37 Weeks- full term


Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 37 weeks - I now know I only have 4 days to go and he will be here because I will be induced on October 2nd.

Total Weight Gain:  too much

Maternity Clothes:I for sure am growing out of my maternity shirts. I feel like the baby has dropped a bit and now i can't keep the bottom of my belly in my shirt.

Best Moment of the Week: The news that this little one is coming on Tuesday! I am also thankful for the rest I have been getting prior to his arrival.

Gender: Boy! I had them confirm this at my last appointment when we did an ultrasound.

What is going on with the Baby: Baby is now considered full term. There is not a lot going on. His lungs should be developed enough to not have any problems once he arrives on Tuesday.


Whats Going on with Mother: contractions! Bed rest and thats about it. I am a bit swollen/puffy and probably will be even more so after the induction. I am still having issues with my blood pressure which is why we will be inducing almost 3 weeks early.

Baby is size of:swiss chard. Approximately 6 1/3 lbs. (I am pretty sure our little one is smaller than that because of the ultrasound we had)

Movement : still moving around a bit. He didn't want to have the monitors on him and kept kicking them at the doctors office.

Cravings: I really wanted a mango peach smoothie yesterday and would really like another today. I also have wanted a funnel cake and even dreamed about it last night.

What I miss: I miss being able to just get up and do what I need or want to do. Now I get up and move from the bed to the couch.

What I am looking forward to:Meeting my sweet boy in 4 days!!! I am so excited to just hold him!

Symptoms: Blood pressure issues, daily headaches and swelling.

Well this is my last weekly post for this pregnancy. I will have a 3 day old this time next week!
