How far along: 38 Weeks
Gender: Girl!
Weight gain: 30 pounds
Stretch marks: No. (hooray!)
Belly button in or out: In!
Sleep: Worse. Heartburn is really the worst ever when trying to sleep!
Worst moment this week: Standing in the shower, watching my belly shake with baby hiccups and realizing these are probably my last moments being pregnant and experiencing this ever. Like ever ever.
Best moment(s) this week: Getting the last minute things done. Plus two play dates here at the house! Fun.
Miss anything: A non-acidic, non-radiating esophagus...
Ultrasound count to date: 17. Baby girl failed her NST for the second time on Tuesday and we had to do an extra ultrasound (BPP). She looked good: was practicing breathing, heart was strong, and she had good "gross body movement" (and I got a pic of her "full head of hair"). She passed her NST today, so we got to have on a regular fluid check on that visit, but they still looked for breathing, movement and heart rate. We're definitely in the home stretch!
Movement: Definitely happening, but definitely less. I think she's running out of room...
Cravings: Ice. Chocolate. Green smoothies.
Queasy or sick: Nope.
Looking forward to: Next Wednesday!! Feeling very ready to meet this baby girl!
**Weekly update from perinatolgist's office: On Tuesday, baby girl failed her NST for the second time, which means I got to see her again on ultrasound. Today, they had to buzz her again, but this time she passed! Everything looks good. Only one more NST on the day before her birth day!

I keep thinking about you. I am so excited for you to get to meet your baby girl. And I hope that everything goes smoothly at her birth. And that all these appointments and ultrasounds have prepared you and the doctors to give her the best start possible! (I mean, can you imagine not finding any of this out until her birth?) She's lucky to have you guys!
