baby #2: 37 weeks

(written June 14th)_MG_2848

Baby’s size: Almost 6.5 lbs and about 21 inches according to the book, but we had an impromptu ultrasound on Friday to check amniotic fluid levels (which turned out to be just fine), and she is supposedly 6 pounds 6 ounces.
Maternity clothes?: Yep, and I’m generally wearing the biggest and loosest-fitting tops I can find.
Gender: Girl!
Symptoms: Random nerve pain down my legs, but not as bad as last week. I can feel my pelvis loosening up a whole lot too!
Labor signs: I didn’t get checked this week, so I don’t know about any of that… but I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions every night and sometimes when I run. They’re not painful… just kind of a pain!
Sleep: Once I’m out, I sleep like a rock. Suddenly I’m also having lots of baby dreams!
Movement: She’s still my little hiccup-making machine! Other than that, her movement seems to have slowed down a bit… there’s not a lot of room in there!
Cravings: Ice cream, Twizzlers, and chocolate chip cookies.
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Feeling great for the most part, just not having too much of an appetite.
Belly Button in or out?: It’s pretty much out.
Exercising?: 10 miles run, 10 miles walked.
Mood: Excited to meet her so soon!
Best moment this week: Let’s see… getting a lot of work done on her quilt, taking some family/maternity pictures, and just hearing that everything was fine at our ultrasound were all great highlights.
Comparison: 37 weeks with Kaya!37weekcomparison18 days until our due date! I can’t wait to meet you, Peanut!
