Week 37

 (PS thats not my belly button popping out. Thats a dot from the white board. Trust me, if that was my belly button, I would have complained about it by now.) This week at work, I started training my fill in while Im on maternity leave. Makes things a little crazy but I think they got her in at a good time so she is prepared for when I leave. 

How far along: 37 WEEKS! Baby is technically considered full term, which means, his all his organs are developed including his lungs. So if he was born tonight, he should be able to breath on his own.

How big is the baby: The app says that a normal baby at 37 weeks is 20 inches long and right around 7lbs. My child on the other hand, I have a feeling may be exceeding those numbers. 

Total weight gain: I think last week I was at 12.5lbs gained. My appt is tomorrow so I don't have an update for this week, but if I had to assume, maybe another pound or so.  

Stretch Marks:  Nope and this weeks picture proves it! hopefully now I'm in the clear. The other night I got all tucked in bed, which is no easy task mind you and then I realized... I forgot cocoa butter and I KNOW the one night that I dont do it, I will wake up with one, so I got out of bed to put it on 

Best moment of the week: JJ and I had a very successful weekend. Nesting phase was in HIGH gear, for both of us. We put the carseat in my car, gardened, cut down a tree, cleaned out all the boxes and crap, went for a walk on Saturday (the weather was beautiful), gave the dog a bath, vacuumed, etc. All this makes my OCD happy.

Worst moment of the week: This little man has the strongest legs ever. He kicks the crap out of me and it hurts. I can see his footy sticking out like 2-3inches by my ribs when he is stretching. I usually just push it back in. HA

Sleep/Dreams: It usually takes me a few minutes to find the perfect position. But when I do... DONE, out like a light. There might be some tossing and turning and the random potty trip, but ok for the most part. 

Have you started to show?: My belly is so big, it looks fake. Like hollywood could mold it and make a legit costume!  

Gender: Team Mustache Labor Signs: I keep having random tightening in my stomach, I dont think they are contractions. Mommy said "If they are contractions, YOU WILL KNOW," so I think Im good. Im just really hoping that my water doesn't break at work, that would suck!

Belly Button In or Out: Flat. 

Wedding Rings On or Off: On. (Funny story, one of my coworkers didnt realize that this section was asking about swelling. She thought it meant, "throughout your pregnancy have you driven your husband to divorce with your crazy hormones." HAHA I love her)

What I’m looking forward to: Im anxious about my Drs appt tomorrow. She is going to let us know how the ultrasound looked and I always love hearing his little heartbeat.
