37 Weeks - We're full term!

Full Term. We are full term. It seems like just yesterday we were TTC, I was waking up every single morning at 6 to temp, stressing over every little symptom in the 2 weeks leading up to AF. Now we could have our little miracle any day now. :) What an amazing feeling!


As you can see from my beautiful picture in the post below: I'm very swollen. It gets worse by the day, but the doctor still says everything is okay, so I'm trusting she's right. It is so ugly though! I can't fit in any of my shoes, and I sure don't want to expose the world to my grossness by wearing flip flops. I think it's come to that though. I'm wearing a Walmart faux diamond band in lieu of my beautiful wedding ring. :( I couldn't just not wear a ring, so we spend a whopping $8 on an extra large band for the time being.


Good news! (A little TMI so if you don't want to know, don't read any further.)

I lost my MP Sunday!! I woke up, went to the bathroom, and noticed it was coming out in chunks! Yeeaaah!! Yes - I am ->that<- excited about my grossness. I know it could still mean weeks, but progress is progress, right?!


**How far along? 37 Weeks - Full term!


**Total weight gain/loss: I'm attributing my gain to swelling...hehe...40 total.


**How big is baby?: Around 6-6 1/2 lbs. now.


**Maternity clothes? Blah - It's slim pickings now.


**Stretch marks? They're like kudzu. I hate them.


**Sleep: Like a baby... I get up 2-3 times to pee but that's it!


**Best moment this week: Losing my MP. :)


**Movement: She's still rocking-n-rolling.


**Food cravings: Actually, nothing this week.


**Gender: Sweet baby girl!


**Labor Signs: More and more contractions. Lost MP, lots of cramping.


**Belly Button in or out? It's stuck. I'm wondering if it will ever go back in.


**What I am looking forward to: We have our growth U/S this morning!


**Weekly Wisdom: I'm trying all the old wives tales for inducing labor, so I'll let you know next week if they're all BS or not. :)


**Milestones: We're full term!
