The End is Near!

Just a weekly statics update today:

Mommy at 37 Weeks:


Baby at 37 Weeks:
Size: 19 inches and 7 pounds. Okay baby – we’ve got three weeks (maybe) … let’s not put on another 3 pounds! Mommy can’t handle it!  
Development: Perfecting his breathing, thumb sucking, blinking and turning from side to side.

Fun Fact: Baby’s head at birth will be the same size circumference as his hips, abdomen and shoulders!  

Symptoms at 37 Weeks:

How’s the Belly Looking: Larger and rounder by the day!  
Swelling: I have still been able to avoid what Sarah called her “tempurpedic” feet – meaning I have some swelling but they still look like feet! J  
Pelvic Pressure / Discomfort: Yup. Just the little guy settling into his new position for the next couple weeks (hopefully he stays head down!)

Sleep: Doing alright in this department, although bedtime comes earlier and earlier every day it seems.  
Stretch Marks: The ones on my legs haven’t gotten any worse (thankfully) and still none on the belly. We’ll see what happens!
Baby-Related Purposes: A pair of shoes for our maternity photo shoot.
Days Left:

  21 – at the most! My doctor promised me at my appointment that she will not let me go past 40 weeks! Phew!
