Size of baby: My little guy is the size of a pineapple (4.9 lbs & 19 in). My doctor says the little guy is measuring a couple of weeks ahead at 5.5 lbs!! Eeek...he will be much larger than Ipolito....I.AM.SCARED!!!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have gained 3 more pounds this week. I am up to 5 pounds gained over all.
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity clothes but am able to fit into my regular scrub pants and scrub tops. I definitely am able to wear less scrubs now and find myself wearing t-shirts with my scrub pants. I am wearing some normal/maternity clothes to work at least 1-2 times per week because I am just running out of scrub tops that actually fit. At least I have a great job where I can do either scrubs or regular clothes. Plus I guess if I get really huge I can always wear OR scrubs.
Gender: A little boy!
Movement: The little guy is still very active. I can feel him lower and lower.
Sleep: I am sleeping the same. I wake up at specific times to potty...about every 2-3 hours.
What I miss: At times I miss sweet things or french fries and mashed potatoes. Good thing is I can eat 1-2 fries or a small spoonful of them and that satisfies my cravings.
Cravings: I still am loving my Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes. I having given up most spicy foods for fear they may come up later.
Symptoms: My feet and legs are super swollen. They are pitting pretty much all of the time. I have frequent contractions and most of them hurt like hell. I am still scared out of my mind I won't know when I am actually in labor. I can tell I have dropped and other people have commented on it as well. My hips and sciatic nerve are giving me problems. I had a massage on Friday and it felt AMAZING! I also feel like my cervix is lower and opening up. Weird I know but it is how I feel, especially since little man is tapping and punching me down there.
