Weekly Update: 37 Weeks

How far along: 37 weeks. That means baby is full term!

How Am I Feeling?: I've been feeling pretty good. Starting to get uncomfortable though.

Mood: Extremely happy and excited. I just can't wait!

Clothes: I just keep re-wearing the same things. I don't really care anymore.
Sleep: Still having trouble sleeping. Luckily I don't have to get up at any time in the morning so if I have a bad night (like last night), I can just sleep a little longer in the morning and be okay.

Cravings: none anymore.

Gender: girl

Movements: She's active but she's running out of room. I can feel her wiggling around trying to get comfortable. She seems to do that a lot. I don't mind but sometimes it really does hurt!

Belly Button: I'm hoping it will go back in. No such luck so far though.

Best Moment This Week: At my doctor's appointment when I found out that I'm about 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced.
What I Miss: At my friend's wedding on Saturday, they had little glasses of wine sitting out for people to drink. I REALLY REALLY wanted one.

What I am Looking Forward To: Baby coming....

Milestones This Week: Baby is full term! Yay! Also, we had our breastfeeding class on Tuesday which means we're now finished with classes. That means we are 100% prepared for everything, right???

How Big is Baby?: According to The Bump, the baby is still the size of a watermelon. I don't feel like my stomach is big enough to be housing a watermelon though!

Your Baby: 37 Weeks
Your baby is continuing to grow and gain weight during these last few weeks. Also, he is practicing breathing movements in preparation for the outside world. Your baby will also turn his head toward light and sound just as a newborn would. Around this time your baby's head should be down. If not he is in a breech position (the baby's bottom or legs come into the pelvis first). By the end of this week, your pregnancy will have come full term. Your baby can be born any day now. Your baby is anywhere from 19 to 20 inches long and weighs approximately 6.5 pounds.
