Week 37... FULL TERM!

Week 37
·  Size of baby:  He weighs 6.14 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard) and is officially considered full term!!

Weight gain: 132 on the scale yesterday. I am not really moving up or down anymore with this pregnancy. I doubt I will make it to 135.  
·  Symptoms experienced: My silly little man keeps showing heart decelerations during contractions on the NSTs and that’s no bueno. And contractions. Non regular. Laying on my side is becoming considerably less comfortable and a little painful when I roll and stretch the muscles that have been pulled by his weight. And using the bathroom every 3 hours. Especially fun at night.

·  How I feel: Tired Tired Tired. All these dr appointments are draining. 4 this week! Two are (to me) early…. I have to be there at 845 and then I sit for the NST and then they send me to L&D until 1ish. This has happened after both my NSTs so far... let’s see if the trend continues with the next one on Friday. I am beyond excited he is now full term and can come whenever he wants (please wait until after my baby showerA).
·  What I've been craving: Water. My fluids measure at 19.8.. so I am not dehydrated. Just thirsty. Hubby had soda the other day and I was really jealous. I want Barqs. And cereal, yum.

·  What I miss: Not setting a timer when I start eating.
·  Best moment: Our growth scan on Monday showed a beautiful little man measuring on track and not big because of GD!! We got to see him swallow, suck on his lip, stick his tongue out, and move his fists into his face. AND the tech said it looks like she can see a little hair! HE WONT BE BALD!!!! I have gotten to see his on ultrasound 3 times already this week and its only Wednesday. He’s beautiful!   
·  Items purchased: Nothing this week. We assembled the kitchen cart we ordered and set up Hubs new Keurig :)
