Week 37 = Full Term!!!



How your baby's growing:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

How far along? 37 weeks -- full term!!!
Maternity clothes? Of course, and they are starting to get a little snug :0)
Stretch marks? Nope, please stay this way!
Sleep: Actaully not so bad that past few days
Best moment this week: Receiving some pictures of Adam with his family and watching the expression on his face while looking at them. He already has some up on the fridge.
Movement: Lots of movements - I can feel an arm moving across my belly. I love it!
Food cravings: Nothing really this week. I am not as hungry as I have been in the past.
Gender: Not sure
Labor Signs: Nope, I want Baby Winter to cook as long as needed.
Belly Button in or out? It is still depending on where the baby is situated in my belly depends if my belly button is an innie or outie.
What I miss: Bending over....I have to have Adam help with everything.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting Baby Winter to find out if he/she is a boy or a girl.
Weekly Wisdom: Same as last week...Enjoy everyday...I am so excited to meet Baby Winter, but I think a part of me may be sad that I won't be pregnant anymore. I have loved each and every moment so far. I love having him/her all to myself.
