38 Weeks

How far along: 38 Weeks 2 days. 

Total weight gain: Enough :)

Maternity clothes: I am refusing to buy any more maternity clothes, so my co-workers get to see the same 7 outfits on rotation :)

Sleep: Some nights are better than others. I have a hard time getting comfortable and in a position where I can breath :) but I'm never too terribly tired in the mornings so I can't complain. 

Best moment this week: 1)Getting our maternity pictures back :) 

2)The ultrasound that I had done today! Dr. Gass wanted me to have another ultrasound done to check Harrison's size and position. I go for my weekly appointment tomorrow where he will discuss the measurements that the ultrasound tech gathered with me. 

Labor signs:  More pelvic pressure lately and Braxton Hicks contractions in the evenings.   

Movement: He is still movin' and grovin' in there :) Although she wasn't able to tell me much information about Harrison today, the ultrasound tech did say that he was one squirmy baby :) 

Gender: Boy

Name: Harrison Michael Cowan

Belly button in or out? The top is starting to poke out!

Weekly wisdom: Ask your formerly pregnant friends lots and lots of questions! I am so thankful for my friends who already have children and their willingness to answer my off the wall questions! 

Milestones: He is considered full term now! All his organs are developed and ready to function outside the womb. His brain will still continue to develop between now and delivery- and of course after that as well :) 

What I'm looking forward to: My appointment with Dr. Gass tomorrow. I'm very anxious to see if I have progressed any from last week and to hear what he thinks about Harrison's measurements from the ultrasound today.
