37 Weeks

 

Pumpkin this week...

~ Baby is full term!
~ Baby keeps breathing, sucking, blinking, and pivoting in preperation for being born!

Size of the Baby?
Baby is a Winter Melon... what is that?!
And I feel like 6.2-9.2 lbs is quite a range!!

Total Weight Gain/Loss?

Ugh I'm over this.  At this point I'm +34 lbs since the day I found out I was pregnant.

Maternity Clothes?

Same old same old

Stretch Marks?

Still none- yay!

Best Moments?

Finding out I am 1 cm dilated!  It's progress!

Movement?
Lots!  I swear he knows when we are talking about him.

Nausea/Vomitting?

Nope.

Labor Signs?

Braxton Hicks contractions last week at the Blake Shelton concert made for an exciting evening!  Since then, I've had some other signs- but you probably don't want to hear about that :)

Gender?

We will have a son!

Belly Button In or Out?
More of an outtie than an innie.

Wedding Rings On or Off?

Still on!  It gets a little tight sometimes when I'm warm but for the most part it's still comfortable.

Sleep?

Although I couldn't get comfy on Tuesday night, I have had less bathroom breaks which has been really nice!

Wisdom?

I would highly recommend labor/birth classes.  We completed our 4 classes last night and although nothing was shocking or anything we had no idea about- it was really good to discuss things.  It brought up a few things we had not thought about yet as well as let us know options we didn't even know we would have.  I just feel more prepared!

What am I most excited about?

I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm excited that we are progressing and getting closer!  I still keep telling myself that he is coming late but at this point, we should have our son in less than a month!  The whole 'it could be any day' is more real and makes me very excited and happy!

Cheers,
