How Far Along: 38 weeks, 5 days
Size of baby: Baby #2 is the size of a leek
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m not looking at the scale at this point, but I’m still calling a 40 pound weight gain, maybe a few more or less. I might look on Wednesday, at my final appointment, but until then I’ll just live in bliss and eat breakfast casserole all day long.
Maternity Clothes: I have a few more things than I really ever intended (or wanted) to purchase. It makes me crazy that I’ve worn them each once or twice and then won’t wear them anymore. Pictured above, lace top and navy cardigan from Destination Maternity, same AG skinny jeans that I’ve been wearing for months.
Gender: Its a boy!!
Movement: Yes, all the time. I’m convinced he moves much more than his big sister did.
Sleep: Only interrupted by leg cramps, the bananas aren’t even cutting it these days.
Cravings: Mainly, ice and ice cold water. Food isn’t as appealing, especially later in the day.
Symptoms: Lovely swollen feet by the end of the day, no progress per my last appointment.
Best Moment this week: Our last holiday as a family of three! We had the best Easter weekend, we hosted both of our families at the house and went to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday. I couldn’t help but think about how different things are going to be next year at Easter. We’ll have an almost one-year-old in the mix. It’s almost surreal to think about.
And because I just love this picture…

I can’t believe how close you are! I have enjoyed your weekly updates. I just had my 3rd on April 10th. He has been the sweetest boy. I can’t wait to see your baby post. Enjoy your last few days!
Stephanie says

Allison says
What a wonderful picture of sister!! Congrats on making it to the home stretch! I’ll keep yall in my prayers this week!
Side note-these baby size comparison things have always made me laugh. I remember being pregnant and when you get to the end, you’re like the baby is the size of…A BABY! ha!
Best wishes for a smooth transition to a foursome!
