37 Weeks = FULL TERM

How far along? 37 Weeks and 4 Days

Size of the baby? Baby weighs 6.3lbs and is approx 19 inches long - and I'm definitely running out of room. I'm at the uncomfortable stage.

Maternity Clothes? Oh yes! There are still a few non-maternity stuff that I can wear, but that's getting pretty limited

Gender? Surprise!

Movement? All the time- I love watching my belly move with the Baby

Labor Signs? Braxton-Hicks contractions are now a normal part of my day. I've had maybe 1-2 true contractions, but nothing to get excited about.

Sleep? I toss and turn a lot now. And waking at least once a night to pee. I really didn't do this early on in pregnancy, so this is a new (and not so great) thing. I love sleep. Once I'm up it takes me up to 2 hours to fully fall back to sleep so this momma is tired!

Cravings? Back to Mexican and sweets!

Symptoms? I got some relieve this week.. Baby has started to drop (visibly so) and thus my acid reflux is much better - but I'm still tired of dealing with it

Exercise? At least once a week

Weight Gain? 28-30 lbs (yikes) but right on track!

Best Moment of the Week? These last 2 weekends were filled with baby showers and we feel beyond blessed and loved.. and a little intimidated. We cannot believe how generous our family and friends are - we got almost everything that we need any anything else we can get as we need it (bottles, mainly). Dad and Jen came in for the shower as well and we loved getting to see them again - it means so much to us that they flew out for the shower. Next time we see Jen we'll have a little one for her to meet :)

I love seeing Rich's reactions to everything. He seems to be getting more and more excited (and overwhelmed). He wanted to take inventory last night of all the baby items and he gets really excited and cute when going through everything. He has been a super-stud of a supporter... he took my mom to get some final things for the baby yesterday which I am so appreciative for since I had to work.
