Week 37 [ September 10, 2012 ]

How far along? 37 weeks 6 days 
Baby is the size of: a winter melon
Total weight gain:  {140.8 to 142.8} 2 lbs! 
Maternity clothes? still mixing both normal and maternity
Stretch marks? i think i found a couple around my hips...booo
Sleep: its been better! thank gosh
Best moment this week: i guess it was the scariest but also the best because were moving in the right direction... we met with the midwife and she told me that I'm effaced. She didn't really tell me how much but she said that im right on track and i should keep doing what im doing. she said im getting cramps and back pain because I'm effaced. baby is coming soooooooon!!!
Movement: theres still alot going on in there even though shes getting so big!
Food cravings: onion rings, root beer, sauerkraut, chocolate shake
Miss anything?  the simple life... even though its not gone yet, im just wondering how its going to be and missing life as it is even though im sure once she's here ill never look back
Anything making you queasy or sick: smoke
Gender: IT'S A GIRLIE!!!
Labor Signs: cramps, back pain and 4 hours of contractions on monday night! we really thought that was it... we got all the bags by the door and everything all ready. i called the doc after an hour and a half of contractions and she told me to stick it out another couple hours. they went from 10 mins apart, to 7, to 5 to 3 but then started spreading back out. thank gosh!
Symptoms: nerve pain in butt and legs, swollen feet at the end of the day
Belly Button in or out? pretty much flat
Wedding rings on or off? on!
Feelings: its feeling more real as the day nears
Looking forward to: seeing her precious little face
This weeks developments: practicing her skillz! she's blinking, gripping, inhaling, exhaling and sucking.


The midwife also told us Liv's head is really low and in the canal, she touched it when she checked my cervix. This is why im having such bad pelvic pain! Even though im effaced, my cervix is still closed.My strep b test came back negative - yay! Im still measuring small - 36 weeks and her HR is 140.


I was having contractions...owie!

me and livs chillin

we thought this was our last night as two
