Pregnancy- 37 Weeks

 I have substantially grown over the past month or so! I am hoping the baby is packing on some serious pounds and growing big and healthy and strong. I know that before I even know it, all of this is going to be over and we will be staring at this baby in our living room, so I'm just trying to enjoy these last weeks of pregnancy as much as I can. I'm not going to miss the heartburn, the sore ribs or tossing and turning at night, but I will definitely miss feeling him rumbling and tumbling around in my stomach, being able to take our little guy with me everywhere I go, and the exciting feelings of anticipation I am feeling right now.

I have been measuring at 39 weeks at my last two doctors appointments, but I am not dilated and the baby hasn't dropped yet so they are thinking that could be why I'm measuring a little big. It's fun going to the doctor every week and seeing whether things have changed or not. We have just about everything we need at this point and the hospital bags are packed and ready to go, so now it is just playing the waiting game! My last day of work is scheduled to be February 17th, so we will see if I make it that long. My doctor said he'd let me go up to a week over my due date before he'd induce me since this is my first baby, but hopefully my body kicks into gear and gets this little one here before that!

We just can't wait to meet our little guy!
