37 Weeks

I'm 37 weeks!



Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  37 Weeks

Size of baby:  19 to 22 inches from crown to toes… and she weighs ~6.3 pounds (about the size of Swiss Chard).

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  According to my appointment on Wednesday, I’ve lost 2 pounds (I’m guessing I’m somewhere between those 2 pounds since I’m fluctuating around that weight..)…so ~8 lbs according to the doctor’s scale. According to my scale, I’m at ~13 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Yes, but I can fit in some of my regular shirts still. I vary in between maternity and regular shirts.

Gender:  It’s a precious baby girl!

Movement: Every day.  She is getting stronger in her kicks and they are more often. Her newest trick is to stretch her legs so that her butt is on my right side and her feet are on my left sticking out….it’s really not very nice J.

Sleep: I’m waking up atleast three times a night. I really miss deep sleep.

What I miss: Energy and Cool Weather – these 100 degree days need to go away, like NOW…

Cravings: Cake and Sweets kinda…back in the phase where I eat because I need to…

Symptoms:  Jabs and flips. Feeling panicked that this baby will be here soon. Like I have no energy.

Best Moment this past week:  This was a great week! It started with our church shower where we were blessed with many gifts! While mom and I were there, the men (my dad and AJ) put together the hutch and dresser so it is ready for decorating!!  Then, I got the car seat checked in my car so it’s ready to go! And, the doctor’s visit went very well and he let us know that she is REALLY low (for whatever that is worth, I’m hoping that means she’s going to come when she wants, not when we, er the doctor, wants…).
