How far along? 38 weeks
Baby's size? Watermelon
Sleep? Not going so well on the sleep front. For some reason, my hips start falling asleep after laying on them for a few hours. Its the strangest sensation.
Foods I am loving/hating? I'm really not hungry much these days. Its funny how its different it is week by week. I am craving fruit all of the sudden which is weird. Good news is its citrus season, so I've gotten some great local fruit at our farmers market!
Best moment this week? I had a fabulous surprise baby shower at work. They totally tricked me into thinking there was an emergency and when I raced into the conference room, I was shocked to see my whole office in there! There is another girl in my office who is due Feb 2, so it was actually a double shower for the two of us. She's having a boy and I'm having a girl, so the room was decorated half pink and half blue. It was so cute, and we had such a great time!!
Movement? She's still moving around a good deal, but the poor child is pretty squished in there!
Symptoms? I'm just horribly uncomfortable. When I stand too long my feet hurt, when I sit I feed like my lungs are squished and I can't breath, and when I'm laying down various parts of my body fall asleep. The only place I feel comfortable is in the bath, so I've been taking one a day for a couple of weeks now!
What I miss? Still day dreaming about my sushi dinner with a great glass of wine!!
What I'm looking forward to? I go in for my last weekly appointment this Thursday. Then on Tuesday Feb 2nd we go in for the c-section. I can't believe she'll be here so soon.
Emotions? Tired and excited!! I just can't believe I will actually be a mother in a few short days. Eeeek!
i have to say that i LOVE your "symptoms" this week. it's a PERFECT description of 38 weeks pregnant!
