37 Weeks! Full Term! : )

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

WEEKS: 37 weeks!

BABY'S SIZE: 19 inches, 6.5 lbs, the baby is the size of a stalk of swiss chard!? Seriously where do they come up with this crap!?

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN: 33 lbs now which I wholeheartedly blame on the Holiday season ; )

SLEEP: Hips are pretty sore/loose now so sleep is only happening when I am laying on my left side.  MOVEMENT: She is exploiting my herniated belly button and kicking the crap out of it...OUCH!
SYMPTOMS: Herniated belly button and the waddling has started! 

WHAT I MISS: A steady gait with hips that don't feel like they could crumble : )

CRAVINGS: Being skinny again! : )

MATERNITY CLOTHES: Here and there but mostly just wearing comfy shorts/sweats after work.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO: Our ultrasound this afternoon and then girls night on Saturday with an ice cream buffet, munchies and Eclipse!  I haven't seen these girls for awhile and can't wait!  Plus the boys are going up for a quick (and probably the last until D-day) fishing trip to meet G'ma T's new dog, Huntley!

PROGRESS: Today's appt I am sitting at 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced and she is still at -1 station. 

We stayed pretty active this weekend with a fun family night out at Pizza Flame (where Riley danced happily as he devoured his pizza and cheesy bread), a DQ visit and then back home to watch Despicable Me.  Cute movie and fun family of 3 memories.  We also headed down to the Sportsmens Show at the Excel on Saturday and Riley got more 'owies' (lures) that he was so happy about!  Seriously all that boy needed for Christmas was a few lures and some fishing line because that is all he does all night long.  We watercolor paint alot and when I fill up his little cup with water for the paints he without a doubt has to pretend to ice fish from the Dixie for a couple of minutes.  He is so creative in his play and after making him a fort on Friday I had to sit and 'deer hunt' with him for over 35 minutes.  Let me tell you that a small fort + hard flooring + nearly 37 weeks pregnant left this Momma feeling very sore so we had to move onto flashlight hide and seek which is another one of his faves.  What the heck did we do/talk about before our little squirrel came along?  Only 14 days left of work and I will not miss driving in the nuisance snows every other day!
