- 37 Week Belly Bump -
How far along? 37 weeks - it is NOT possible that we only have 3 weeks left at the most?!
Total weight gain: Too much to count
Baby is the size of a: Winter melon??
Maternity clothes? Most definitely. And still scrubs and tennis shoes for work.
Stretch marks? Nothing new here
Sleep: Still can't complain!
Best moment this week: Going home for Thanksgiving and spending time with my family...our last trip home without Little Miss in the backseat. Unfortunately I did not take a single picture the entire time. I really need to be better about that, but energy was limited apparently.
Miss anything? Pretty content right now.
Movement: You bet.
Food cravings: Pumpkin pie - I only had one piece over Thanksgiving and am now needing more.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Gender: Sweet baby girl :)
Baby Name: Yep!
Labor Signs: Just more braxton-hicks. Have had a little bit of cramping in my back and lower abdomen this week a couple times that I had to sit until they went away.
Symptoms: Still have quite a bit of heartburn (but a little better than before), lots of swelling, more and more tired.
Comments Solicited from Others: My medical assistant at work told me she thought I had dropped this week?
Belly Button in or out? Flat as a board
Wedding rings on or off? Still off
Happy or Moody most of the time: Increasingly more uncomfortable, but still content
Looking forward to: Holding that sweet little thing in our arms in just 3 short weeks (maybe less!!) :)
Our next appointment is this Friday and I am anxious to see if anything more is happening. I didn't think much about being dilated because I know that a lot of women walk around dilated for awhile, but being 30% effaced is kind of exciting. As my dad said "It's that much less you have to do at the end." I hadn't thought of it that way, but it's true.
Love and Prayers in Week 38, Sweet Baby Girl!
