Week 37

Full Term, Baby Girl!!!!!


How far along? 37 weeks
Size of baby? Bunch of Swiss Chard (19 inches long, weighs 6.3 pounds)
Maternity clothes? Oh ya, and feeling like I'm going to outgrow those soon.

Sleep? Still hit or miss. It seems like I rotate between good nights and bad ones. 
Movement? Yes, she loves to push her butt out. She must like to stretch those legs!
Food cravings? No cravings, but I could be mistaken for the cookie monster. Or candy...great timing since Halloween candy is everywhere!
Anything making you queasy or sick? No

Symptoms? Pressure and feeling sore. I still can't accept that I can't do everything that I used to so I tend to lift things that I shouldn't or clean things that I shouldn't and then I pay for it with pulled muscles, pinched nerves, etc. Hopefully this little babe doesn't get her stubbornness from me :) A homemade heating pad has been my best friend this week.
Gender? Girl
Looking forward to? We ordered the rest of our "must-have" items from our registry that we didn't get as gifts and I'm patiently awaiting their arrival in the mail. Then we can finish setting up her room and I'll feel ready for her arrival!
Best moment this week? We had a great week! Lots of get togethers with our friends, we installed the car seat, organized her room some more, started packing our bag for the hospital, and we made it to a full term baby!!!
Quote of the week? When taking my weekly pictures, Jimbo looked at my belly and said "That is incredible!" It was so funny to me and the look of shock (and maybe even horror) on his face was priceless.
Fun Fact about baby? If the baby were to be born right now, she would be able to live and breath on her own and would be perfectly healthy. She could possibly have hair on her head, about 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long! She's gaining about half an ounce a day (and I definitely feel her getting heavier and taking up more space!). She's busy practicing blinking, sucking, gripping, inhaling and exhaling for when she is born.
