At 37 weeks, I’ve started waking up in the middle of the night, STARVING!
Loving: The nursery is essentially all set up. I’m waiting for Robb to hang some shelves but we are set set set! The bassinet is ready, my hospital bag is packed, and I’ve got the baby’s going home outfit ready. It’s starting to feel real folks!
Hating: I’m starting to feel a little anxious. I want to meet my baby! I’ve been doing well and in no rush, people don’t believe it but it’s true. I have been enjoying every moment with my husband and peace and quiet. However, now I’m starting to feel a little more of a tug to see my little boy.
Weight Gain: (from beginning of pregnancy) 36 pounds. I think there’s an extra pound in there from my dr. appointment this week because I had my boots on and was fully clothed.
News: Last week the doctor was concerned about my high blood pressure so he had me give a urine sample and get blood work done. I knew he was testing for preeclampsia even though he didn’t tell me that. This late in the game it’s a possibility! Praise the Lord I don’t have preeclampsia, but I do have Strep B. Ugh! Such a bummer. Means I have to have IV antibiotics when I give birth. If not, the baby can contract the strep and get pneumonia.
Gone are the days of me wearing maternity jeans. They no longer fit. I’ve resorted to leggings as pants. Don’t judge. I have about 3 “going out” outfits left – the rest of the time I’m in yoga pants and my husband’s t-shirts.
I have been waking up in the middle of the night incredibly hungry. To the point that I have to get up and get a bowl of cereal. It’s crazy. I have cereal before bed, cereal in the middle of the night and cereal during the day. I have always loved cereal but I seriously can’t get enough. Then I have to top it off with a glass of milk because the milk in the bowl wasn’t enough. We are going through milk and cereal like crazy.
