37 weeks

How far along:  37 weeks (on Monday)

How big is baby:  On Monday he will be approximately the size of a watermelon.  WOW.

 

Total weight gain:  I have gained 5 lbs since my first visit.

Maternity clothes: I am pretty much living in sweats at home.  I have one dress pair of maternity pants and one pair of maternity jeans.  I still wear my regular shirts except they are getting too short!  I have a limited selection of scrubs that still fit me for work.

Sleep:  Sleep for the past few weeks has been really rough.  I need help turning over in bed (awful, I know), no position is comfortable and my heartburn is AWFUL laying down.  The past couple nights I have only had to wake up 2-3 times to go to the bathroom so that is a plus!

Best moment of the week:  Getting the majority of the stuff we need for the baby bought.  If he was to come now - we would have everything we need to survive. haha.

Food cravings:  Ice cream.  Cereal. 

Food aversions:  I'm convinced that I will never eat meat again... :)

Symptoms:  Blurry vision, headaches, swelling feet/ankles, back pain and general discomfort.  I guess that's what you get when you have a WATERMELON inside of you! haha

Movement:  Movement is slowing down these days.  Just bigger movements when he moves.  I swear sometimes I can feel him "practice breathing" in there.  Pretty cool.

Gender: Still a boy :)

What I’m looking forward to: My next appt.  I love my appts!

What I miss:  Sleeping.  Walking without having to say "BRYSON SLOW DOWN! I CAN'T WADDLE THAT FAST!"

Next appt:  Frday - the 9th.  We have weekly appts now.  I love our doctor and I love going to my appts!
