40 Weeks Pregnant with Baby #2

How far along? 40 Weeks Pregnant... & DONE!

Total weight gain: 24.5 lbs gained! 159.5 lbs is what officially weighing (clearly that .5 means the world of difference!) this week and I feel like so much more. I have no idea how I had 40 MORE pounds on me last time. CRAZY.



Maternity clothes? So uncomfortable, no matter what I wear. The problem is my skin is too tight even sweats aren't 'comfortable'.


Stretch marks? Still none *crosses fingers*

Sleep: I am so tired. I feel like a zombie already... I know I'm supposed to be more tired when he gets here but I can sleep through any noise, I just can't sleep through big bellies! :(

Best moment this week: Hearing everyone tell me how tired I look and how I look like I'm ready to burst! Thanks everyone, ya jerks! HAHAHAHA But really pregnancy etiquette class: If you can't tell if their pregnant don't ask, if they look tired they probably aren't capable of calmly processing your remarks so maybe KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! ;)

Miss anything? I miss A LOT! Every time I get flustered with the way I'm feeling I just remember that this little guy could very well be my last and I am so thankful for every hiccup and karate move he has. Even the heartburn that keeps you up all night, he better have surfer boy hair at birth btw.

Movement: All movement felt is more and more like a real baby. It's not so spastic (did I just call my beautiful gift spastic? Maybe. Yes.) and like real baby leg kicks or hand jabs... they still hurt like a son-of-a-gun though!

Food cravings: Junk, Still eating Altoids but I did have a random craving for garlic bread and cheetos this week, I only gave in once. Healthier, grapefruit.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Yesterday I felt a little nauseous for no real reason.

Gender: 



Labor signs: Just braxton hicks I think.. It's hard to say. No definite form of labor though.

Symptoms: No sleep, constant need to go to the bathroom, inability to successfully control emotions, umbilical hernia, constant lack of oxygen, swelling fingers and toes.

Belly button in or out? Out/flat, with the super awkward hernia .

Wedding rings on or off? OFF. I am so scared of needing to get my ring cut off I WONT wear it until this swelling goes away.

Happy or moody most of the time: I'm happy and I'd love to say that is the case every second of the day, but honestly my ability to sugar coat things and be crazy cheery is running out.  I'm getting too tired to fake the funk.

Looking forward to: 


Baby's D-Day: TODAY!
(No sign of him actually making today his birthday)

Work Days Until D-Day: 0
(Just to clarify I'm working until I can't work any more, 
so I'll still be here even though I'd love to take an early maternity leave!)
