Our Little Blessing at 37 Weeks and 2Days!
How far along? 37 Weeks--Full Term!!!
Baby's size and stats? Our baby is now considered "full term," even though my due date is three weeks away. If I would go into labor now, her lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb. Info taken from pregnancy.com
Gain? At my appointment yesterday I lost one pound! So now I am up 27 pounds this pregnancy! My Doctor did tell me that most of the time when you gain weight towards the end it could be water weight.

Maternity clothes? OH YEAH. I am in all maternity, and some of my smaller maternity shirts are starting to ride up! I cannot believe how big my belly is getting! I recently purchased some nursing bras, and nursing gowns from Wal Mart. I was really happy with how comfy they are!
Sleep? Sleep has been rough. I need to pee quite often, and when I am not getting up to pee I am trying to get comfy, my legs have started to get numb again.
Foods I am loving? This week I was hungry for Wendy's...weird!!
Foods I am hating? Can't think of anything really except the grilled chicken.
Best moment this week? Finding out at my Doctor appointment that I am 1 cm dilated, and 50% effaced!!!!!!! My Doctor also said that she is measuring at about 36 weeks, she's been measuring about a week or two behind through the whole pregnancy, they said she will probably not be too big. She was able to tell me that information based on my measurements, not through ultrasound, so she could be off by a little. Also getting my changing center delivered, and getting the Nursery almost finished up!
Movement? Her movements have been so much more distinct. Like, I can feel her foot a lot, and also I can feel when she tries to stretch (at least that's what I think she's doing).
Symptoms/Emotions?
1. VERY EXCITED now that I have made some progress!!!
2. Cramping, and also some contractions that are getting kinda strong sometimes!
3. The To Do list in my head keeps repeating itself to me over and over again! I must say that the list is quite small these days!!! YAY!!
4. Upper back pain, under/around my shoulder blade. I am not sure if this is associated with my pregnancy or not, but it is awful. I am seeing my chiropractor again very soon!
4. My lower back pain has not been as constant this week, I can really feel it when I have my cramping.
5. I have just noticed since I hit 37 weeks that I have been having a lot more discharge!!!
6. MAJOR NESTING! I have been cleaning/organizing every spare minute since Sunday! I am so happy that I finally got some motivation back! It seemed most of my pregnancy I had no desire/motivation to do anything! So now I am just lovin it!!
Gender? A GIRL...Our Sweet Savannah
What I'm looking forward to? Hopefully completing the Nursery by the end of this week, so I can finally share it with you!! The changing center exceeded ALL of my expectations! I am just waiting on a few items to arrive, then I think it will be complete!!! I find myself just wanting to be in the Nursery all the time!!
Milestones: Being full term, and making progress since my last weeks Doctor appointment!
