How Far Along: 38 weeks, 4 days
Size of Baby: pumpkin
Weight Gain: 30 lbs
Gender: Baby Cole is a BOY!
Maternity Clothes: Mostly wearing maternity with a few regular shirts still. I have one pair of Gap maternity shorts and jeans, 7 maternity shirts, a dress, and leggings.
Belly Button: Out
Symptoms: Some swelling in feet and hands. Can’t wear wedding rings anymore! Carpal tunnel is getting worse.
Sleep: Still waking up 1-2 times a night to use the restroom. Hips still cramping up while sleeping and still uncomfortable to move around at night.
What I miss: Still missing cold sandwiches and an occasional apple cider!
Movement: Lots of movements still noticed during the day, especially after eating. Some movements at night, but nothing that wakes me up. It’s definitely awkward, but so surreal, to feel you flip around in mommy’s tummy. It is so amazing and your daddy thinks it’s so cool! At this point, there definitely has got to be very little room in my belly for you.
Best Moments of the Week: This week mommy had another doctors appointment. Everything was well. I have a scheduled c-section on November 7, so your grandma has all things in order to be here the day before, unless you decide to come before then.

Thursday was Halloween and mommy sat outside to give out candy. Next year, at this time, you’ll be almost a year old. I can’t wait to enjoying doing so many fun things with you! Earlier in the week, we got booed by some neighbors. In our last neighborhood no one did fun things like this, but this neighborhood is fun and very family-oriented, which mommy loves! Anyway, the concept is that someone anonymously leaves fun things at your front door to find, and you return the favor by putting a sign up on your front door saying you were booed and you boo two other neighbors who haven’t been booed! Super fun!
Oh yes, one more week until we get to meet you and welcome you into this world!
