38 Weeks... Still Cookin!

We are at 38 weeks today!! So excited to soon meet out little guy. I have a feeling he's going to be super plump, or really long and lean. It could go either way. For whatever reason im most excited to see his little feet. I cant wait to see if they're long and thin like Marc's foot, or if they're wide and short like mine. I feel like its the way you see if your puppy will be a big dog or not, by the size of his paws... but im not sure that works the same way with human/baby feet. Im quite impressed with how smooth this whole baby making/growing process has gone though. I've not had to be wisked off to the ER for an emergency contraction, or sever swelling, or crazy bad heart burn. Im still wearing my rings, havent gone a day without them. Im still wearing regular shoes and socks, and i still only have 1 chin! :o) although, aside from the chin joke, i have gained more weight than my OB wanted me too.. i've gone 1lb over so far. Hopefully that means the baby is coming soon.

How far along? 38 weeks
Total weight gain:  35lbs.
Maternity clothes? yes definetly!
Stretch marks? None yet... but my belly button is as thin as its ever been.
Sleep: Its getting more painful. My hips are starting to get really lose and they twist some so they cramp up really badly, which means i then flip over to my back where I then feel like im being smothered in my own body and cant breath. Its all too interesting to just talk about. I wish everyone got to experience this phenomenon.
Best moment this week: People look at me now like im a ticking time bomb, like any minute im going to shky rocket a baby right out of me... but thats a good thing, b/c that means its time for him to come out and im ok with that.
Miss Anything? spooning my husband, im stuck in one position at night and its in a fortress of pillows that make it extremely difficult for me to move or even get out of bed.
Movement: all the dang time. He doesnt like it when i switch from my left side to my right side when i sleep b/c he kicks like crazy in a new position. Started hiccups last week so that little tiny thump is super cute!
Food cravings: sweet stuff, smoothies and anything creamy or frothy. icing is pretty awesome, so is nutella!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: chicken is the worst looking, smelling thing in the world. theres a mcdonalds commercial of a guy eating a chicken wrap, i have to turn the channel!
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: braxton hicks are pretty regular. My OB keeps telling me to drink water but i do drink my 64oz jug every day, so im not sure how much more water i can drink!
Symptoms: other than a big braxton hicks, thats about it...
Belly Button in or out? IN! Its stretched so thin though, im not sure there is anything to pop out!
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Pretty happy, except when its time to hustle or move fast...
Looking forward to: Week 39... which means its time for him to come out!!
