How far along: 39 Weeks, 0 days - and going in for our C section [made it to 40w3d with C before I went into labor; made it to 39w0d with A and was induced]
Gender: Girl!
Weight gain: 30 pounds [40-ish pounds with C; 40 pounds with A]
Stretch marks: Not this time, nor any other time. [The small stretch marks on my hips (from mission weight gain) turned red with C, but never did anything this time or with A.]
Belly button in or out: In! [as it has been each time.]
Worst moment this week: Trying to put lotion on my legs post-shower is pretty laughable, and makes me feel pretty "done". And feeling my feet swell with water is never really that fun! But the worst is the anxiety that threatens to swallow me up if I let it take hold. So I don't let it. I push it away. As I told M, I can fall apart afterward, in the "privacy" of my hospital room.
Best moment(s) this week: It was pretty great laying on the boys' bed trying to get A back to sleep in the wee hours of Saturday morning and being able to pop both hips! BUT, hands down, the best EVER is gonna be TODAY!
Miss anything: My more "slender" feet and legs. [Swelling was the very worst with C; better with A; and best this time around!]
Ultrasound count to date: 17. [I'd really be interested in finding out how many I had with C and how many with A. But I'm too lazy to go find those pics in their albums and count them. I think they're about the same - between 4 and 6 each.]
Movement: It's still pretty regular, but also less.
Cravings: On Saturday, I wanted an A&W root beer float. I settled for a Sonic blended float instead. On Sunday, I wanted Almond Roca. [With C, I craved chili dogs and with A, it was sweets; this time, it's been all over the map. But yeah, sweets.]
Queasy or sick: Nope. :)
Looking forward to: Meeting baby in a few hours' time!!
