Bumpdate - 37 Weeks

How far along?  37 Weeks. We will be meeting baby in 2.5 weeks if not sooner, but I can definitely wait the 2.5 weeks.

Baby is the size of? About the length of a bunch of swiss chard. Baby measures about 19 inches long and weighs about 6 1/3 pounds.

Total weight loss/gain? Gained 41 pounds

Maternity Clothes?  Yes

Stretch Marks?  None so far but noticed some red marks on my stomach this morning hopefully it was just from me scratching or how I was sleeping.

Sleep? Not great.  Toss and turn and pee a lot.  Heartburn is pretty bad at night.  Sometimes I cough so hard I feel weak or like I'm going to throw up.

Best moment of this week?  Had doctors apt this morning.  All was good.  Was a little protein in my urine but my BP was fine.  Doctor said sometimes normal when apt is first thing in the morning since I've been laying down all night and my body hasn't had time to flush it out yet.

Worst moment of this week?  Pure exhaustion.  Not wanting to do anything but have so much to do.  Just want to lay on the couch and watch movies.

Miss Anything?  My energy and wanting to do things.  Its getting hot outside so going outside with Harrison to play is tough for long periods of time.

Movement?  Movement has been off and on.  Just when I get nervous that I haven't felt any kicks in a little bit, baby starts kicking.

Food Cravings?  Milk and milkshakes

Anything make you queasy or sick?  Something made me throw up my breakfast yesterday, I think it was the smell of Harrison's banana when he handed me the banana peel when he was done.

Symptoms?  Tired, heartburn like crazy, I have had a terrible migrane headache since last night and it wont go away today.

Have you started to show yet?  Oh yea!










Gender Predictions?  I still think a boy since this baby has kicked a lot the entire pregnancy.

Labor signs?  Braxton hicks and painful when baby moves a lot.  I can feel and see feet coming through my stomach.  Its so creepy!

Belly Button in or out?  Still half in half out.

Exercise? Ha No.  Bending over to pick up toys just about kills me.

Happy or Moody most of the time?
  Still pretty happy, just want to rest a lot and put my feet up.

Looking forward to?  Finding out what the gender of this baby is!!! 

Any irrational worries? Same old same old. Delivery complications, recovery after C-section, managing two little ones and a crazy dog!
