We're full-term, friends. This kiddo is fully cooked and just needs to work her way south when she wants to meet us :)
How far along?: 37 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: +1.5 this week, +21 overall.
How big is baby?: 6 1/3 lbs and over 19 inches long.
Maternity clothes?: It'll be weird to start shopping in the normal person section as opposed to the maternity section again. I can’t wait.
Sleep: Oddly enough, the bathroom breaks are down to only 1 a night. It's the aching back/belly/hips/etc. that wake me up every hour or so. I'm down to only being able to "comfortably" (I use this term loosely) sleep in one position....my poor left hip....
Movement: Party in my ribs, 24/7. The doctor goes "Oh yeah, that baby's right up in your rib cage, huh?" Um, duh.
Labor signs: Still not a thing, other than BH's. Absolutely no cervical progress at today’s OB appt, which is not at all surprising considering she's so darn high right now. I swear this kid is moving up rather than dropping. Typical.
Food Cravings: There's a piece of a Jersey Mikes club sub in my fridge that's calling my name.
Gender: C'mon, little one, let me give you a name already!
Belly button in or out?: Flat.
What I miss: Emotional stability.
What I am looking forward to: Christmas. Preferably with my baby in my arms and not in this big belly.
Best moment this week: Getting to spend some serious quality time with Baby Reeder’s daddy over the long Thanksgiving break.
Weekly Wisdom: There is definitely such a thing as “doing too much.” It often leads to pain, discomfort, occasional tears, and Tylenol PM.
Milestones: Full-term. Holy cow. It’s so surreal to make it to December. Any time now, baby, any time.
Any will be soon be tears of joy :) !! can't wait for your news!!
