Weight gain/loss: I actually lost 1.5 lbs. since my last appointment a week and a half ago. I'll take it! That gives me a total of 37 lbs.
Feeling: Pretty good all considering. It's getting harder to go from playing on the floor with Sean to standing or rolling over at night, but I'm feeling so much better than I did at this point with Sean.
Sleep: Some nights are good, others not so much. I've been getting up for middle of the night bathroom breaks and Sean sometimes feels the urge to wake up in the middle of the night. But, Scott has been a saint about letting me push off of his body to turn onto the other side.
Food cravings: Cookies. So, we made peanut butter cookies last week and chocolate chip ones with cake mix today. And I had a random thought pop in my head of one of those Cookies by the Crate or Cookies by Design...whatever they're called!
Movement? Movement has slowed down since Evan doesn't have much room in there. But, it's funny because even my OB pointed out today that, luckily he's head down still, but the rest of his body is all curled up on my right side. I don't feel any movement and haven't in a long time on my left. I can actually feel limbs move across now and people have seen movement through my shirt, which is pretty exciting and impressive for an anterior placenta.
What I miss? I know I'm going to miss being pregnant when this is over, especially since this is most likely our last. But, right now, I'm missing everything! Normal clothes, sleeping on my back, a beer, being able to get Cider from Plymouth Orchards (since it's not pasteurized, but thank God they don't open for another week).
Best moment this week: We had a very relaxing fall-like weekend Up North that we spent as our last get-away as a family of three. But, I also had a great appointment today where my blood pressure was great, lost weight, baby is head down, and the doc gave me the sheet of paper with all the instructions for knowing that you're in labor. As I left she said, "Maybe we won't even see you next week for your appointment". While that's wishful thinking, it really put me in a good mood.
What I'm looking forward to: Oddly enough, I'm looking forward to going back to work next week and seeing my colleagues. It's been an amazing summer home with Scott and Sean, but I always start getting antsy at this point to go back...
Next Appointment: Next Thursday, August 30th at 1:50pm with Dr. Garcia. It was darn near impossible to schedule an appointment a week away with their schedule at the practice and me going back to work.
Milestones: Baby Evan is busy packing on the pounds. He's weighing in roughly around 6 lbs. and is almost 19 inches long. He's busy preparing for his big debut!
And just for fun...an extra pic this week that sums up my feelings about the rest of this pregnancy...
