WEEK 34
WEEK 35
WEEK 36(these are not maternity clothes, this was taken quickly after a day of doing NOTHING)
The weeks are coming to an end. I hit the 37 week mark yesterday. I going to make this post brief....
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 37 weeks 1 day
Size of baby: HUGE!!!!! The books say he could weigh about 6 1/2 lbs now. I'm guessing he is right on track or a little bigger.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was up to 28 lbs weight gain. I had a dr's appointment on Monday and lost 3 lbs. Don't ask me how. It may have been because I shopped for 8 hours straight on Saturday or it may be because it's hard to eat a big meal. Everything seems to sit in my chest.

Maternity Clothes: Some of my maternity shirts are getting snug. I've borrowed some jeans and dress pants to get me through the cooler weather. I still have a few shirts that aren't maternity that I am still wearing (got to love the style these days). All of my dresses with the exception of two are not maternity.
Gender: BOY OH BOY!!! Everyone asks, "Are you having a BOY?" It must be obvious. He is right out in front for sure.
Movement: He moves from side to side a lot during the day. I can see my entire belly move. At times he gets a little high or a little low and it hurts when he moves.
Sleep: Once I get cool enough and comfortable enough I sleep until my bladder wakes me. I'm getting up about 3 times everynight to use the bathroom. I've had crazy dreams about delivery, hospital ride, water breaking, my job, etc.
What I miss: sleeping on my back, seeing my feet, being able to get up and down off the floor, breathing, shopping for stylish fall clothes.
Cravings: anything SWEET!!!
Symptons: Lack of energy, emotions (irritable at times, cry sometimes from frustration), shortness of breath, numbness in left leg, itching stomach (feels like bugs crawling on me), some heartburn, mild swelling in my feet and hands, and soreness in my feet.

Best Moment this week: I've been on fall break so I've gotten a lot done. My lesson plans from now until January are almost complete, thank you cards are mailed, house is becoming more organized and clean, lunch with dad, haircut with mom, dinner with Michael and his Grandmother, sleeping in, cooler weather, and knowing that baby Dylan is full term and ready!!!
1 Sweet Notes:
The symptoms you have right now are the worse! However, they are almost over and your sweet baby will be here!! I am glad you had a week to catch up!
