3rd Trimester Survey.

How far along? 38 weeks, 3 days

What was the first thing you bought for your baby? A cute little outfit for $3.00 at a consignment shop!

Total weight gain/loss? I'm not sure of the total, but over the last month I have lost about 1-2 pounds.

How are the maternity clothes? Any kind of clothing, other than pajamas, are pretty uncomfortable at this point. I am ready to fit in to "normal" clothes again. However, I am so grateful for all of my friends who have let me borrow/have their maternity clothes so that I didn't have to buy too many.

Stretch marks? Yes and Yes! Also dealing with PUPPP...itchy, itchy.

How’s the sleep? I have been sleeping pretty good for the past week. Justin has moved to the couch, leaving the bed for me, Minnie, and London. Neither one of us were sleeping all that well, and although we don't love sleeping separately, we are both getting much more rest.

Best moment this week? Having my family over for dinner/spending quality time with them.

Movement? He moves a lot! Most of his movement comes at night, however there are multiple times during the day where he doesn't seem to slow down.

Have you taken a birthing class? Yes, we took them back in September.

Type of delivery you’re planning on? Hopefully a smooth and quick one!

Biggest change in your body besides belly? Having gestational diabetes/high blood pressure are both changes I have had to adjust to.

Food cravings? Nothing too specific still. I do love my nightly ice cream snack before bed.

Gender? Male

Labor Signs? TONS of Braxton-Hicks contractions, especially at night.

Belly Button in or out? Flat

What are you missing? Regular Coke, being able to easily put on my shoes, sleeping on my stomach, Starbucks.

What are you looking forward to? Seeing what London looks like, how much he weighs, etc. Bringing him home to meet Minnie. Having him and Brooklyn "play" together. Seeing how Justin and he interact/bond.

Other Updates? I suppose the final, most important update is, unless he decides to come on his own sometime during the remainder of this week, London will be a Halloween baby! I am being admitted to the hospital Sunday night and will be induced first this Monday morning. Prayers are much appreciated for this excited/anxious mama to be!!
