37 weeks



And Atticus is officially 'full term' :) Hoping he decides hes done cooking soon because uncomfortable isn't even beginning to cut it over here! Realistically hoping for a late April delivery, in reality anything before 41 weeks and I'll be thrilled! Here is a lovely cell phone picture, I will do nice pictures at the end of this week

And for good measure, the pregnant survey

How far along? 37 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Not entirely sure. 30/35lbs ish. Enough that I have an extra chin and can't wait to lose it.

Maternity clothes? You can call them that if you wish. Lots of dresses as pants to contain the belly since even maternity shirts just aren't cutting it!

Stretch marks? Of course. Atticus felt he should forage his own path and ensure I got lots of new stretch marks instead of reusing the existing ones.

Sleep: Disastrous. I'm up 2+ times a night to pee, and my night is rarely more than 6 or 7 hours long. I have hideous pelvic pain - pubic symphysis to be specific. If I roll over I literally feel like I am being torn apart from the inside out. Excruciating.

Best moment this week: Full term! We did it! He can GTFO now :)

Movement: Non stop. Day, night, doesn't matter. Big sweeping alien like movements all the way to head butts to the cervix.

Food cravings: occasionally. Nothing remarkable (although I did want some kids cereal yesterday - and I don't keep that shit in the house)

Gender: penis #2

Labor Signs: Well I had that false labor scare a week or so ago. Lots of random contractions since then. Braxton Hicks all the time. Not super used to this since I didn't really have much in the way of prelabor with Finn.

Belly Button in or out? still completely flat with a bit of an outie by the end of the day.

Wedding rings on or off? off. The real ones got just a hair too tight, enough that they were hard to take off. Rockin my temporary band from WalMart I got when preggo with Finn.

What I miss: sleep and beer. That is all.

What I am looking forward to: Baby boy :) Of course I could still do 800 things around my house, but the cosleeper is set up, diapers are ready, boobs are ready. He can show up now :)

Weekly Wisdom: relax. And enjoy Finns last few weeks as an only child!

Milestones: Full term!
