37 Weeks~FULL TERM!!!




How far along? 37 weeks
Total weight gain:
34 pounds
Maternity clothes? 
Yes.
Stretch marks? 
Nope! 
Sleep: 
I sleep really great for the first 2-3 hours and then I’m up every two hours (preparing for those late night feedings blah blah blah I hate that because once he is here I can have coffee so it’s completely different). Also having bad dream mostly not about the baby but I did have one- they wouldn't let me hold him after he was born so I was furious and demanding it. Then Jamie and I got stuck on an elevator and couldn't get to Jackson.. it was terrible. 
Best moment this week: 
Getting closer to the due date! Date night at the movies!
Miss Anything? 
Moving around easily.
Movement: 
Woah he is stretching in there! My belly has been in a lot of weird shapes lately. He is really running out of room. I have felt him in my ribs for the first time- I think he's really long but who knows.
Food cravings: 
Nothing really but I have been staring at the Kerig for a lot this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick: 
Apparently everything my stomach has been upset this week. Nausea and reflux are back.
Gender: 
BOY!
Labor Signs:
Holy moly warm up contractions! They were so bad during the movies that I thought we were going to have to leave. But once we left they stopped. It’s been a lot of that lately- contractions for a couple hours then nothing.. which gets frustrating because I get all excited and then nothing. ugh! And this could go on for WEEKS. 
Symptoms: 
Swelling, less sleep, getting uncomfortable, contractions, not as much back pain, upset stomach, reflux
Belly Button in or out? 
Yes
Wedding rings on or off? 
Off 
Happy or Moody most of the time: 
Getting antsy!! I’m trying to keep myself busy but I am so impatient. I even finally finished our unofficial wedding album (our official one has been made since last October). But I wanted one with ALL the pictures we liked which was an insane amount.   I still have a box of wedding stuff I need to do stuff with so maybe that will be this weeks projects.
I'm also getting more irritated. I'm done being pregnant. Whoever decided 40 weeks was a good idea well it's not! And yes I know that most first time moms go past 40 weeks thanks for reminding me. ~Irritation at it's finest :)
Looking forward to: 
Meeting Jackson!!!  
Workout:
Oh I am walking! We walked everyday this weekend and I walked during the week. At this point I’m going to try to walk everyday. I got some weird looks at the gym walking but I wanted to say Hey I am 9 months pregnant let me waddle away! It would be bad if my water broke on the treadmill...
Furry Babies:
Sweet fur babies are in for a rude awakening. We did start them on a new diet this week (for Oscar's sake) all the food is put up a night... he does not like that! He cries and cries especially if you get up in the middle of the night. And now he has to sleep in between us in the bed with his head on my pillow. If I quit petting him he gives me a big paw to the face or a big wet kiss. This hope this helps him lose the LBS.
To dos:
  • Done: Car seat inspected, made another freezer meal, figured out how to check library books out on my kindle, made wedding album...
  • Left: HAVE A BABY!

Dr Appointment:
So disappointing. I thought today they would check for progress... nope not until next week. GRR Jackson's heartbeat is great! I am measuring right on track. No other news. 

3 more weeks!!
Jackson is FULL TERM!!
