Total weight gain: according to my scale +10 according to doctor's scale +13
Stretch marks?: No new ones just the ones I have carried on my body for years.
Sleep?: Not great but not terrible. If you ask about Reid he doesn't sleep much because I snore when I am on my back...but that is the only way I can keep my arms elevated high enough to keep my hands from throbbing all night long. I know everyone has their own issues during pregnancy and up until last week I really had a simple pregnancy. My older sister had Carpel Tunnel issues from about 20 weeks on and it hit me at 35 weeks. If you've never had it you are very lucky, cause it stinks! I sleep with my arms propped on pillows all night and still wake up with extreme finger pain or joints locked and of course my thumb and pointer finger are numb and occasionally my middle finger. I can't hold on to anything so just call me butter fingers.
Best moment this week?: My work had a baby shower on Feb 8 for us and gave us our 2nd stage car seat and many wonderful gifts from my CAREGivers. Not baby related: on Saturday we had some new friends over and Reid made dinner and played Mexican Train...I haven't laughed that much in a very long time, thanks Bryce and Dani!
Food cravings?: Nothing in particular but I am still enjoying my Popsicles.
Labor signs?: Starting to have more and more contractions, still not regular pattern but coming more frequent. I can feel Cooper really low now and he likes to place his hand in my hip socket.
Belly button in or out?: It is completely in
What I miss: This week I have been missing my niece and nephew...I know it's not baby related but it is what I am missing!
What I'm looking forward to: We are attending our Childbirth class tomorrow and will get to tour the hospital and ask all the questions we have. Our last appointment was February 1st and she said that everything looked great and he had moved into my pelvis...so we have a check up on Valentine's Day and hoping that Cooper is ready to come out! :-)
