37 weeks pregnant!

How far along: 37 weeks pregnant! YAY! I made it to full term

Size of baby: watermelon
(19 - 22 inches & 6.5 pounds)

Weight gain/loss: the scale went up again and that is all I'm going to say about it this time.

Maternity clothes: it makes no sense to get anything new now but at my awesome surprise shower my friend Amy got me a couple nursing tops! I'm looking forward to wearing those :)

Movement: still tons of movement! I can see Bub's move around like waves, lots of rolling going on in there. And head butting, this baby LOVES to head butt my "business".

Sleep: I'm exhausted, SO tired! I'm still waking up all the time at night but of course that just comes with pregnancy right?! And poor Cam, I'm still snoring :(

Cravings: carbs, sugar, fruit... I just wanna eat lots of fruit. I REALLY wanted McDonald's today but I stopped myself.


Symptoms: LOTS of swelling in my hands, legs and feet, it's getting harder to bend my knees because of it. I'm getting cramps, "stabby crotch", Braxton Hicks, and tons of pressure. The doctor was not kidding when she said that it just gets more uncomfortable the farther you go, but that's ok! If you take a peek at the picture above you may see why I thought baby dropped, it's lower but not "engaged" yet. Hopefully that happens sooner than later, but I keep telling Bub's to come when he/she's ready.

Best moment of the week: if you read my earlier post then you know my amazing friends threw me a surprise baby shower! It was AWESOME! I had so much fun! I'm SO lucky :)


Another fun thing is we chose outfits for Bubba! I picked the girl ones and Cam picked the boy ones. We'll just have to wait and see which set we get to use!

I also had an ultrasound on the same day as my baby shower. We found out that Bub's is still in the 90th percentile for leg length and currently at approximately 7 lbs 2 ounces (give or take 500 grams). This means babe is average and my GD isn't seriously affecting the growth (YAY!). However, it is measuring at 38 weeks (which would make d-day April 18th) so maybe we'll have an early delivery?! I'm getting membrane sweeps at my next two appointments so we'll just wait and see!

I guess we're going to do Cams birthday celebration early to make sure he gets one (his birthday is April 17th!). At the ultrasound Leigh-Ann (who is the only one who knows the gender) gave us a gift! A GENDER SPECIFIC gift! So Cam immediately hid it on me... But I know that somewhere in my house is a present that will tell me Bubbas gender. It's SO hard not to tear the house apart to find it but I'm doing a good job at resisting :)

Ok, time to nap now, I'm exhausted and Bubba is head butting again!
