Wahoo! 3 weeks or less! I still can't believe how fast everything is going now! I feel like I can't keep up with my to-do list, or that I just don't have the time to finish everything I want to do. I still have 2 weeks left at work (my last day before I begin maternity leave is March 2) so between finishing up projects at work and at home....I just don't have any "me" time anymore! Matt told me to take Sunday "off" and just relax. So tomorrow, I will stay home from church and just veg out and then knock some more things off the to-do list. Sunday very well could be my last day of freedom! CRAZY!
I am now seeing my doctor every week! At this weeks appointment we discussed an induction date if he doesn't come on his due date. So, he will be here on or before March 14th! (Side note: if you've known me for a long time....you know how special March 14th is to me!!!! yes, it has something to do with Hanson) It is so cool to know that after the 14th we WILL have our little boy in our arms!!
Here's a fun little thing that happened on Friday! Earlier this week I entered a contest on Chick-fil-a's Facebook page to win free chick-fil-a for a year. On Friday, I was reading through my newsfeed and saw "Holly M." in their status. My first thought was "oh that's cool, she has the same name and last initial as me! Wait...that IS me!!" I honestly thought I just won the contest, but they were just saying what I wrote for how I was going to spend my extra day this year. haha, oh well! Still cool :)
Caleb is now considered "full term," even though my due date is 3 weeks away. If I go into labor now, his lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb. But we want him to stay cooking for a little while longer!
Size of baby: a stalk of Swiss chard (???) (almost 6 1/3 pounds and over 19 inches long.)
Total weight gain: Anywhere between 28-30 pounds
Maternity Clothes: All the time for work clothes, but i'm still able to wear my normal PJ's and college t-shirts (although they are getting a little snug now!)
Boy or Girl? It's a BOY!!!!!! Caleb James
Movement: still moving around all the time! The "alien" moves are getting bigger (visibly) and stronger! Thursday night he was poking out his foot and it was so weird, yet cool at the same time that we could feel the outline of his foot!!!! It was pretty petite :)
Sleep: love it when I can get it!
Anything you miss? feeling "normal" lol
Cravings? basically anything. I'm hungry all the time, but my stomach can't hold a lot. So I get frustrated when my stomach is full, but my mind is still telling me i'm hungry!
Symptoms: exhaustion, bending over is out of the question now, and pressure from his big moves.
Any fears? still nervous about not knowing when or where I will be when I go into labor.
Best moment of the week: Scheduling his induction date (even though we want him to come on his own time) and getting our closet organized! haha, it was a nightmare to look at, but it's all organized now!
