How Far Along: 38 Weeks
Weight Gain: 34 pounds. 1 pound gain this week. I did it. I stayed under 35 pounds!
Sleeping: I can't stay asleep. I'm awake thinking about the baby, about the room, about whether I should get up to pee or wait a little longer. And I'm snoring. It's not pretty.
Food Cravings: sweets like brownies, cookies, cake, pudding
Food Aversions: none
Symptoms:
swollen feet - what else is new?
lack of appetite - I'll eat because I have to, but it's not a huge priority for me
gas - ugh
Doctor's Appointment: I have one today (Wednesday) at 1:30. After a seemingly regular checkup, she sent me straight to the hospital due to high blood pressure, protein in my urine and my swelling. I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia where the only cure is delivery of the baby. So off we went.
Movement: He's active. I know I'll miss this the most when I'm not pregnant.
Gender: Boy. Still no name. Deciding between a long list now that the top name is out.
Best Moment of the Week: presenting my report for the fall 2012 enrollment: I successfully recruited the largest cohort of new international students at NSU ever. Booyah.
What I'm Looking Forward to: seeing what our baby looks like!
What I Did/Got For Baby: We packed up our bags and put them in the car. Bryan installed the car seat in the car. We made a double batch of cheesecake ice cream (super important that I get calcium, you know?). We cleaned the whole house and started cleaning the garage.
What I Learned This Week: Life is crazy unpredictable!!
