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 [...]
Less than a month to go!

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 [...]
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. [...]
Six weeks and counting…

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 [...]

How far along? Thirty-three weeks. Sleep: Another pretty good week. Sunday night Q. woke up with a random nosebleed (which he NEVER gets) around 3 am, and then we both struggled to get back to sleep. We were both in a total daze for all of Monday. It really drove home just how well I have [...]
Into the eighth month…

How far along? Thirty-two weeks. Sleep: This week has been great. I’ve been to the loo once every night, but I’ve been able to get right back to sleep again. I’ve started doing what a friend at my prenatal exercise classes was doing- keep all the lights off, keep my eyes closed as much as possible, [...]
The countdown continues

How far along? Thirty-one weeks. Sleep: Erratic. My night loo-trip varies from 1 am to 5 am, and how quickly I get back to sleep (if at all) is also highly variable. I don’t think I’m collecting that big a sleep deficit, but it’s hard to tell. The dreams are also getting very very weird. How [...]
Into the homestretch (plus a belly pic)

How far along? Thirty weeks. Sleep: Still having a lot of problems with the nightly loo-trips. I’m lucky in that I only make one a night, but if it’s after 4:15, chances are I’m not getting back to sleep. Last week I didn’t feel this was affecting me, but I can tell now that I’m not [...]
