How far along? Thirty-nine weeks. Now I can tell people when they ask when I’m due, “Next week!” Sleep: Bump’s change in position is definitely affecting the bladder as I’m now up to at least two trips to the loo per night, and sometimes three (usually at 12.30, 2.30 and 4.00). Other than that I’m sleeping pretty well, although [...]

How far along? Thirty-eight weeks. My goodness we are getting close! Sleep: Slept through the night a couple of times. Woke up to use the loo once a couple of times. Woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep a couple of times, the worst one being when I woke up at 4 the morning of my [...]
We made it.

How far along? Thirty-seven weeks. Full term- woo hoo! Sleep: Had two nights this week where I slept all the way through, which was insane. Of course that meant last night I woke up at 3 and remained awake (stewing over a school thing that had happened that day) until well past 5. I think I then dozed [...]

How far along? Thirty-six weeks. Sleep: Still waking up once a night for the loo, but now it seems to be closer to 5 am, which means I don’t always get a great sleep before the alarm goes off. I’m still tossing my extra pillows out of the bed…and then really noticing it in my hips in [...]

I am loving all the comments and the feedback- it is super useful, and not too contradictory, which is SO helpful. Thank you all! I will be going out to get a couple more crib sheets and a couple more sleepers before bub arrives, but it looks like you all think I can hold off [...]

Wow, did we ever have a productive weekend! On Friday Q. finished the nursery. I was out at the uni, and came home to all the tape pulled up and the room tidied and all the light switches and things put back on. That night we moved the rocking chair and change table in there. [...]
Entering the final countdown…

How far along? Thirty-five weeks. Sleep: Mostly this week I’ve slept well. I had one early morning wakeup, but I think that was because I was excited about the baby shower. Interestingly, I’m now starting to wake up with my extra pillows shoved out of the bed or moved away from where I’d carefully placed them the night before. [...]
Spoiled rotten

First up, an administrative update. I had a midwife appointment this morning, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. My fundal height was back where it ought to be (at 34 cm), BP was on the higher end for me, but still very low, heart rate was great, baby is still head down, etc. The [...]

How far along? Thirty-four weeks. Weight gain: 24 pounds (this is based on the scale at my endocrinologist, which had me at 28 pounds this morning and has consistently been four pounds over my scale at home). Still on track for a total weight gain of somewhere around 27-30 pounds. Holding steady at a weight gain [...]

33w5d. I’m enormous! —— Big changes ahead chez Turia. We finally cleared out Q’s study (aka the nursery-to-be) when my Dad was visiting, and could help Q. carry the big pieces of furniture down the stairs. We hit one snag in that our basement ceiling is too low for Q.’s bookcase, so I inherited it [...]
