37 Weeks

Full Term! Yayyy!! Though that means very little to me because she MUST stay in there until her daddy comes home on the 26th. :)

I was laying awake last night thinking...there are definitely things about being pregnant I am going to miss. I am going to miss feeling her every little wiggle and hiccup. Its so strange to me that she will be OUT. Does that even make sense? I have been a little nervous and afraid. Its a scary world!! and well-meaning loving people could drop her or make her sick or she could get too cold or too hot..or not have enough food. So many things can go wrong. For a control freak like me, this is very nerve-wracking!

I need to focus on the positive. Yes, I am going to have to share her..but also..that means she gets to experience so much more love...not just mine (which is ALOT).. but she gets to meet her daddy! That man loves her sooooo much! So I guess it's okay that she is coming out after all.

Here is the bump!

How far along? 37 Weeks (+2 days)
Total weight gain/loss?  44 lbs..ugh yes..BUT I drank 32 oz of water, a smoothie, had toast AND didn't take off my boots...so I estimate my real weight gain to be about 42..haha..
Maternity clothes?  if it stretches over this belly I will wear it...B's clothes, Maternity clothes, pajamas..yup IM THAT LADY
Stretch marks? Still just those few on my right hip...fingers still crossed
Sleep? I have been really congested from allergies these past few weeks so that has further interrupted my beauty sleep..getting up to blow the nose..then pee..then go back to sleep...
Best moment last week? Finishing her nursery!! It bring such a calm to me knowing its all done (for the most part)
Movement? She gets the hiccups a few times a day...I feel so bad for her when she does. I know its a good sign and that its from her practicing breathing but poor baby...her lil head just bumps against my bladder for anywhere from 30 mins to an hour a time..i even yelled BOO! once to see if it would help..but it didn't and then i felt horrible
Food cravings?  apparently anything fattening
Gender? A sweet baby GIRL!
Labor signs? still 50% effaced and closed
Belly button in/out? half innie half outtie..getting flatter though!
What I miss:  COFFEE!! and a Full night's sleep..although that is probably gone for quite some time anyway..
What I am looking forward to:  Meeting her, bringing her home, watching Brandon with her..lots of good lovey things
