37 Weeks

Thursday, May 8, 2014


How far along: 37 weeks (ready to hit 38 on Saturday!)
Size comparison: Baby Hawk is about the size of a bunch of swiss chard (I have no reference for this).  19 inches long and approximately 6 1/3 pounds. 
Baby nickname: Baby H.
Baby bump:  HUGE! I swear it is growing by the day.  I can't bend over, roll over, stand up, sit down, or fight fight fight.
Gender Prediction:  I don't know anymore, I just want to find out!!
Weight gain: 34 pounds.  Yeah, tell me about it. 
Maternity clothes: Maternity clothes (dresses and skirts). some of my own athletic shorts and Bryce's t-shirts! 
Stretch marks: I'm still not sure if the little thing on my stomach is actually a stretch mark or not.
Belly button in or out: In.
Wedding rings on or off:   Off.  
Best moment this week:  Doctors appointment!
Worst moment this week: I can't really recall anything in particular.  Guess it was a good week!
Miss anything:  Feeling comfortable.  Feet that don't swell.  Not having to pee every single time I stand up.
Movement:  This baby is constantly on the go.  Constantly.  Hope that means he/she will be tired after his/her arrival! ;-)
Cravings:  Fruit.  Including, but not limited to the actual frut itself, frut juice, fruit snacks, fruit popsicles.  Any kind that doesn't give me heartburn. 
Queasy or sick:  The usual heartburn!
Labor signs:  Braxton-hicks contractions every so often, and some cramping with dull back pain/cramping, usually at night.  I'm also almost completely effaced and dilated about 1 cm.  Our doctor said the baby's head is "very low" and she felt it!  So crazy!
Happy or moody: Happy!!!
Looking forward to:  Meeting this baby!!!  I'm ready to ge this show on the road!! (In about a week!)
