Total weight gain/loss? About 7 pounds as of my last visit.
Maternity clothes? I'm content. Not much longer to be in them.
Best moment this week? having a nice quality night with just Brian!
Measurements? Still measuring behind but the doctor said it is because she is so low.
Belly Button? Flat!
Movement? Lots of sharp movements that cause sharp pain!
Food Cravings? I have not had much of an appetite lately.
Gender? Team Pink
What I miss? Being comfortable and not having contractions all the time!
What I am looking forward to? Seeing her little face and playing dress up!!
Milestones? By now your baby has likely reached his birth weight (typically between 6 and 9 pounds) and length (18 to 22 inches from head to toe). He's accumulated enough body fat to stay cozy after he's born, and your placenta continues to supply him with nutrients and antibodies that will help fend off illnesses. If you could sneak a peek at your baby's final moments before birth, you'd see that his head is down toward your pelvis (if he's not in the bottom-down or breech presentation, in which case your healthcare provider might suggest a cesarean section). Your baby's body will either be straight up and down, called longitudinal, or positioned at an angle, called oblique. Along with spying your baby's body position, if you could see his head, you'd notice that he's head-down and facing your spine, which is the most common position (called anterior presentation). But sometimes, babies present head-down but facing toward your abdomen. This is called occiput or cephalic posterior. Your baby might lean slightly to one side or the other, meaning that he is either "right" or "left" anterior, or "right" or "left" posterior.
Other Notes? This was the last appointment I made it to with Daniel because he was born at 39 weeks 2 days. I am already past that with her. Hopefully she is not as stubborn as her daddy!!!
