37 Weeks!

Zeke was almost in this picture. He is off to the side and would not pose for the camera:( This week I found out I had low amniotic fluid and I have to be monitored for the remainder of my pregnancy which is only a few more weeks left. Praise God at my first monitor appointment the baby is doing fine and my fluid levels are back up to a better level. Staying hydrated has helped I think.




Pregnancy Highlights

Due Date:   July 19th 2014

How far along:   37 weeks

Total weight gain:   ~ 41 pounds

Size of the baby:   Swiss Chard

Maternity or regular clothes:    So I thought I was done buying maternity clothes, but no! You can't tell too much in this photo but my shirts were showing my skin on the bottom of my belly and my pants were too tight. And it's the 4th of July so I wanted to have something to wear in public that was comfortable!

Gender:    BOY! Boy! BOY!

Movement:    Still moving and more so when I am hydrated!

Sleep:   It has been rough sleeping. I wake up all the time and am thirsty quite often. I also am feeling uncomfortable. I usually get up every few hours and eat or drink and stretch.

Cravings:    Nothing really specific, just thirsty all the time. I just want things that are cold.

Symptoms:  Numerous bathroom trips, some leg cramping, no longer nesting as much, just dreaming about baby and trying to relax.

What I miss:   Being able to run around! And bend over to tie my shoes!

What I am looking forward to:  Putting the final touches on the baby's name! And meeting the baby!

Best moment of the weeks:    Learning that my baby is doing perfectly fine after being monitored for an hour. Also, Zeke is learning to ride a bike! And having nice evenings discussing names with Robert!
