How Far Along: 37 weeks!!! So happy to be full term!
Been starting to feel contractions! Some are getting nicely uncomfortable and are accompanied by cramps. Starting to time. They can be constant for an hour or so then trail off. I am also getting them (or noticing them) when I get up in the middle of the night. Lots of fun! Hope this means something is going to be soon. Really don't want to go late.
Also getting really uncomfortable to walk. Pelvis moving apart just makes everything uncomfortable. But yeah, starting to waddle.
Also think the baby is dropping! So happy about that. I started my weekly dr appointments this week. Told the doctor about the crotch pain and the cramping and she says it is all good signs!
Been having daily talks with the baby saying anytime is good now. Just so ready for him or her to come! Bassinet set up in our room, the babys room is almost ready (minus decorations). Everything is set up downstairs! Just want to meet this little guy or gal!
And this week, I have realized why people start maternity leave early. The massive uncomfortableness has begun!
How Big is Baby: Around 6.5 lbs and 20.75 - 21 inches long
What is Baby up to: Your full-term (yay!) baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).
Best Moment this Week: Hitting full term!
Total Weight Gain: +17 lbs.
Movement: Slowing down, but those that I do get are good ones. Also I think the baby is moving lower so they are a lot lower than they used to be
Belly Button:Almost flat. Starting to almost poke out.
What I Miss: Being comfortable. Walking comfortably. Moving comfortably.
What I am Looking Forward To: Outside Baby!
Gender: No idea...
