Falling asleep around 9 or 9:30, but waking up at 2 or 3 to pee, and often not getting back to sleep til 4 or 5.  If I do go back to sleep at 4, I'm up for the day at 5 or 6 (on days that I'm lucky!).

Cravings: Nachos, chicken pesto ravioli, bread, sweets particularly ice cream.

Aversions: The only thing that sounds disgusting to me is ground beef or ground turkey.

What I Missed: A big glass of cabernet with Thanksgiving dinner.

Symptoms: Nausea (what!?), crazy bad heartburn, pelvic pain, fatigue, and all over body pains with lower back being crazy bad!

Movement: Girlie's movements still are more than Bella, although it's getting tighter and tighter in there!  

Gender: It's a GIRL!

Best Moment this Week: Getting to celebrate Thanksgiving and a long weekend with the family which was a good mixture of fun, relaxing, and getting a ton of stuff done (to prepare for c-section recovery, as opposed to VBAC).

Worst Moment this Week: Having to schedule the c-section 2 weeks before planned, and not being able to try at a VBAC.

What I am Looking Forward to: Meeting our beautiful little Aubrey Lynn!
