38 Weeks

At 38 weeks:

Size: Pumpkin. About 18.9-20.9 inches. 6.2-9.2 pounds.

Major Happenings: He may have about an inch or so of hair. He's slowly shedding the white goo on his skin. He's growing like crazy! I also had an appointment today. Last week the doctor said if he hadn't seemed to grow much that they'd like to do a growth ultrasound. So they measured me, and my stomach wasn't any bigger. So, they squeezed me in to make sure everything was okay in there. He seems to be measuring around 7 pounds! So, he's measuring 37 weeks, 6 days. He couldn't be more on point! The fluid levels in my uterus were a bit on the low-normal side, though. Normal is between 5 and 25 but mine were just about 5.2. SO all that to say I go back in 2 days to check the fluid levels, and then they'll decide if they want to go ahead and induce me at 39 weeks. WHAT?! That's next week. WOW! Also, we think Liam has fifth disease, so they're testing me there to make sure all is well. We've had a crazy couple of days. Mama tired.

What's Been Happening: Last minute details, of course! Finishing packing for the hospital and trying to keep things semi clean around here, so we can pick up and go when it's time! My to-do list keeps growing, so I'm trying to prioritize my tasks. Also, our sweet Liam has been sick for a couple of days and then had a run in with the stove yesterday. He has a nice gash over his eye. This was his first major boo boo! Poor little fella! You'll notice in my pictures below. It hurts this mama's heart!

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well! My only complaint is going to the bathroom often. But hey, I'll take it!

Miss Anything: My baby being well! I hate to see Liam sick :(

Food Cravings: I have really been wanting some iced green tea (sweetened) from Starbucks, and I partake every now and then :) It's a good thing I'm almost done being pregnant because our budget can't keep up with this craving!

Wedding Rings on or off: ON! A bit snug, though!

Looking Forward to: Meeting Harper! We are amazingly close!

Side Note: 38 weeks was my LAST WEEK taking a bump picture with Liam! He came on his own in the weeeeeeee hours of the morning on the day I was 39 weeks. So, who knows...this could be it! Liam decided to join me for these, so we snapped a couple of cute pictures! :)
