Almost full term, for real full term


How far along: I'll be 40 weeks in 2 days, making this the longest I've ever been pregnant.

Total weight gain: 39 lbs on Monday

Baby's weight: Continuing to grow each day he/she is baking

Baby's Heart rate: 150's on Monday

Sleep: Back to having a cold, go figure. I'm being a super nervous Nelly about this baby getting sick. The flu (like the real live Influenza A and B) are rampid here, it's insane and it's making me insane...especially since I'm the one who's currently coughing, haking and blowing my nose.

Best moment of the week: Taking a couple of well needed mental health days, it's not like I did anything fantastic, I just took some me time.

Gender: who knows! I keep going back and forth.I honestly think I'll be shocked though if it's a girl.

Names: Mariah Jade or Luca Ryan

Movement: It's slowed down a little today more so than it has in the past.

Food cravings: I'm still kind of over food. I'm also hungry all of the time.

Labor signs: I've had cervical pain since yesterday when I had Dr Carlson strip my membranes... which by the way, hurt like hell! I seriously almost came off of the table it hurt so bad. So today (TMI, consider that your warning) I've been losing my mucus plug. I never lost it with Grayson, only with Bella and only after my water had already broke. It's quite gross honestly. I keep thinking I'll go into labor today or tomorrow... we'll see!

Dilation: As of Monday, no real progress so to speak of in the last week. Still 1.5 cm and my cervix is still thick and closed. He did say that the head is down further than it was the week before so I guess that's a bonus.

Belly button: I can't believe it's not an outie at this point.

What I miss: Not having a damn cold so not fair to be this pregnant with a cold!

What I'm looking forward to: Going into real live labor, I'm starting to wonder if this kid will be  baking until he/she is 4 and come out walking/talking with a full set of teeth!

~This mama is SOOOOO pregnant and ready to pop!

Each baby is different. This baby just needs to cook all the way to be good to go. :)
