Bump Update!

It's been a while since I gave you a rundown of what's going on with the little man hasn't it? Well, not much exciting has been going on besides the fact that this giant bump is...well...giant.

Yes, I am wearing brown shoes with black pants. Whatofit?

How far along? Almost 38 weeks! FULL TERM BABY!

Total weight gain/loss: Still a healthy amount! 

How big is baby? 
 19 1/2 inches long and 6 lbs/15oz according to last weeks ultrasound. Big boy!

Maternity clothes? Always and forever. I might never take them off. 

Stretch Marks? Yes. Tiger stripes FTW

Best moment this week?  Last Monday's ultrasound! He's getting too big to make out features but the fact that I could see him moving around and his little heart beat just makes me melt. Seeing him just solidifies the fact that he's really in there and will soon be on the outside!  

Movement? He flips and flops and kicks me in the ribs and I feel bruised most of the time.  
 
Food Cravings? None really. Except when I go to Costco and the bakery is giving out free samples of cake and fresh baked bread. Then I end up buying forty bucks worth of junk that I didn't need but it tastes so good and you shouldn't give samples to pregnant people. 

What I miss: Do we really need to go over this again? I miss being a normal human who can do things on her own. I've now gotten to the point where I drop something and debate for a few minutes on how badly I need it because I CAN'T pick it up. My house is a wreck because of it. Bodie is no help, he doesn't have thumbs. 

What I am looking forward to: The birth of my cousins baby!! She'll be induced tomorrow morning and I can't wait to add another baby boy to the family. :) 

Nausea/Vomiting?: No but there's this new thing I've come accustomed to called heartburn. I've never had it before but apparently, when a 7 pound baby is squishing your guts up into your ribs, you can't eat anything without it burning for hours. 

Labor signs? Lots of Braxton Hicks lately and definite pressure on my groin but that's about it. Fingers crossed one of these times it will be the real thing and we'll be able to get to the hospital.  

GenderBaby boy!

Belly Button in or out? Very very flat.

Wedding rings on or off? Off. :( 

Sleep? Still sleeping okay with the exception of the normal tossing and turning. I've considered sleeping in the armchair so that I don't have all that pressure on my hips but dangit, my bed is comfy! 

Weekly Wisdom: Try not to smack the people who continually ask you why you're still at work. Or why you're up and around so much. Or why you're not taking it easy. Or when's the baby coming. I'm not disabled, I'm pregnant and as far as I know, this baby will come out when he's done baking.



BOOM. Baby bump. In your face.

You look so good! Seriously, do you not ever gain weight in your face?

But Baby Boy Trimble needs to hurry up, because I want to meet him! And for you to be more comfortable already. :)

Layla said...

Love it! You seriously look amazing. I know you think I'm just saying that, but you know me better. You really, really do!!

Can't wait for the little man to make his appearance!

megan said...

I want to rub your belly! You look gorgeous! Glowing! Healthy! Happy! I'm so excited!

I want to squeeze him. And you.

Lauren said...

You look great! He will be here so soon! Heartburn was the worst, I'm pretty sure I ate a whole bottle of Tums the last 3 weeks!

J and A said...

Loving your belly! Sorry Bodie is no help, we really need to train them better. Cruz does no chores either. Unacceptable!

Kate Undercoffer said...

You look FANTASTIC! When people ask you those annoying questions, don't you want to just say "what baby? I'm not pregnant" and then act offended? Yeah, maybe that was just me...hehe I was a little cranky at the end of both my pregnancies. ;) He will come when he's ready is exactly right!

Have you tried dairy for your heart burn? When I had heartburn with Trace, eating yogurt seemed to help settle it down.

You still fit great on my Iphone screen...any day now and I cant wait

Jennifer B said...

My friend is entering her 2nd trimester now and she is always having heartburn. I'm like...oh girl, it's about to get worse. I can't imagine how that feels- ick! On the plus side, I think you look super cute pregnant and will probably look even cute holding baby boy!! Squeeee!

Neely said...

Tiger stripes for the win! You crack me up :)

Mrs. Adventure said...

HOLY MOLY your belly is HUGE (and I say that knowning in less than 6 months you'll be saying the same to me while your all tiny and normal again :o)

I am so excited to meet your little guy - I'm keeping you all in my prayers.

It's almost here.... wooohooo!

Mrs. Adventure said...

Oh and why is your face still thin? I'm only 9 1/2 weeks and my face is puffed up like I'm alergic to myself. It's bad I tell ya.

Sean Marie said...

Oh I remember being there! I was like a turtle on my back. Life was difficult but somehow I miss that time in my life at moments. You're getting so close!

momentspassslow said...

"baby bump. in your face."
I just died - that is hysterical.

I HATED the "still working" question - agreed - you are not disabled!! Rock on, you look fabulous, albeit a little rounder in the belly region. Also - tiger stripes are the coolest, and they really do get better (says a 6 month post baby mom who had stretch marks like woah.)

Amanda said...

oh my gosh! you crack me up!!!!!! hooray for 38 weeks. i totally agree with the maternity clothes thing. it sad to think about having to wear regular jeans again! :) you look beautiful!

Leigh said...

Can't believe that you are almost 38 weeks already! Are you getting excited? Nervous?

Hannah said...

Baby Bump is adorable! You are still glowing and it is easy to tell that you're so happy to hold your baby boy soon! Love you :)

lavenderpug said...

wow, 38 weeks! you're looking wonderful. i'm so sorry that bodie isn't more helpful in the chores department--doesn't he know he's gotta pull his weight around there?

Kelsey said...

OMG with the when is the baby going to come comments!! I don't know!! I don't care that you can't plan your travel, I can't predict when this kid will decide she's ready. Sorry, just had to vent. But you look wonderful, and I'm with you on the leaving things behind that you drop. It's just too hard to bend to get them.

Amber said...

I still think you look fantastic! Love that shirt! :)

Morgan said...

Yay, getting so close! You look so wonderful, and I love that top you're wearing!

Rebekah said...

I think you look wonderful! Even if you don't feel that way, you do. Hopefully your little boy arrives soon!

Mrs. H said...

hahaha! I love it! When is he coming out? When he's done baking. Looks like he's nearly done. Did you ever decide on a glider/rocker for the nursery?

Mrs. H said...

P.S. Thanks for always keeping me in your prayers.

I can't believe how quick 38 weeks went! I'm sure you're sick of hearing that too! Has it gone fast for you or is it dragging on?
