How far along? 37 weeks! Time is starting to slow down (except when I remember that I am now down to less than 3 weeks to the due date). Some sources say that 37 weeks is considered full-term, but the new guidelines mark 37-38 weeks as early term and 39-40 as full term (41 weeks is late term, and 42 weeks is post term). I know if he decided to show up now, everything would be okay, so I am fine with him showing up any day now :)
Total weight gain/loss: As of my appointment last week, I had gained a total of 25 lbs.
Maternity clothes? I can't let myself go clothes shopping anymore. I gravitate toward the maternity section, and then remember that I only have 3 weeks to go, and buying more maternity clothes is not worth it... I'll make due with what I have.
Stretch marks? I'm still in the clear... knocking on wood though.
Symptoms: My hips are KILLING me the last couple of days. Also, heartburn is back.
Sleep: I'm getting up now 2-3 times per night and I am over it. Half the time, a dog steals my side of the bed while I'm running to the bathroom, and it becomes a huge ordeal to get my covers and pillows back from Lucy or Kale.
Best moment this week: Realizing that my belly is now bigger than a bowling ball... I went bowling with a friend today, and asked her to take a picture of me holding the ball (thinking that it would be funny to see that my belly and the ball were the same size). I looked at the picture and realized that this baby bump is bigger than the bowling ball! The whole thing was pretty funny. We've also enjoyed being spontaneous this past weekend. We know that life is going to get more complicated pretty soon, so it was nice to agree to some last minute fun time with friends and family.
Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows, and the whole world can tell.
Miss Anything? Not aching all the time. I feel like an old lady lately.
Movement: Still rocking and rolling around like crazy. Though, he's gotta be running out of space in there!
Food cravings: Maybe I'll get post-pregnancy cravings?
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still not a fan of most meats.
Have you started to show yet: Getting bigger every day!
Baby is a: BOY
Belly Button in or out? Still in
Wedding rings on or off? The rings are off until after the little guy gets here.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Still happy, but I can lose my patience pretty quickly.
Looking forward to: Our 5th wedding anniversary on Friday!
