Yes, we’re at 38 weeks. How was my last pregnancy update already 3 weeks ago? How is there only 2 (roughly) weeks to go? We’re in the home stretch friends, baby could come any day.

Things have been going really well. I got back a few pictures from our maternity photo shoot at 36 weeks and love them. I’ll be sharing a whole whack load more of them next week so get ready!
For now, let’s get on with the questions.

Pain
I’ve been all right in this department. The other night however I did have an insane evening full of braxton hicks. They weren’t painful, but rather my stomach would just go rock hard and no matter what I did (aside from take a bath) I could not get comfortable. Oh the joys of the body preparing itself for what’s ahead!

Cravings
I can never get enough ice cream, a craving I try to curb with plain greek yogurt instead…try.

Mood
SO much better than the last update! I’ve gotten a lot more things finalized/finished and have had to force myself to take a few days off from doing anything but lay on the couch and watch gilmore girls. It’s been completely rejuvenating and so needed.

Baby Growth
My uterus was measuring just 1cm over at yesterday’s appointment – so hoping that means baby stays at a good size!

Baby Movement
I can definitely tell when squirrelly baby is sleeping, and certainly when he/she is awake! We’re now able to press around on my tummy and be able to tell if we’re feeling a foot and bum etc, which is really really cool!

Preparation
I still have a few things on my to do list, namely getting Squirrelly Minds set so you all have something to see at least once or twice a week, but mainly it’s boring practical stuff like maternity leave, insurance papers etc. I had to knock a lot of items off my list because I just knew I couldn’t get it done in time, so the shop has remained a bit stagnant in result of that. But all the ‘must do’s’ are finished, and after purchasing a few more ‘must haves’, we’ll be all set to go!
