How far along? 37 Weeks. Just 19 days left!
Total weight gain: 26 lbs.
How big is baby? Baby is watermelon sized from here on out. Doc says he weighs about 6.5 lbs right now.
Sleep? Yeah, sure!
Best moment this week? Checking “choose a pediatrician” off our list of things to do. Found a very nice one and we really like her! Bonus is, her office is about 8 blocks from our house!
Movement? Oh man. It looks like my stomach is a big egg and he’s trying to hatch his way out. These kicks are powerful, and he stretches really hard too. Crazy kid!
Food cravings? Anything and everything. I am insatiably hungry AND thirsty lately.
Labor signs? Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions. Doc says I’m 60% effaced but not dilated really at all. Baby’s head is at a +1 station. He’s almost ready to go! (See photo below for explanation.)
What I miss: Normal clothes and shoes! I am so sick of maternity pants!
What I’m looking forward to: Finishing up some baby shopping this weekend and relaxing with Sammy.
It won’t be long now! Hang in there. Can’t wait to see him. Love you!
Yeah! Can’t wait!
