*How far along?: 38 weeks 1 day
*Weight gain: up 2lbs. so 23lbs.
*Sleep: the last couple of nights have been tolerable, it's the turning over and getting out of bed that kill me- seriously, the pelvic pain is torture.
*Stretch marks: none
*Best moment of this week: Just being with Brogan. I have been so emotional lately thinking that these are the last few days of it being just Brogan and Mommy during the day. Everything is about to change in his mind and it makes me so sad for him. I'm sure he'll adjust and it may be easier since he's so young, but I feel like I'm letting him down.
*Movement: She likes to stick her butt out...so sassy already :)
*Labor Signs: More cramping and Braxton Hicks...nothing painful, just annoying
*Food cravings: I have eaten my weight in turkey sandwiches this week. We went through two loaves of bread and two packs of deli turkey in one short week! I ate one every day at lunch and one every night for a snack. Nothing special to it- turkey, bread, mayonnaise, and salt. This might be why I gained 2lbs. this week! :)
*What I miss most: Brogan sitting comfortably in my lap while we read. I have to sit him over to the side on a pillow now :(
*What I'm looking forward to: seeing our baby girl!! AND WE HAVE A NAME!!! I woke up with a peace about it yesterday morning. Now we're just deciding between two spellings. Oh, and still no middle name.
*Measuring: 35cm. I think the way they measure is pretty stupid. I had a student observing my midwife this week and she measured me and got 38cm. I was like "whoa- I grew 4cm this week!" The midwife did it and said she had to stretch the tape to get the 35cm. None the less, no ultrasound.
*Milestones: Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long. She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. (babycenter.com)

i totally agree about the measurements! both F & L were born at 38 wks (12 days early), both never measured big, & both weighed over 9 lbs. can't wait to see your precious baby girl! & hear her name. :)
Becki, the feelings you are having about you and Brogan are nothing new to me! I was the same way... but, once you get into the swing of things you and brogan (and Tad) will both be fine!
