Another spot on {and hilarious} pregnancy report from AlphaMom that I just had to share:
- Is officially a little chunkin, at well over six pounds and 19 1/2 inches long.
- Is also officially considered “full term.” In other words, he or she is STRAIGHT UP FREELOADING from here on out.
- Is practicing making fists and fetal breathing in anticipation of life outside the womb.
You:
- Have probably had enough of this magical special time, thank you very much.
- Backaches, joint aches, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, Braxton-Hicks contractions, painful kicks, bladder pressure, stretch marks, itchy skin, swollen ankles, fatigue, dry mouth, mood swings, did I miss anything else in this cavalcade of late-pregnancy hilarity?
- Are alternating between crazy excitement about finally meeting your baby and crazy panic about oh my God, you’re finally going to meet your baby and they’re going to expect that you take it home and like, keep it alive and stuff.
Too funny, right?
Now for my update:

Size of the baby?
taking her last weight measurement and adding an ounce a day (which is what she should be gaining every day) she would weigh 6 pounds 10 ounces right now.

Maternity Clothes?
I have one pair of preggo jeans, a maternity dress, two maternity tops and three maternity tanks...other than that it's all NON-maternity because you all know my extreme hatred for maternity clothes.

Movement?
I am feeling A LOT more movement down low...little flutters, which I think are probably her hands? I'm hoping that the down low action means she's pushing her way down.

"they expect you to take it home, and keep it alive and stuff" -->> THIS> hahahaha. This will be my fear. Not killing a kitten is a lot easier than not killing a baby. oofta. you'll be great though! you're well read ;) haha
Not to scare you but my sister had her daughter at exactly 38 weeks!!! Holy crap!!! I am so excited for you! I love that she is a "chunkin". And don't be sad about weight gain, my sister gained 40lbs and lost it within 2 weeks...all she did was breast feed (she obvi couldn't workout since she had a C section). Youll pop back!
Awwwww sending you good sleeping vibes my friend!
YAY lil nugget is almost here!
xoxo
"My sleepless nights are currently sponsored by bathroom breaks (at least 3 a night), leg cramps and heartburn." ahahahahha aww you poor mama! you look amazing and baby girl will be here before you know it--all this will be just a distant memory!
your weight gain is all in the that belly and those boobs! Which after baby girl the belly will be gone! I think we are all as excited to meet her as you two!
She is SUCH a freeloader!!! ;-D It just hit me this morning that Baby Girl could come at ANY point!! So excited for you guys.
Hang in there- it's almost time! I love the line about taking her home. Don't stress about the weight, you've gained an ideal amount & remember about 20lbs of that is the baby, fluids, extra blood etc.
Thinking about u and can't wait to see u and my lil god daughter. Love u. Muuahz Xoxox
