37 Weeks

•How far along are you? 37 Weeks.  I am officially considered full-term now!

•How big is baby?: Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard).

•Maternity clothes: All maternity clothes.

•Gender: BOY!! Evan Michael Baxter.

•Sleep?: I've been sleeping pretty well this week.

•Best moment this week?: Being able to fully enjoy a relaxing Memorial Day Weekend.

•Movement?: It varies each day now.  Some days he still moves a ton and other days he's pretty quiet.

•Food cravings?: Fruit!

•Food aversions?: None really anymore.

•What I miss: Being comfortable, not feeling huge, being able to move around easily.

•Symptoms: Just being super uncomfortable, contractions, back pain, peeing constantly, heartburn, and in the last couple of days there have been a few times where I get a shooting pain down my legs.

•Milestone: Making it to full-term!  If you had asked me 12 weeks ago, if I thought I would make it to this week, I would have said no.  Evan is more than welcome to come at any time now!!!!!!!

I have a sono appt. tomorrow to check on the fluid level around Evan.  I'm hoping we'll get a good weight estimate too.  I'm sure he's still on track to be big.  My guess now is around 7.5 lbs.  We'll see how close I am.  I'm also hoping I'm making some progress and am dilated more.  I'll update after my appt. tomorrow.

Just for comparison, here I am with Em at 37 weeks.  It was 37 weeks exactly that my water broke with Em.  This was taken right before we headed out the door to the hospital.  Pretty sure I look terrified.

And here I am again with Evan.  Maybe I'll get lucky and this will be my last belly pic with Evan too.  I can hope anyways!

And of course, I can't go without showing Em's belly pics.  She was on the phone though and was getting upset with me that I was talking.  This is her telling me to be quiet because she was on the phone.
