38 Week Bumpdate

Hi Everyone! This bumpdate is OFFICIALLY the last bumpdate!! This bumpdate was written Tuesday night before all Wednesday events took place. I did have our little guy this past Wednesday the 15th at 38 weeks, so I wanted to finish out this last bumpdate. I will be posting an update soon about our little man and his birth story!

38 Week Bumpdate

size of the baby: Winter Melon– about 19.6+ inches, and probably close to 8+ pounds! Yikes, I’m getting nervous about how big he is going to be!!

total weight gain: about 25 pounds now and wanting to slow this weight train down!

gender: Little Man

clothes: Leggings and back to maternity jeans this week because I decided to go into work for a few days to get some normalcy back into our lives.

movement: He moves a ton. It has slowed down a little this week, I’m assuming he is running out of room. When he does move, its not super fun – it kind of hurts.

sleep: I have been sleeping HORRIBLE! I have been waking up at all hours of the night with contractions and cramping that keep me up for hours. I keep thinking “this is it, it might be go time”.. then nope, they will fade out after a few hours. I am really getting tired of it. I did probably get one good night sleep this week on Tuesday night.

missing: normal life! I feel like I am in such a weird waiting period. I feel like he could come any day but then he just doesn’t.

craving: ehh… limeades, queso…. pizza hut

symptoms/update: Well, everything has pretty much been the same, I am still highly uncomfortable and most nights are VERY hard.

kevin is: convinced that he is going to be born on the 22nd by induction..lol & he is super excited for him to be here (& i’m sure for me to get some relief and not be so moody).

looking forward to: going into actual labor! I am really tired of constant contractions and pressure. I am so ready!

best moments: um… hmmmmm…. lol I guess just soaking up the last days of Brooke as an only child. She is super fun and her personality keeps growing more and more if that is even possible.

    Love this last post – I don’t get round to mine… Our baby girl arrived last week at 36 weeks!
    I was also convinced she would come on the 22nd x

  • #AD I’m already daydreaming about all the yummy food for the BIG GAME this weekend! 💚🏈 Who’s with me?!

Picking up my @solocup essentials at @krogerco ❤️ With Solo, hosting stays easy, cleanup stays minimal, and the focus stays where it belongs: on food, friends, and football.

I love the square bottom of Solo cups, they feel extra stable and the grips make it super easy to hold. And, with all the game day food, you need strong, dependable Solo plates. 

Do yourself a favor, make your game effortless - don’t forget your Solo products! #BigGameBigPlaysWithSolo #SoloCup
