37 Weeks


How far along? 37 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Ugh. Up a ridiculous amount according to the doctor today, though I'm not sure it's correct: 25 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yup.
Stretch marks? Indeed, but no additional ones in recent weeks, thankfully.
Sleep: I'm sleeping fairly well, but I'm absolutely exhausted today for some reason.
Best moment this week: Losing my mucus plug, even though it's much less exciting now that I've accepted that it truly means nothing.
Movement: After a few days of limited movement, he's been moving pretty well today. Still just squirms though; no more kicks.
Food cravings: I don't know. I am hungry, but nothing really seems appealing, and I don't have the energy to go to the store.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: My cervix has (disappointingly) remained stable from last Wednesday at 2 cm. dilated and 60% effaced. My mucus plug seems to be completely gone. Still having BH contractions, but no other signs other than soreness.
Belly Button in or out? In, but it's more like a slit than a hole at this point.
What I miss: Feeling like labor was so far away that it wasn't worth thinking about.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting this little guy! I'm not at the point that I'm so miserable I just want to be done with this pregnancy, and I don't think I'll ever get there, despite the pain and discomfort. However, I am anxious to have my baby in my arms and wouldn't be a bit upset if I went into labor this afternoon.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't read too much into labor signs, and don't let other people try to tell you differently.
Milestones: Full-term. Ho-ly crap!
