Technically, I could 'go' anytime.
{This thought makes me excited and anxious all at the same time.}
We can't wait to see this Baby's sweet face.
At my last doctor's appointment, I was 1 centimeter dilated. (TMI? Sorry.) Considering 10 centimeters is the magic number, being 1 centimeter isn't that impressive, but waaaayyyyyy better then zero!
I weighed in at 159. (I knew I felt a growth spirt.) That puts my total weight gain at 34 pounds.
What are the chances this baby is a 20-pounder???
Clothes
I purchased the kids 'hospital shirts' that say 'Big Sister' and 'Big Brother'.
Cravings
No new cravings but, despite my 2 pound weight gain this past week, I have been slightly limiting how much I stuff my face. Having a full belly is getting pretty uncomfortable.
And just for fun......
