37 Weeks (&2d)/FULL-TERM!

How Far Along: 37 Weeks! FULL-TERM!!!!! Holy cow, I have carried a baby to FULL-TERM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How Big is Little Miss E: Almost 7lbs! My goodness! I swear I won't know what to do with a full-term, regular sized baby! I don't even know how to prepare for it!! We are so freaking out that she will weigh more than Natalee in just a few months! That blows my mind!!


Symptoms: Contractions, but nothing too bad or regular...blah! Tired and weak for sure. I can barely carry the girls up the stairs without dying! Still pain in my right leg and having some back pain, along with still recovering from my bad cold and gaining my vice back. I swore my water was going to break from coughing so hard...but it didn't.

Weight Gain: Around 155-157lbs. Not bad to say the least!


Emotions: Doing good. Soaking in every feeling and thought of being pregnant, because according to my husband this is the LAST time I will be pregnant! ;)


Movement: All of the time! She NEVER settles down and it's starting to hurt! She moves so much, especially in the evening and at night. Squirming and squirming, like she's trying so hard to get out, but haven't figured just how to do it yet!


Best Moment of the Week: Making it to FULL-TERM! Phew!


Maternity Clothes: Of course!


Stretchmarks: Just the same ones from the girls I'm guessing, and hoping!


Sleep: Going okay!


Food Cravings: Anything and everything! Loading up on the pineapple and Eggplant Parm (if I can find a good place to get it!)....anything to go into labor soon.


Aversions: Cream based food!


Gender: A Little Miss!


What I Miss: Wine!!!


What I am Looking Forward to: Meeting this little girl! Everyday that passes gets closer and closer and that is exciting, no matter how she is born! This TUESDAY makes 3 WEEKS until my scheduled c-section, but honestly I will be VERY surprised if I make it 40w2d!


And here I am at 37w1d:

  1. You look great! Their movements do start to get pretty painful at the end, I swear it felt like Parker was trying to come out THROUGH my stomach. You're so close, I can't wait to see what happens. :)
