update: baby W

how far along? 37 weeks

baby's size? baby boy is the size of swiss chard (yeah, i had to look this one up too!). between 19 and 22 inches and around 6.5 pounds!

weight gain/loss? let's just say i'm going to stop counting! it's not that i've gained a ton but i've been putting on some water weight from swelling over the last week, another not so fun thing about being a woman or pregnant and should totally not count against your weight gain. in my opinion!

maternity clothes? oh yes, and since it's only my belly that's really any bigger, everything is still fitting as long as we have a tank on under all shirts!

starting to show? yes. although not as much as some women. at the doc yesterday a couple of women way behind me had huge bellies. weird how different we all carry our babes!

belly button in or out? still in, thank goodness!

stretch marks? tiny ones still.

wedding rings on or off? on for now!

sleep? i got a bit more sleep this week than before but it's still a rough process. i toss and turn all night but my afternoon naps are a delight!

movement? moving a ton this week...does that mean labor's coming?

labor signs? well we thought he was low but he's not. doctor said yesterday we still have a ways to go. no dilation but having lots of contractions so it could really start to happen anytime.

best moment this week? had our 37 week check up and everyone is healthy. also, T got a better job offer today working day hours!!!! so proud of that hard working husband of mine. he's so good.

food cravings? just food...and water. i'm so thirsty lately.

what i miss: my non-maternity clothes, diet soda (no aspartame for this momma) and sleeping more than 5 to 6 hours at a time (but i don't think this one's coming back anytime soon!)

anything making you queasy or sick? nothing really. 

what i'm looking forward to: a little trip to dripping springs to see my cousin dance this weekend and some extra time with hubby since he won't be working weekends any more!

how are you feeling? feeling good. anxious to get this delivery out of the way so we can meet our sweet boy!
