Baby is the size of: a pumpkin. i guess there is something after watermelon after all!
Extra poundage: 27 pounds. eek! 2 pounds in 1 week. Little Wood needs to come OUT.
Bump status: yesterday i started to feel like i grew overnight. does she look like she's dropped yet?
**Dilated: i actually don't know. i saw my delivering doctor last and she doesn't have the habit of telling me- probably to not be discouraging!
**Effaced: 60%! yes, that's different from last week. is this due to different people measuring me? who knows. but i had my first "membrane sweep" when i was 2 days over due and it was a tad uncomfortable, but not horrible. right away i experienced bleeding and what i think could have been pieces of my mucous plug (sorry, TMI) passing. i pretty much bled the rest of the day and am not sure if it was my bloody show or just because of the sweep.
**Contractions: yes, i think so at this point. i had 2 that woke me up a few nights ago, but then nothing. then, since my sweep, i've had increasing menstrual-like cramps since. last night i had a number of recurring sharp pains in my lower pelvis that were less than pleasant. hoping this is the beginning of the end!

Favorite food of the week: nothing really.
Heartburn worthy foods: not heartburn per se, but i have noticed that i'm feeling a little more queasy after i eat these days.
Favorite piece of clothing this week: i've been avoiding maternity clothes because i'm just sick of them! so i've worn leggings most of the week.
Movement: tons. i don't think LW likes contractions either, because she moves around a LOT when they happen.
Sleep: still decent.
Pee trips in the night: 3-4.
Pee trips in the night: 3-4.
Guilty pleasure: Breyer's Oreo ice cream.
Baby purchases this week: no baby purchases, just nipple cream.
Looking forward to: meeting this baby!
