Preggo Stats--38 Weeks

How far along: 38 weeks
Total weight gain: 12 1/2lbs (I've gained another pound and a half)
This is the holiday outfit I mentioned in last week's stats.
How big is baby: The size of a pumpkin!
Maternity Clothes: Yep! In fact, I really could buy some more because even what I do have is starting to become uncomfortable, but I refuse to spend more money with Christmas so close, and since I won't be like this forever (though it sometimes feels that way)
Sleep: Still bad...although I was able to sleep in this weekend with Adam for the first time in a long time and it felt glorious!
Best moment this week: Finding our that we are 1cm dilated and 30-40 effaced!
Movement: Same as last week's: Despite not having as much room, he's still a pretty active fella.(Although he did give us a scare this morning--he didn't move for the longest time--he was probably just sleeping, but needless to say my heart wouldn't stop pounding and worrying until we prayed and he finally moved!)
Food cravings: Christmas goodies--not that I really want to eat a ton of baked goods, but the smells are heavenly, especially almond extract (it's like catnip for me right now)!
Food aversions: None.
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: I finally had a random contraction on Monday during my first block class (maybe it was a Braxton Hicks?)--it took my breath away and stunned me for a minute or so, but then passed. I haven't had one since which is kind of upsetting because I wish he were here already.
Belly button in or out: In
What I miss: Good sleep and having the motivation to really get stuff done, like crafting, sewing, scrapbooking, reading a good book, watching a movie, cooking (although I am finally getting my stride back), etc.
What I'm not loving: (1) His feet are all the way up under my ribs, which is killing me! (2) That we still have two weeks of school! (3) Having to be patient awaiting his arrival.
What I’m looking forward to: (1) Obviously, the birth of our son! (2) We only have two weeks left of school--which is glorious since I have only nine of those ten days left with freshmen!
What I'm loving:That I was able to spend some time this weekend with my hubby (he took me out to breakfast yesterday which was a treat) and my mother and I were able to bake away the afternoon today!
Milestone(s): We're finally dilating/effacing which means we're slowly getting into the process of labor!
