37 weeks

Not the best picture, but I was too impatient to wait for Matthew to get home to take it!  Mason is a pretty good photographer too!
How Far Along: 37 weeks
Size of baby: around 6 pounds and 19 inches  (according to baby center)

Total Weight Gain: 26 pounds
Maternity Clothes: All maternity.  Getting really sick of the five-six outfits I have!
Gender: ??? Matthew and I both think boy.  Mason says brother and Evie says sister.
Movement: This baby is constantly moving.  I feel him/her the most early in the morning or late at night before I go to sleep.
Sleep: I'm falling asleep really early and sleep good until around 3am then I'm usually tossing and turning the rest of the night.
What I miss: Just feeling good and not aching at the end of the day
Cravings: sweets, mexican food, smoothies, pb on graham crackers, cold fruit
Symptoms: Heartburn has been really bad.  Still having back pain and some cramping
Best Moments this week: Went to doctor last week and found out I was one cm dilated, but the head was up.  (that is what I was feeling in my rib cage!)  Went back today and found out that I am still just one cm, but the baby is head down.  I'm pretty sure I felt him/her move last night.  I was having some bad cramping/pain and the baby was moving so much.  My stomach looked like it had an alien in it!  The doctor said to go to hospital when my water breaks or if contractions get to be five-ten minutes apart.  I go every week until baby is here.  Getting nervous about the risks of a VBAC, but trust my doctor knows what she is doing.  I am excited about going into labor since I have never experienced that before.  Still hoping it is not anytime before March 8th though, so we will have a grandma here from that point on!
I loved doing Build-a-Bear with the kids.  I love that they are so excited about baby!
