37 week update! --FULL TERM!--

It's true! I'm full term. This baby could come anyday! haHAha! Well, thats what people tell me when I tell them how far along I am. My answer to that is, "she can stay in as long as she needs to because i'm pretty much terrified of labor." And thats true. I always think I'm ready to have the baby (when I'm in pain especially..) but when she's being good, I just want her to stay in a little longer. haha. I'm sure within the next three weeks, I will be thinking differently. AND we are ready to meet her! Hospital bags are packed, room is clean (actually the whole house..I went into some craze this week on my days off...), clothes are washed....we're ready. :) 

                         Total weight gain so far: 24 lbs! dang!
How far along are you: 37 weeks!
Maternity clothes: Ummm ya.
Sleep: Sleeping is okay. For some reason, it's comfy to sleep on my back! I know I'm not supposed to though, so I only do it for a couple minutes, but it lets off the pressure on my hips when I sleep on my sides! I toss and turn a lot, but I don't lose much sleep! Another thing....I've developed a SNORING habit! What the heck! I will wake up and catch myself snoring! So embarrassing, that needs to stop!
Best moment this week: Aside from the doctors appointment, which was just a check up with the nurse since mine is out of town..probably just feeling her move more! Like I have a fun little video of her rolling and rolling and it looks like she is trying to punch her way through my stomach. It's so cute! Oh and I got a haircut and highlight this week, and I really just needed that. haha.
Miss anything: Not really? I'm not missing much??! I guess I miss my old pants. (I finally am wearing maternity pants/shorts as of 35 weeks!) And of course, missing my kangoo class. ;) (google it)
Movement: Everyday! ::)
Food cravings: Nope...never really had any. But I could always go for a wendy's frosty these days. ;) Or a drink from sonic. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. 
Have you started to show yet: ha! Thats a funny one! 
Gender: Girl
Belly button in or out: Ha, my belly button is like so far in, that the outside of it it kinda poking out? I think it's confused and doesn't know what to do! But it's not poking out far enough to see, so thats fine. hahah.
Labor signs: Not really?  my stomach will tighten and get really hard for about 2 minutes, but it doesn't really bring on pain....more just uncomfortableness. Had cramps last night, but nothing that hurt too bad!
Wedding rings on or off: On.  Except at night. My hands get itchy and hot at night, so I just take it off! .
Looking forward to: Baby being here and seeing what she looks like!!

(not so much the delivery!)

You look awesome!! I'm excited for baby to be here, too, but terrified of giving birth! I'm with you on that one!

Nicole said...

You are so beautiful! I'm so excited! That is all!

So excited for you! And 24 lbs is awesome (and nothing!) I had myself so scared about labor that it ended up being so much better than I thought. I think you will be surprised at how it is so much different (better) than you imagined.

So exciting!! You look amazing!

So I have never had a baby but from what I have heard/seen 24lbs is amazing. and you look amazing too so nothing to worry about! and I totally googled the Kangoo class. and labor totally freaks me out and I am not even prego.. thats not good.

Girlie, how many times do I need to tell you to stop stressing about labor! Seriously! You will do awesome. Just stay positive and hopefully you have a good dr you can trust and you can just chill and enjoy it. It's not that bad. For me the worst was IVs because I pass out and puke EVERY SINGLE TIME! WITH BOTH KIDS! Yeah... sorry nurses... But every delivery is different. If you just relax and trust the nurses who go through the process all the time you'll do fine. You totally got this!
