37 and 38 Weeks




I was doing so well updating every week... then I got behind, and preparing for our little guy started to take up all my free time.  However, I wanted to get at least one last update in before he arrives.

Size of Baby: According to babycenter.com he is about 6.8lbs and 19 1/2 inches long!  We had an ultrasound a week and a half ago, and they said he was weighing about 6lbs 5oz.

Maternity Clothes: That's pretty much all I can wear.  All my shirts are officially too short.

Gender: It's a BOY!  

Belly Button In/Out: It is officially out... ugh!

 Stretch Marks: Thankfully none so far... heres to hoping they stay away!

Labor Signs: I had a bunch of Braxton Hicks contractions yesterday.  We were afraid he would make an early appearance, but so far no real contractions that I know of.

Movement: He is moving a lot still, but I can tell he is running out of room.

Sleep: According to Patrick I have started snoring... it doesn't bother me, but I think I keep him up most nights.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach... I'm not much for this side sleeping.

What I am looking forward to: Finishing work this week, then just waiting for the big moment... I can't believe it could be anytime!

Cravings/Aversions: Nothing really, although I did have a funny craving for ham the other day.

Symptoms:  Swollen fingers and feet... and Braxton Hicks contractions.

Best Moment This Week: 
Getting the final touches on his room, and spending some quality time with Patrick.
