37 Weeks

How far along? 37 Weeks 1 Day

Size of baby? 7 lbs, 20 inches about

Total weight gain: 32 lbs before yesterday then I went down to 24 lbs :|

Stretch marks? I think I've got a few on my sides

Sleep: Good

Best moment this past week: Seeing how happy Riley was when she got home last night. And being able to hear baby girls heart beat and hear that I've progressed quite a bit. On Tuesday I was dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced

Miss Anything? Moving easily and not being in pain

Movement: Tons of movement

Food cravings: Fruit, especially watermelon 

Gender: Baby Girl

Labor Signs: Lots. I thought last night was going to be the night she came(or early this morning). I had contractions that lasted about a minute and a half every 3 1/2-4 minutes from about 8-11(when I decided to try and get some sleep). They weren't painful or uncomfortable so I wasn't thinking I was in active labor. I was just hoping to get some sleep incase things progressed throughout the night that I would wake up more in active labor. Things slowed down and I've only have a few contractions here and there today

Symptoms: From 6pm Tuesday night to 7 pm last night I was in the bathroom a LOT. My body decided it was gearing up for this baby and wanted to clear everything out. I didn't end up going to work because I was so miserable and I really couldn't sit on my butt yesterday(today is not ideal either but at least I'm not in the bathroom!). TMI I know. I called the dr just to make sure what I needed to be watching for to go see them. They weren't too concerned, just told me a couple things to try and that it was a really good sign that my body is getting closer. With Riley this happened 6 days before she came but the nurse said they typically see this happen 1-3 days before delivery so we'll see!

Belly Button in or out? In but it's tiny

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: Meeting this little girl-it's so soon!

NOT Looking forward to: dealing with recovering from yesterday and then from delivery on top of that if I'm not better before she comes

It's crazy to think that it's possible I get to meet this little girl really soon! Yesterday I was so miserable that I asked Tony for a priesthood blessing. It was such a sweet blessing and talked a lot about my delivery going smoothly. I am grateful that I have a worthy priesthood holder in our home and that he is willing to give me and Riley blessings when I ask for them. I am grateful for the gospel that has taught me the importance of the priesthood and how much of a blessing it is that we have it in our lives today. I hope Tony and I are able to teach our girls and any other children we have how blessed we are and that they are able to gain testimonies for themselves of the truthfulness of the gospel.
