Total weight gain: 25lbs - weight has suddenly shot up. I'm not actually worried or upset about it as I know baby is healthy and so I'll just deal with the weight loss after the birth.
Maternity clothes: No more new clothes, and I'm finding even some of my maternity trousers are a little uncomfortable now.
Sleep: I'm getting about 6-9 hours sleep a night which is amazing. I do wake at 4:30am every morning though and am up for about 1-2 hours before I can get back to sleep.
Movement: Movement is great - I have found that if I listen to some upbeat pop music (McFly seems to be Squishy's favourite) then I get some really good kicks.
Food cravings: Cooked breakfasts and biscuits. I think I have eaten some variation of bacon, egg, sausage and toast everyday for the past week or two! At least with the mushrooms, beans and tomatoes I'm managing to get some veg into me though.
Gender: I have no idea. I had convinced myself that Squishy was a boy at one point but after the man's sister giving birth to a little boy when we were all convinced she'd have a clue I feel thrown off!
Labour signs: Baby is now head down and starting to engage. I'm getting alot of Braxton Hicks and "lightning crotch" - believe me if you've experienced it you'll know what that is!
Symptoms: I've been getting a lot of back and hip pain now that baby is so low, but it has made my heartburn a little better.
What I'm looking forward to: The nursery is decorated now and just needs the last bits of furniture building to go in there so I'm looking forward to having it completed very soon (I'll try and give you a bit of a tour when it is done). Also just can't wait for next Friday as that is when baby is full-term and I can start trying out a few methods to get this labour going!
I have been reading about Squishy's progress each week here so go and have a look.
