How far along? 38 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 12kg gain
Total weight gain/loss: 12kg gain
Maternity clothes? Still just maternity pants or stretchy banded pants and stretchy and lose tops. Being off work is great for being able to wear almost anything big and baggy! I even cruise around in pj bottoms some days! Bliss!
Stretch marks? They continue to pop up everywhere on the underneath of my belly. I am not looking forward to seeing what they look like post baby belly! Fingers crossed all this bio oil I have been using does something!
Sleep: Sleep has actually been ok this week! Still not as great as sleeping without a giant bowling ball up my top but I think I am finally getting use to sleeping on my side.
Best moment this week: My blind for the baby’s room finally arrived so now the room is complete! I have cleaned and tidied the room all up so now, so all I am waiting for is a baby to put in there!! Hurry up!!!
Miss Anything? I probably do and I don’t even realise it now. It feels like I have been pregnant for so long I can’t remember what it is like not to be pregnant and feeling “normal” so maybe that's what I miss - being normal.
Movement: HEAPS! He/she sure loves to rock about in my belly!
Food cravings: Anything and everything
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not a thing!
Gender: It’s a Mystery…
Labour Signs: Other than some pelvic pain nothing else much has been happening! Had a midwife appointment yesterday (Thursday) and baby wells apparently isn't even near engaged ready to come out! We talked about a possible planned c-section if he/she still hasn't made it's way into the pelvis in the next week or so....will have to wait and see what happens! So I'm hanging out for my next midwife appointment (next Wednesday) to see if there is any progress. If it is still just happy hanging around in my belly I will then have to see the Dr who will make the final decision whether this baby will be able to come out naturally or not. Not sure how I feel about a planned c-section, I always thought that I would go into labour, then if I needed a c-section half way through that then so it must be, but the thought of actually not even experiencing the feeling of going into labour or the excitement of my waters breaking etc - I would feel kind of robbed of those emotions. BUT if it is best for both me and the baby then I'm all for it! Also in the back of my mind I kind of like the thought of having a planned "delivery"date and not having to go through a long labour to meet the little one, it will be a (hopefully) quick and easy c-section. There are both pros and cons for both delivery options, at the end of the day I just want to meet a healthy baby wells! AND like my midwife said "nature does incredible things" baby wells might kick into gear and just rush down into the pelvis - only time will tell! Either way I will have a beautiful baby within the next 3 weeks!
Belly Button in or out? Out!!

Belly Button in or out? Out!!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on although I should take them off, my hands randomly swell up sometimes!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy Happy Happy! I just can’t wait to get this little nugget out of me and meet him/her!! With only 2 weeks to go I find myself just waiting waiting waiting for the big event to happen!
Looking forward to: My next midwife appointment and the tub of choc-chip ice cream I just bought! Yummo!
Oh and just so you know - there was no mothers day present waiting for me last weekend - apparently carrying a baby in my belly doesn't count! Darn! I'll make up for it next year!!
And lastly a Basil update - Poor little man had to go back to the vets Tuesday just gone and have the remaining part of his tail removed - now he only has about a 1cm stump to show for a tail. I think he looks rather cute with his little stump, but he still has the cone on his head and is in lock down for a few more weeks to come waiting for that to heal. He should make a full recovery now! Phew!
