We made it to 37 weeks and this baby is full-term! Baby boy is the size of a winter melon and I'm feeling it! I've never been THIS pregnant before. I'm so grateful to still have this little baby growing on the inside instead of the outside. Harvey was born at 34 weeks and considered late pre-term. He spent 9 days in the NICU. I know parents who spent much more time than that with their little ones who came much earlier than Harvey. Still, any length of stay in the NICU is trying; emotionally and physically. The nurses and doctors were excellent and took great care of Harvey, Brent and I but hopefully, our little guy will be healthy and ready to go home without a lengthy hospital stay.
I'm scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks if baby boy hasn't made his debut yet. Any guesses as to when he'll come?? While you're thinking it over, here's the weekly post...
Total weight gain: 35 lbs
Maternity clothes? Of course!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Is not the best... leg cramps, sore hips
Best moment this week: My weekly appt to hear the baby and getting all the little details taken care of.
Movement: lots!
Food cravings: chocolate, bread, fruit
Anything make you queasy or sick? No
Gender: BOY!
Symptoms: Feeling sore and tired
Belly button in or out? out
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy
Looking forward to: One last doctor's appointment, if we make it that far!
