39 Weeks and Dr Appointment

Had my last weekly doctor's appointment before my actual due date.  I skipped getting checked because I don't want to aggravate anything and I just don't want to be told when they think I will go into labor.  I'm already really having anxious and overwhelming feelings about when, how, where, etc.  I worry about having to say bye to Joey or will I have not seen him all day and then go into labor?  It's just always on my mind.  The baby's heartbeat was 150's and since I am still measuring 34 weeks, the midwife asked if I had time to do an NST.  Basically I had to sit in a recliner with a monitor on my stomach which watched how often the baby moved (heartbeat will rise suddenly and then level out again) and if I was having any contractions.  The baby was very happy and I was on my way!  We will see if I make it to my next appointment or not.

How far along: 39 weeks

Weight gain/loss: No gain this week

Maternity clothes: Making it work with what I have, not too much longer!

Stretch marks: Using the cocoa butter and oil every day

Symptoms: No new symptoms.  Just feeling uncomfortable and ready to not be pregnant.  I have noticed more period like cramping but nothing that stops me in my tracks or anything.

Sleep: Good, with the exception of waking up a lot to pee and just try to get comfortable.

Best moment this week: Next week is Christmas and I am excited to see Joey open his gifts and just be around family.

Gender: We will know soon enough!

Belly button in or out: Still in 

Food cravings:  Fruit, oatmeal and yogurt is about it.  I just don't have much of an appetite and when I do, it doesn't take much to fill me up!

Movement: Baby had a quiet day on 12/22, maybe the day is approaching??

What I miss: Not having a basketball in front of me 24/7.


What I'm looking forward to: Christmas is next week!
