37 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 37 weeks

Size of baby: Baby Nelson is the size of a watermelon

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've gained 33 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Maternity clothes if I'm wearing anything besides sweats and tshirts

Gender: We won't know until the baby gets here! I think I'm starting to lean towards another boy, but then I think girl sometimes, too. Daddy thinks girl. After seeing the ultrasound pictures, most people in my family think boy. Most other people think girl.

Movement: Yes! Feeling movement a lot now

Sleep: I'm not waking up as often, so I'm sleeping better ( I still wake up 1-3 times a night). I've been using my big body pillow for the last few weeks, and it's helped me sleep better.

What I miss: A life without back pain and heartburn! (this baby better have a head full of hair...)

Cravings: Thin mint Girl Scout cookies :)

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions and a few real contractions, too.

Best Moment this week: we are ready to meet this baby! Unfortunately, I haven't made any real cervical progress. :( But we did hear the heart beat at the OB, which I always enjoy.The house is clean, our bags are packed, and we are ready to go!! Come on baby! And I got my mani/pedi this week, so I'm even more ready!
