Baby weight: 6.5 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches (at our appt Friday, he measured slightly larger than average- 38 instead of 36)
Sleep: This week hasn't been too too bad. I wake up about 10 times per night to go to the bathroom, I'm becoming a pro at navigating our new room in the dark.
Best moments this week: Deciding that Mike is going to be here on Friday, August 6th. We've had a talk with Gunney and he is okay with staying put until then!
Movement: Not as much lately, but when he does move, he lets me know it. He has kinda cramped quarters in there!
Cravings: Mai Tai- one of Dad's though, not one from a restaurant
Labor signs: Had a little back pain the other day... false alarm... and I've had a few sudden bursts of energy- false alarms too... No worries... he will stay put a little longer
Breakdowns: I got sad on Monday realizing how much Mike is sacrificing by moving here. He has a job that he loves, working with people that he loves (and love him), friends and teams that he is leaving... and moving to a town where he doesn't know what is going to happen next... if I were him, I'd be crazy scared, and probably resent me a little bit. For me, moving wasn't scary- I moved "home". My family and friends are here, I LOVE my job, and I can get around (for the most part) without getting too lost.
When I mentioned it to him, he said "But, I get to be with you". WOW. I thought I was lucky before... Mike has truly been my Knight in Shining Armor through this whole process. He is supportive, works harder than anyone I've ever met and anticipates what I need before I do. I cannot wait for us to be back together... and share our joy with the newest member of our family!!
Belly Button: Its funny looking
What I miss: Mikey. Our old house and our neighbors (So far we have the crazy cat lady, video services guy and Scotty McNoShirt- Scotty isn't bad... )
Looking forward to: Larry moving into our house... Mike and I being together... August 6th.
Milestones: Today brings two beautiful words: full-term. Now, whenever baby's born, he's likely to thrive.
Yay for full-term and for you all to be able to be together. And what a sweet paragraph about all that Mike is sacrificing under "breakdowns." From the few times I've been around him, I can totally see how his priorities are with family!
