Full Term at 37 weeks

How far along? 37 weeks and officially full term - woohoo!

Size of baby: Well ultrasound lady says he's about 8.3 to which I said, "right now???" and she said yes, but could be off by a pound either way. However, she then told me she's generally within 10% of the correct weight and has been dead on with her last 10 or so. So, I'm thinking this not so little fella can come anytime now.

What's baby up to? Getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER.

Total weight gain: +32 lbs

Pregnancy symptoms: Got rid of the leg cramp problem by drinking Gatorade and eating bananas - thank goodness! My groin area feels like it is getting crushed and my hips pop when I roll over in bed.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Wakeups are more frequent, pretty much every 2-3 hours. Guess I better get used to it, at least I get to roll over and go back to bed now, not so much in a few weeks.

Best moment this past week: Making it to full term, completing our labor and delivery class and washing clothes for our little fella. Also got to catch up with my BFF who is in town and meet her little one. He's adorable and such a good baby, I hope to be so lucky.

Miss Anything?  Being able to bend over and pick things up off the ground.

Movement: Not sure how he's able to move, but he's still got some space and is making full use of it.

Food Cravings: Watermelon and chicken salad. I could eat them both all day, everyday.

Anything making you queasy or sick: My size. If you havent picked up on it, I have body image and weight issues, always have. Stems from being an overweight child and young teen. So this entire process has been a struggle for me, but it is getting really hard at this point. I'm just SO big. Don't worry, I'm not dumb about it and eat a healthy diet and do what's best for baby. I'm just saying I've had a hard time mentally dealing with the weight gain.

Labor sigs: Have been having some mild Braxton Hicks contractions, nothing too intense. I have a big work project coming to an end this Wednesday and will feel much better after that is over. I'll be ok having him anytime after that.

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: Still off but I can still get them on from time to time, just don't want them to get stuck on so I leave them off.

Happy or Moody: Happy most of the time, but quick to snap.

Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy the peace and quiet. Pamper yourself with a pedicure!

Looking forward to: The end of this journey and holding our sweet baby boy.
