37 Weeks...Full Term!

How far along? 37 weeks

Baby is the size of a...Stalk of Swiss chard, winter melon (20" long & 7 lbs)

Total weight gain? 31 lbs

Symptoms? Still have mid & lower back pain but this last week it seems to be less than it has been. My heels hurt if I am on my feet a lot during the day.  And I definitely am getting tired much quicker at night than before, very rarely these days do I not fall asleep on the couch before 9:30pm.    
Contractions? Definitely having more Braxton Hicks.
Food cravings? Still loving fruit but my cravings for sweets has lessen...won't turn them down but not really "craving" them either
Sleeping? Getting up once most nights to go to the bathroom.  Thankful that I made it this long without having to get up and glad I only need to get up once.

Feeling any movement? I don't know who decided that babies don't move as much the last few weeks but Baby B is not one of those babies! B is definitely movin' and groovin' but luckily still not painful or uncomfortable.    

Swelling? Not normally, but do have some after walking Gibson.

Best moment this week? Just relaxing

Working out? Normal workout last week...bootcamp, yoga, & pilates. Though officially decided last week was my last boot camp, made it a full 9 months figured I deserve to give myself a few week break.  Still going to keep up with yoga and pilates though.

This Week's To Do? 37 week Dr appt, pack hospital bag, get car seat in the car, choose pediatrician, celebrate our 3 year anniversary and Colorado baby shower.

Maternity Session Sneak Peak

We are officially full term!  I have had lots of people asking if I'm ready to be done?  I am not at the point of being done, done yet.  I am not really "over" anything since the pregnancy has been fairly easy.  Though I am getting very excited (and nervous) to meet Baby B.  It would be nice to be able to get up easier out of a chair and not to have to roll out of bed, I'm sorta getting over that. I think I am going to miss being pregnant a bit as crazy as that sounds.

We got lots of rain the last week and are pretty soggy but luckily have had no flooding around us.  It is mainly north or south of us.  It is amazing the amount of flooding and destruction due to it!  I was ready to see the sun again but all the rain has been a nice excuse to just relax.  We got together with a couple friends over the weekend, made some meals to freeze, and just relaxed.

We are pretty much done with the prep work and are down to the waiting game. Both Jason and I are thinking that I will go into labor just a couple days before or after my due date, so aren't really in the "it could happen at anytime" mode yet. Coming soon though!  Maybe that is why we keep putting off packing the hospital bag and getting the car seat in the car.  :)
