Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, about the size of a Swiss chard (once again, I have no idea what this is...) - about 6 1/3 pounds and 19 inches
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up 26 pounds at today's appointment...they aren't kidding about you packing on the pounds at the end...that's 3 pounds in 1 week!
Maternity Clothes: I have 3 or 4 pairs of pants that fit, and basically none of my shirts fit anymore unless they were long to begin with...I have a few undershirts that are a necessity underneath now so my belly doesn't hang out!
Gender: It's a GIRL! Emma Ramey
Belly Button In/Out: Slight bit of an outie, but nothing definite. I don't think that it will be a complete outie at all!
Stretch Marks: Besides the belly button scar, nothing!
Labor Signs: Lots of Braxton Hicks, especially last night...so much that I started timing them. They were still sporadic, probably coming at an average of every 10 minutes or so. They did do something - as of today, I'm dilated 1 cm! And she's dropped this week too!
Movement: Definitely a little slower, but still moving a lot.
Sleep:The maternity pillow is still my BFF. I don't think I could sleep without it right now! Sleep isn't too bad as long as I can find a good position.

What I miss: Just still functioning normally...yet another reason I can't wait to meet her! :)
What I am looking forward to: Getting everything finished...I am in full-blown nesting mode. I am basically done with everything at school, and just a few more little things to do at home until I think I'll feel ready!
Cravings/Aversions: Lots of water still.
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, some minor pain, swollen ankles (and sometimes fingers).
Best Moment This Week: My showers! They were great!
