39 weeks

How far along? 39 Weeks
Total weight gain: 22 pounds (lost 2 this week)
Gender: Girl

Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks?  Still one

Sleep: Not getting any better 
Best moment this week? Enjoying the warmer weather and getting out for walks
Miss Anything?  Wearing capri’s.  Even with the nice weather, swollen ankles DO NOT look good with capri’s on.
Movement:  much calmer the past few days.  I still get my 10 movements within 2 hours twice a day, so doc says no concern
Food cravings: chocolate
Anything making you queasy or sick: Feeling nauseas again, but not from a trigger of smells, just in general
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: same as last week, plus I’ve started getting headaches that last a few hours.  (just found out today that I can take 1000 mg of Tylenol three times a day…I’ve only been taking 500 mg once a day when I absolutely feel I need it.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody L
What I’m looking forward to:  (still) deciding on a middle name!  Meeting this baby!


I’m pretty sure we won’t be meeting baby this week.  I’m 1 cm and she’s still sitting pretty high.  My blood pressure was higher today than normal, so I’ll keep an eye on symptoms for preeclampsia now.  Hopefully next week, it will be back down to normal.  Normal for me is 120s/70s, today we tested twice.  1st was 154/95, 2nd was 138/85.  Because it went down, it’s fine.  I have an appointment set for next Tuesday, which doc is sure I’ll be at.  That’s ok.  I’ve heard that babies that are overdue are “easier” babies and don’t have as many issues that you could deal with babies that come earlier.  We’ll see.


That’s it…Have a great day!
