Wow, time is just flying by now! I'm pretty much out of projects (although I keep finding sewing projects to make for Bennett to make my days more productive), the baby's room is ready, and we're one week away from "full term"! I'd like him to stay at least a week or two after that just to make sure he gets to cook as long as he needs to. I'm starting to get really really nervous/scared, mostly about the labor and delivery portion. I really want to avoid using an epidural/pitocin as long as possible, but I know that means that I'll experience more pain than if I went with the epidural right away. I'm not ruling out pain killers altogether, I just want to see how far along I can go without it. I'm not a pain med person by nature (I don't even really use anything for headaches or menstrual cramps) so we'll see how that goes....
I read someone else's blog recently who had gone into labor at 36 weeks (and 2 days), and that freaks me out a little bit. I know I have no control over when things start moving along, but that's really early! I haven't had a lot of issues with this pregnancy (thank goodness, I thank my lucky stars every day/night!) so I'm enjoying being pregnant. I know there are lots of changes in the very near future and I'm getting a bit apprehensive! I hope I make a good mommy!!!
How far along? 36 weeks
Weight gain/loss: Around 15 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Most definitely.
Stretch marks?Yes and I HATE them. But I knew I was destined to have them. I just hate how ugly they look.
Sleep? Still not sleeping much at night. I'm trying to curb my napping habits during the day but it's not working very well...
Best moment this week? Having Mark see the baby moving from the other side of the couch. When he gets moving, he's really all over the place!
Movement: Moving a lot! Some painful rolling from one side to the other, very strange feeling!
Food cravings: cheese, pizza, Reese's peanut butter cups, Reese's puffs cereal, ice cream...
Gender: BOY!
Belly button in or out? Mostly out now. My laproscopy surgery scar is making it look a little weird.
What I miss? Being able to sleep on my back!
What I am looking forward to? Meeting my little guy!
