How far along? 38 weeks - at our growth scan this past week Baby T was estimated to weigh 6lbs 4 oz & should be over 19 inches long
Symptoms: Lower back pain & abdominal cramping with contractions started this week. The heartburn/reflux is much better since he has dropped a bit & I have really noticed a "slow down" in my movements & energy this week!
Weight gain/loss: 0 lbs +/- at my appt last week - holding steady at 22 lbs gained so far
Maternity clothes? oh yes - all the time
Sleep: Still going good. Not too uncomfortable yet - still get up a couple of times during the night!
Food cravings/aversions: my appetite has really slowed this week so not really having any cravings of anything specific
Movement? All the time. Not as many kicks but can feel him rolling all around. SO strange to watch my belly when he is moving! Looks like a little alien is trying to get out of my tummy :)
What I miss: being able to bend over to do simple things
Best moment(s) this week: my blood pressure's have been stable so no unexpected early delivery of Baby T
What I'm looking forward to: meeting this little guy :)
Next appointment: Wed, Jan 23rd - weekly biophysical ultrasound, NST check & OB visit
Milestones: Baby T has a firm grasp, which we'll soon be able to test when we hold his hand for the first time! His organs have matured & are ready for life outside the womb - which isn't too far away!
