This week's confession:
How big is baby: honeydew
Weight gain/loss: + about 35 pounds... blah
Food cravings: cereals and random things that I see/hear/think about
Symptoms: feeling very uncomfortable, especially my hips and pelvis even after just a little bit of activity; tired
Stretch marks: I don't believe so, but I don't want to jinx myself
Maternity clothes: oh ya
Sleep: I wake up early and have a hard time getting back to sleep; getting comfortable is difficult; overall it isn't too bad though... I could do it pretty much all day
Best moment this week: getting the house pretty clean (still some places to organize/clean but the common areas are looking much better)
Sex: girl
Movement: yep - definitely more stretching nowadays, though I do have moments where I think she's doing gymnastics
Belly button: the top is starting to stick out :-( My husband feels the need to touch it all of the time
Labor signs: BH, cramping, and some of the lovely mucous plug showed up while wiping
What do you miss: sleeping on my back/stomach... not getting exhausted after doing simple tasks
What are you looking forward to this week: We're going to see Bill Maher on Saturday and have a nice dinner beforehand
Something interesting about this week: I'm turning 30 tomorrow... mixed feelings about that!
This week's confession: I'm ready to boot some of these animals out the door... as we get closer to having our baby girl here, I get so annoyed/angry with accidents and hair! UGH! No wonder my blood pressure was up at my last appointment.
How big is baby: winter melon I think?
Weight gain/loss: at last appointment, +19 since 8 weeks
Food cravings: pizza, pasta, carby goodness, sweets. Summer fruits like watermelon, peaches, etc.
Symptoms: Really sore and achy. Lightning crotch. Not sleeping very well most nights. Hot all the time. Heartburn off and on.
Stretch marks: Same ones as usual, although I keep checking every morning to see if new ones have popped up.
Maternity clothes: Yes! love them.
Sleep: not so great this week. The side that I lie on gets really sore, even with a pillow between the legs. Propping any other pillows doesn't seem to help because I get too hot and throw them off. Also, getting up 2-3 times during the night to pee.
Best moment this week: TODAY, hitting 37 weeks and realizing it could technically happen any moment!
Sex: It's a boy!
Movement: Yup, I love feeling it - lots of pushes. When he kicks now it's super strong and sometimes painful!
Belly button: sticking way out and looking hilarious.
Labor signs: Not sure. I don't think I've ever had a Braxton hicks contraction. I will find out on Thursday if anything is happening down there! But I had menstrual-like cramps and back pain yesterday for a long time. No loss of mucous plug or bloody show.
What do you miss: pretty much just drinking.
What are you looking forward to this week: Appointment on Thursday, day off on Friday!
Something interesting about this week: Um...my colleague is still out on vacation so I'm still totally slammed at work? Is that interesting? :P
This week's confession: I have not been buying this sangria that my husband really loves to drink because I see him drinking it and get sad wanting to drink it. ha!

Belly button: innie
Labor signs: BHs and cramping
What do you miss: sleep
What are you looking forward to this week: getting our glider! Its on its way
Something interesting about this week: finally working from home until baby is here!
This week's confession: While I am not nervous about labor, I'm nervous I am going to GET nervous! I am so excited I'm just ready for her to be here, but every day I start worrying about being closer and getting nervous about the labor. Its a little bit strange of a mindset.
How big is baby: Honeydew melon?
Weight gain/loss: +3 in addition
Food cravings: Dying for a dairy queen ice cream cone... seriously I talk about it at least once a day
Symptoms: Heartburn and lots of contractions these days
Stretch marks: definitely there...
Maternity clothes: Of course - but now the full belly panel isn't going up quite as high so that's awkward.
Sleep: Yep other than a lot more hip pain then I had been having
Best moment this week: Getting to see little boy's face on the ultrasound. He had the worlds cutest chubby cheeks
Sex: a boy!
Movement: Lots of pushing and kicking - he's definitely running out of room
Belly button: Still in but almost flat.
Labor signs: Lots of contractions but I'm pretty sure they are braxton hicks since they don't hurt. I'm hoping that when it's real labor I'll know for sure - as a FTM, I'm hesitant to go in to the doctor/hospital and have it be just false labor.
What do you miss: Being able to bend over to pick stuff up without having to do an awkward squat.
What are you looking forward to this week: Getting to see little boy on the ultrasound again this Thursday.
Something interesting about this week: DH decided he needed his own diaper bag that was more manly. I thought it was adorable even though I doubt he'll ever remember to grab it...
This week's confession: I told work my feet were swelling and that's why I was wearing flip flops in the office... in reality, it was just because I wanted to wear flip flops! Oh well!
