37 weeks

How far along: 37 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a winter melon (see photo to right) 

Total Weight Gain/Loss:
 up about 20 pounds from pre-pregnancy - I've been trying to continue making healthy choices but I'm finding it somewhat challenging at this point.  I just want to eat ice cream mostly.

How I'm Changing: The bump is out of control.  It is huge and heavy and basically always in the way.  I would be fine if I could just stay home and relax but working is a challenge.

Gender: baby boy 

Movements: Lots of stretching and some punches/kicks still - he's getting very strong now.

Sleep: Lots of interruptions... I wake up to go to the bathroom at least 3 times a night and usually a couple more just to change positions.

How I'm feelinglarge, tired, and very very hot most of the time

What I Miss: red wine, sushi, the ability to get up without the use of my arms, bending over, generally just being able to move in the ways that I want

Cravings: all the food.

Best Moment(s) of the Week: Had an ultrasound on Monday so we got to see our little guy again - he looks so sweet all squished in there :-)



What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On:  Just looking forward to meeting our little guy :-)
