How big is baby?: 18 inches, 5.25 lbs
Food cravings?: Chocolate milk---but it has to be the kind that I make, store bought chocolate milk has waaay too much chocolate in it! I like just enough to make it sweet.
What I'm looking forward to: At this point, I'm just looking forward to having her! We're in the home stretch and this is the part where it's super uncomfortable. 'I'll probably give it one more week, and then we'll start walking and doing other stuff to try and induce labor, eating spicy food and such. (If the weather keeps up it is super nice outside anyway!) I had Sam a week early, but I have a feeling Ella is going to be my May baby. Maybe even a memorial day baby... AJ is sticking with June 7th, but I'm praying that he's wrong this time. I thought I was uncomfortable with Sam at the end, but I'm way more uncomfortable this time, I feel the braxton hicks contractions a ton more, and all the uncomfortableness that didn't come until the very end with Sam has hit me already!
Milestone: All of Ella's major organs are nearly complete; her kidneys are completely developed and her liver is functional.
Best moment this week?: The baby shower! I got so many lovely things for her and a lot of the necessities too!!
Feelings this week?: I feel like a blimp this week. I had forgotten that this is the point where you start to feel huge and everything starts to swell and you are just super uncomfortable. I had to shave my legs last night (thanks Aunt Vicki! (-:) and I had the HARDEST time doing it. Luckily I was able to get it done, but I'll probably have to have AJ help next time, ha ha.
I packed most of the stuff in my hospital bag, just gotta get some last minute items... I ordered a set of maternity PJ's for the hospital that I should get in the next few days, got all my toiletries packed (I remembered shampoo and conditioner this time!) We also got Ella's bag all packed and ready to go, and Sam's too.
Other than that not much else going on, just enjoying our time in the sun!
