Size of baby: Mason weighs almost 6 pounds. He's over 18 ½ inches long from head to heel!
Weight Gain/Loss: 21 pounds
Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now.
Gender: It's a BOY!! Mason Carter Mitchell
Movement: Mason’s movements have slowed down just a little, and it’s just small movements most of the time. I think he’s simply just running out of room to move around in there.
Food Cravings: Still loving french fries, spaghetti, and Dr. Pepper (compromise of Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper).
What I miss: Sleeping on my back and the days when I had plenty of energy.
Sleep: Still uncomfortable and interrupted too much by trips to the bathroom, position changes, and acid reflux.
Symptoms: A few Braxton Hicks contractions, acid reflux/heartburn, and muscle soreness in my upper abdomen. I’ve started to feel soreness and pressure in between my legs.
Best Moment this week: I’m sure this is beginning to sound like a broken record, but I’d have to say the best moment was my doctor’s appointment on Wednesday, 3/16. Everything is looking great at this point. My blood pressure was 100 over 60, which they say is great. I gain 2 pounds since last week, and Mason’s heart beat was loud and clear. The most exciting info was that I’m still dilated 3 cm, I am now 90% effaced and Mason is in the +1 station. The +1 station means that his head has now dropped into my pelvis. Station is measured on a scale or -3 to +3. If you get past +3 I’m thinking the head is probably showing. Dr. Lamar continues to think this progress is awesome. He acted like I could have him anytime or could also stay like this for 2 weeks or so. We shall see, it’s a waiting game now.
What I am looking forward to: I’m looking forward to Mason being here. I also have a hair appointment this Thursday, 3/17. It always so nice to have a fresh hair cut!
