37 Weeks

Sweater: Banana Republic (similar), Shirt: Target (similar), Leggings: Old Navy

How far along: 37 Weeks. We are officially full term.

How big is baby: Maybe about 6.5lbs. Or about the size of a BABY. Seriously guys. A baby. This guy is bigger than my little brother Dylan was when he was born.

Total weight gain: about +23lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Bought two nursing tank tops for the hospital (and beyond). And a nursing bra. Holy moly, this is getting close (I’m packing the hospital bag tonight)!

Sleep: Still really great. No complaints. Except, when I get up to pee (8 times a night) I have to roll my way out of bed.

Best moment of the week: So much Christmassing with the husband this weekend.

Food Cravings: Cheeseburgers still. And orange juice.

Food Aversions: Nothing.

Symptoms: Still very uncomfortable (I’m sure this will last until he’s here… and then it will be a whole new kind of discomfort). Lots of emotions happening. Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions (and they’re getting a little more uncomfortable). Oh, and this might err on the side of TMI, but I lost a little bit of my mucus plug yesterday. Just a small bit.

Movement: About the same. Smaller movements for the most part. More readjusting and stretching with a few jabs mixed in.

What I’m looking forward to: Christmas tomorrow! Our last as a twosome.

What I miss: Family. Snow. But mostly family.
