Preggo Progress- 38 Weeks




I know some of you have been asking for an update...I can't say there is too much to report. Hopefully this will be my LAST preggo progress update. Jude seems to be content where he is and shows no signs of wanting out...I havn't dilated any although he did drop this week. It was the weirdest thing- I actually felt it and knew exactly what was happening- so strange! I am really not THAT uncomfortable so we are just going to wait it out and see what happens. I do think it is strange that you get asked by your ob "do you want to have the baby?" as in do you want to check in to the hospital and get induced..umm..no thanks...I'll take these two weeks to get some rest ;-)

Weight Gain: Another 2 lbs

Fun Story: I got to have an ultrasound last week to see if Judes head was down. My ob couldn't feel his position and said it was because my ab muscles were too strong and tight. yeah!

Cravings: I could go all day without eating..no appetite..although I did have a craving for broccoli salad..but that lasted a short minute...

Feeling: good...despite the pressure of having a descended baby. I have discovered how great it is to take time during nap and relax..I have been taking baths everyday.It makes me so much more relaxed and I am a better wife and mommy because of it...

Working out: I may be done...just walking is almost painful...although my ob told me today (jokingly) that a baby has never actually just "fallen out." Jude may be the first.

Prayer request: please pray for my cervix to start to dilate and Gods perfect timing and safety for Judes delivery. We are so excited to meet this little one!

Come on, Jude! You can do it! I'm amazed you were like...'no I'll wait a couple more weeks!' Not me, sista! I'm all about getting the baby out...that may mean less sleep in the near future, but it is also one day closer to having my body back!

What a compliment about your abs! Heck yeah!!!!

We'll be praying and anticipating little Jude's arrival!

You look AMAZING!!! I know that you are ready but really try to enjoy this time with Roman, snuggle up in his bed, lay down with him at naps..It will never be just he and you all again. Nap during nap time, take some time just for you..2 is busy, a busy blessing mind you, but still busy! Can't wait to see you tomorrow!

WOW! The big day is almost here girl. Hang in there. I love the picture of you looking down at Jude...precious. Thank you so much for the words of encouragement for Ellison Anne. It is so easy to get upset and worry but I have to remember that God is in control and worrying will not change the situation...only prayer. Hope to see you at MOPS. -Lee
