39 Weeks

How far along? 38 weeks 6 days-basically 39 weeks

Size of baby? 7-8 lbs and 19-21 inches

Total weight gain: 32 lbs

Stretch marks? I got a dark one below my belly button :(

Sleep: I would be sleeping great if we had a toddler who would stop waking up in the middle of the night and who would go back to sleep

Best moment this past week: We went to the Sand Hollow Aquatic Center Saturday for a couple hours. It was so fun seeing Riley have so much fun. And I got to swim some laps and it was amazing!!

Miss Anything? Moving easily

Movement: Tons of movement

Food cravings: Fruit

Gender: Baby Girl

Labor Signs: Contractions almost daily. At my appt this morning I was dilated a bit more, not quite a 5 yet and still almost fully effaced. He said he doesn't anticipate me progressing much more until I go into labor just because I'm already almost halfway there. He offered to strip my membranes but I declined. I told him I'm hoping she'll come anytime after Thursday after work. He said if I wanted to I could come in on Thursday and he'd strip them if I wanted to see if it would help get things started more. I told him I'd think about it and call if I decided to. I don't think I will, but it was nice of him to offer. He did tell me that although it's not a sure thing, typically women who have already had one baby tend to labor less and dilate quicker, so he thinks once things start I'll go pretty quick. He recommended me not laboring at home TOO long

Symptoms: Heartburn/acid reflux


Belly Button in or out? In but it's tiny

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: Holding this little one. The temple tonight with Tony

NOT Looking forward to: Dealing with a toddler and a baby with little sleep.

Riley has been having nightmares or night terrors or something and is making our nights miserable. We've really tried teaching her to sleep in her own bed from 6 weeks old, with exceptions of if she's sick. She used to be a really good sleeper but this past month has been an absolute nightmare. I'm really at a loss on what to do to help her. All I know is that something better change real quick!
