38 weeks preggo - SPOILER ALERT - last preggo post!

How far along? - 38 weeks - could come anytime
Total weight gain: -Actually lost a pound at this week's appointment on Wednesday  
Maternity clothes? - Ughhh…I am so over them. I cannot wait until I can dress fashionably and in cute clothes again. 
Stretch marks? - None
Sleep: Bad!  Labor pains often keep me up at night or wake me up in the middle of night. I have also been having anxiety that wakes me up too. For example, the latest worry is that I have scared off my long-term sub and will have to scramble to find a replacement in the last two weeks. It's not going to happen but my brain has a weird way of working itself up. 
Best moment this week: Just the usual, although I am pretty sure my husband is nesting. In the past few days, he has cleaned out our storage to make room for baby stuff, fixed the vacuum that was clogged with one needles from Christmas, vacuumed downstairs, and put up final little odds and ends in the nursery.  I had off Monday and Tuesday due to snow and I went through all our bills in the office.  If you can call that nesting, then I guess I was nesting.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No just painful contractions.
Gender: Boy!  I am so excited to see what he looks like and how he acts. 
Symptoms: Labor pains (early I guess).  Wednesday during the day, I was 70% effaced and 2 cm dilated. The midwife stripped my membranes and told me if my body was ready, I could go into labor within 24 hours (SPOILER ALERT- It worked!) 
Belly button in or out: Flat 
Wedding rings on or off: off
Looking forward to: March 17?
