37 Weeks!

37 Weeks! Officially full term!

Week: 37
Baby: Baby Pease is the size of a watermelon! At our last appointment, we had the ultrasound, and they told us she is around 6 lb. 5 oz. and should gain about a half an ounce a day or so. She is measuring at the 48% for weight and height- the Dr. said that is right where we want her to be! All good news! They also said she has hair and high cheek bones! So cute. Cannot wait to see her precious face!
Stretch Marks: Still none- and still applying lotion and oil daily. I have been blessed so far! 
Maternity Clothes: Thankful that I no longer have to go to work and wear decent clothes, because everything is looking silly- especially the options I have for this heat! I have been living in Justin's t-shirts and boxers, as well as a few maternity tank tops and capris! 

Movement: Still see her flop from side to side. Often times my belly is lopsided and I think it is her little butt sticking out. Too cute! 

Yummy: Lots of fruit, pancakes, tons of water and crystal light, cereal, ice cream, peanut butter toast.
Eww!: Fast food/fried food wasn't appealing this week. 
Symptoms: Uncomfortable! Heartburn, sore back, sleepless nights.....again....it will all be worth it. I have also had more pressure in my chest this week....hoping this is normal and will talk to to the doctor about it next week. 
Mood: Nervous for the delivery, anxious to see what she looks like, happy that she will be here so soon and Justin and I will officially have a family. It is pretty amazing! 
High of the week: The ultrasound- seeing her again and hearing that everything was healthy and measuring perfectly! Also, my parents came for the weekend. We went to dinner and they took Kennedy home with them until she arrives. We miss him, but it is nice to not have to worry about him and really prepare for her arrival. 
Low of the week: My wedding ring no longer fits :(   Given the heat and slight swelling, I can only comfortably wear my wedding band. I will still put it on if we are going out for the night or something, but during the day/heat- it is a no go! 
Most looking forward to: her arrival and the next doctors appointment to see if there is any progression! I honestly have never been more excited for anything. I cannot wait for Justin and I to meet this sweet little girl. I just pray for a healthy delivery and speedy recovery!
