How far along?: 38 weeks
Total weight gain: 26 lbs
Maternity clothes: yes - and none of them fit at all anymore. Wearing the same pants/tank tops everyday, beacuse they are the only ones that fit.
Sleep: none. Between carpal tunnel, swollen right foot, and hips, I cannot get comfortable. Sleep is not possible.
Best moment of the week: Setting the induction date!
Movement: A LOT!! He likes to try to push his butt up between my ribs. Head butting my cervix like a trampoline.
Gender: ALL Boy
Food cravings: Strawberry milk, spinach
Labor signs: some crazy BH, Pelvic pressure, head butting my cervix. Contractions all the time - but they are doing NOTHING...
Belly button in or out: Flat. Stretched and yucky brown color. Looks like a weird smiley face w/my piercing and the scars from my lap chole.
What I miss most: sleeping comfortably, seeing my feet normal size, heart burn medication, not throwing up in my mouth, not peeing when I sneeze, cough, laugh, walk...etc. Not being stared at. People not falling over themselves when they see how big I am. Breathing. Walking.
What I'm looking forward to: Next Thursday!!

Induction Scheduled! 7 days til an outside baby!!
Induction is scheduled!! April 22nd. EARTH DAY!! Which for all my friends who call me a tree hugger, ha!
Anyway, so how do I feel about induction for the 4th time? Let's go back to when I first found out I was pregnant - I said I wanted the completely natural - call the hubby & tell him my water broke, labor at home, experience. Yeah, I'm over it. This baby is HUGE, I am miserable. Between reflux, asthma, and IBS I am over this pregnancy. I want an outside baby! My feet have swollen so large that I have stretch marks!! You can't even tell where my lg calves end and my feet begin.
So, induction it is! No, I do not plan on having an epidural with this child either. Yes, I know you think I am crazy!
I am ready for BIG baby Harry so I can breastfeeed, cloth diaper, and teach him how to be a tree hugger too.
Preppy teenager - turned hippie. mom of 5 by next week!!!
