Pregnancy Update: 38 Weeks

It’s hard to believe that I am 38 weeks.  Say what?!  With both Annabelle and Autumn this was the last chalkboard I did, as they were both born a week early.  I went into labor at 38 weeks and 5ish days with both of them.  I wonder if it will be the same with this one, which has me freaking out a bit (read a lot).

How far along: 38 weeks

Baby Size:  Baby girl is as big as a winter melon (or about 7 pounds)

Symptoms:  I’ve been having some lower back pain here and there.  And I’ve just been feeling a bit off.  Yesterday I was have some wierd cramp like pains, but nothing regular.  It’s been about 6 years since I’ve felt labor pain, since I never actually had any contractions with Autumn.  My water broke, but labor never progressed (which is why I ended up with a c-section).

Movement: She is still moving around in there.  

Miss Anything: Wine, not feeling out of breath from walking up the stairs.  Be able to sleep on my back.

Best thing from the Week: I got to hang out with some peeps from the Detroit Moms Blog on Tuesday for a cookie decorating party.  Then today I’ll be going to a Jingle Mingle with a bunch of the contributors.  It should be pretty fun! 

Big Sisters: They are getting so excited about meeting baby #3.  Annabelle keeps asking me how many days left.  In reality I think they are more excited about having “three sleep overs” with Mimi. 

Getting Worried About:  The fact that I could go into labor at any time now.  I really hope to get through next week, as I have a holiday party with my Moms Club which is where the girls will get to see Santa.  Annabelle also can’t buckle herself into her car seat (she is still in a five point harness).  Since she will be moved to the back, she has to be able to do it on her own, since I can’t crawl back to help for 6-8 weeks.
