baby stats: i love reading things like "babies born between this point and 42 weeks are considered full term". yay! our baby is the size of a winter melon this week, whatever that means. s/he averages 6.13 lbs. and 19 inches. both my midwife and chiropractor think this baby is an average size at this point, so things appear to be in a good place. i don't feel like i'm going in to labor any time in the super near future, but really who knows? the countdown is on.
aversions/cravings: i got a free pass from my doc for christmas day and i totally lived it up. i ate 2 cookies and a whole lot of other carbs that were amazing. i feel like i can make it through the home stretch.
bump: getting bigger by the minute, it seems. the lady at the door for christmas mass said "looks like you're going to be getting a christmas gift pretty soon". yes ma'am. also, when i am still for a few minutes, it looks like aliens are wrestling in my belly. love it.
worries: i am starting to anticipate labor (finally). i'm trying to relax my mind and body and accept that it will be what it will be, but i do have the whole pressure of my awesome first birth experience to "live up to". i know this one will be different and awesome in its own way, but i just hope i can do it all again. i also am super excited/anxious about breastfeeding again. i just hope i have the ease i had with emme this time too.
boy or girl?: still having a hard time thinking that it could be a girl, but mostly i'm just curious to see him/her.
missing the most: still sleep. some nights are ok, but the hip/pelvic pain are hard core and my mind is busy busy.
pregnancy milestone: i have the list of stuff to pack for the hospital (haven't actually packed it yet, but i think that will happen today....). i also have the infant car seat out and just need to install it. i did my pre-registration paperwork online for the hospital. slowly slowly checking items off the list....
