38 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 38 weeks! 
Baby is the size of a: pumpkin. Somewhere between 19 and 22 inches long and I’m sure he’s over 7 lbs by now. 
Total weight gain: 31.8lbs 
Stretch marks? The ones on my sides have gotten dark pink, but I know they’ll fade with time.  
Maternity clothes? All the time or leggings/workout pants. 
Sleep: Sleep is hit and miss; getting up 1-3 times to pee. 
Best moment this week: spending some quality time with Caleb as a family of 3 before Logan arrives. 
Miss anything? my energy! 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week. 
Gender: BOY!! 
Labor signs: Pretty much the same as last week; Braxton Hicks and sharp shooting pains in my cervix and down my leg. 
Symptoms: Still having heartburn, peeing all the time, my joints are still swollen and I have very mild swelling in my feet, leg/foot cramps and my boobs ache on and off. I’m getting exhausted and my motivation to do anything productive is fading! 
Belly button in or out? Out.
Wedding rings on or off: My actual wedding rings are off because my joints and knuckles are swollen, so now I’m wearing my Qalo (silicone) wedding ring.  
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy and emotional at random times.
Looking forward to: the big day and meeting Logan.  

Not much is new this week, my belly is getting bigger and I’m getting more uncomfortable.  We’re hoping Logan stays put this week while Chris is down in San Diego training at Camp Pendelton for 3 days.  I don’t think he’ll come until the middle of next week, but we’ll see! He’ll come when he’s ready.
