38 Weeks

How far along: 38 weeks, 5 days
Size comparison: Baby Hawk is about the size of a bunch of a leek - 19.5 inches long, almost 7 pounds!

Baby nickname: Baby H.
Baby bump:  Still huge, but changing shape.  Bryce and I thought it was funny to see how the baby's change in position made my bump size appear smaller (last week my bump looked ginormous!)

Gender Prediction:  I am still mostly indifferent, but my vote sways toward boy

Weight gain: 35-ish pounds, varies depending upon how swollen I am! 

Maternity clothes: Living in dresses until Baby Hawk's birth day! 

Stretch marks: If I have any, I can't see them!

Belly button in or out: In.

Wedding rings on or off:   Off.  

Best moment this week:  Doctors appointment!  And having Grandma (Nona) Hays and Great Grandma Pigneri prepare some frozen meals for after Baby H's arrival!  No cooking necessary for this momma!  Annnnd, ridiculous amounts of nesting has left me with an ultra organized closet, every piece of clothing I own clean, a spotless master bathroom and bedroom.

Worst moment this week: Getting even less sleep!  Carpal tunnel has gotten a little worse as well.

Miss anything:  Shoes that fit.  For real, I'm over this swelling. 

Movement:  Movements are changing... Baby is running out of room and constantly trying to stretch for more room.

Cravings:  Fruity anything!  I have a new found love for 7-11 blue raspberry and wild cherry slurpees! 

Queasy or sick:  The usual heartburn!

Labor signs:  Braxton-hicks contractions getting stronger and more frequent!  Dilated 1.5-2 cm and 100% effaced.

Happy or moody: Happy!!!

Looking forward to:  Contractoins, water breaking... Some sort of sign we will get to meet our baby soon!
