37 weeks- we have progress!



Due Date: 
June 03, 2013

Gender: Sweet baby BOY

Movement: Lots of movement from the little guy. He's been kicking a ton on my right side under my ribs. 

Feeling: If I'm being honest, I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable. I'm SO crampy and having lots of mini contractions. The midwife says this is all normal and its all doing it's job because... we have progress! As of Friday's doctor appointment, we were 2 cm dilated and "very thin". :) I am hoping we will get to meet our little guy this week- fingers crossed!

Food Cravings: Not really hungry at all. My appetite is gone and eating is so uncomfortable with little room in the belly. I've been sticking to healthy foods as much as possible and ate a ton of greek yogurt with granola and berries this week. 

Food Aversions: Food in general?

Clothes: I'm all over the place with clothes- all maternity bottoms but this week I wore a ton of maxi dresses- all non maternity! 

Stretch Marks: ughhhh yes- well I think. I have bruise like red marks on my  hips but I'm confident they will fade. 

Sleep: Sleep has gotten better this week!  I wake up to use the bathroom two-three times throughout the night and I'm able to fall back asleep thanks to my mom's genius body pillow idea. :)

Symptoms: cramping, contractions, back aches, heartburn, swollen hands and feet and sappy-ness. I am crying at everything!

What I Miss: I miss being able to move around easily and snuggle with my husband without being uncomfortable. 

Best Moment: Hearing that we have made progress and our little guy is on his way here to meet us! I cried when the midwife told me the news. <3
