37 Weeks

So I blew it on 36 weeks....so here is the rundown from the last few days.   If I think to snap a picture I will.

How Far Along: 37 Weeks 5 Days

How Big is Baby: Think Watermelon.....Weighing in around 6 - 7 lbs and 19 inches.   Geez...I am running out of room

 

Weight Gain: Going to back track on the weight...apparently I was wearing heavy clothes, because at the 36 week appointment I had only gained 25 lbs....the nurse decided that it was my clothes b/c I hadn't lost 4 lbs.   And this past week I was at 26...so 1 lbs in one week.   We are growing, growing, growing!!!

Sleep: Still making the usual trips to bathroom, but sleeping really good in between those periods.   I am also getting sleepy earlier and earlier....back to that tired stage from the first trimester.

Best moment this week: Been enjoying the past two week of maternity leave.   I actually got the nursery finished...just waiting for Baby Hutch to get here to accessorize a few things, knocked out several doctor appointment for me and Amelia and hit up the Water Park!!!  We also had a blast at Amelia's Birthday Party!!!

Food Cravings: Still downing the water and Gatorade.

Foods I Can't Stand: Chocolate = heartburn from Hell...even with the Zantac!!!

 

Movement: I get this punch on my side, then an arch on the other that is getting pretty painful....things seem to be running out of room

What I miss:  Wearing normal clothes...really miss my comfy shorts and tops for the summer

What I am looking forward to: Only 8 more days to go!!!! Getting to meet this little one!!!

Milestones: 8 more days left!!!

Working on My Fitness: Walking and going to a Spin Class.   Really have enjoyed the change of pace with Spin.  Such a great workout !!!

Other: I have dilated a little and having contractions here and there....going to the doctor on Wednesday again for my last visit, then Friday for Pre-op at the Hospital.   We will do a final platelet check, but they are holding steady above 100, so I am very thankful for that!  We are schedule for June 4th at 11:00.  My only concern is I am a major breakfast eater so I should be a major diva by the time they take me back for surgery!!!  Oh Well!!!
