37 Week Update

How far along? 37 weeks!

Due Date: February 3, 2011

Total weight gain/loss: +23.. I think I've plateaued.

Maternity clothes? Even some of those don't fit anymore!

Sleep: Restless and uncomfortable.

Best moment this week: Getting the car seat installed

and the hospital bag packed. We're ready when you are, sweet Colin!

Movement: He likes to dance :)

Food cravings: Fruit sounds really good lately. I should buy some.

Food aversions: I've had some aversions to smells lately,

like an onion dip that I made. Tasted great, but it smelled awful (to me).

 
Gender: It's a boy!

Labor Signs: I'm still having contractions,

but they are few and far between right now.

At my last appointment I was 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced.

We'll see what tomorrow's appointment brings!

Belly Button in or out? It's an innie, but a shallow one.

What I miss: The use of my right hand. Seriously...

this carpal tunnel business has got to go.

What I am looking forward to: My weekly appointment,

which is tomorrow morning. It's funny...

I always thought I'd hate internal exams, but

I sort of look forward to them now.

It's nice to know what's going on in there!

  

Milestones: I am officially considered full term now.

Looking forward to meeting my little boy!

 

I got brave this week and decided to share a bare belly pic.

Proceed with caution! :)
