Full term update

 Today I am 37 weeks pregnant. That means she could come any time, and be perfectly fine (ideally). I still would like to make it to at least 38 weeks, but we'll see if she lets that happen. I think she will. My bet is the 28th, but there's really no reason for it, and I have no idea. Since I'm at the end, I figured I would do this questionnaire  one last time, and see what has changed.

I'm 37 weeks.
Maternity clothes: That's pretty much all I wear any more. A lot of my shirts can still fit around my tummy, but aren't long enough, and I'm more comfortable in looser clothing right now anyway. I have one pair of non maternity pants that still fit, but I've grown out of some of my maternity pants. Don't judge, she hangs out really low.

Sleep: Better than I expected, but defiantly not great.
Best moment this week: Knowing that we made it to full term! She gave us a scare, trying to come too early for a little bit there.

Miss anything: Obviously. It'll be worth it though, or so I'm told. ;)
Movement: Lots of it. I feel like she's going to bust out sometimes.
Food Cravings: Not really. I occasionally feel like eating fruity chewy candy, but other than that, no.
Symptoms: I have the symptoms of a pregnant lady.
Happy or Moody: I have felt like myself for the most part. I am a little more sensitive and irritable than usual (husband will attest to that), but mostly just me.
Wedding ring on or off: Been off for awhile. It was tight to begin with, so I took it off before it would get stuck.
Showing: Let's just say people have moved on from asking if I'm pregnant to just assuming. I like to make it awkward and say something like "What makes you think I'm pregnant?" Good times. 


I feel I have been very lucky and had a relatively easy pregnancy. Hopefully that doesn't mean a difficult labor, or difficult baby ;)   I don't feel like I'm one of those ladies just dying to get her out of me. She's safer in there, so what's the rush? I'll enjoy being able to take her places with out much planning while I can. However, I would love for her to be born in March, and not April. Please don't go past due, little girl!
