37 Weeks

 

How far along: 37 weeks

Size of the baby: About the size of a stalk of swiss chard (almost 6.3 lbs and 19 inches long). It is getting tight in there!

Total weight gain/lost: Funny my weight seemed to come on quick and now it is slow or non-existent, but I am not complaining.

Maternity clothes: Whatever fits - I'm not being too picky these days.

Stretch marks: A few new ones - expectedly so since I think this baby is going to pop through my belly button.

Best moments of the week: Great doctor's visit and finalizing the name!!!!

Movement: There is an alien in there!

Food cravings: Ice water and grape juice.

Gender: It's a BOY! A baby brother!!

Labor signs: Braxton-Hicks.

Belly Button in or out: Definitely an outie - seriously, I don't think it can stretch any further.

What I miss: Having a normal, agile body.

What I am looking forward to: Holding our little one - becoming a family of four.

Weekly wisdom: Continuing to trust God and my body and praying for a great delivery!

Milestones: Finding a name, packing most of my hospital bag, and setting up the co-sleeper.
