37 Weeks

I am 37 weeks today! Full term! I can't believe we are this far along.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday. I am 1 cm dilated, 50% effaced and at -2 station. She said this was good, escpecially since it is my first, but she doesn't think I am laboring and doesn't expect him to come this week.

Stephen was really hoping she would say he is coming today or in a few days. But there is really no way to tell. He will come when he is ready. We did go for a long walk last night. It was nice to get out and walk even if it didn't speed up labor! We are both just so ready for him to be here!

How Far Along: 37 weeks
Size of baby: As long as a stalk of swiss chard- )I would estimate more like a watermelon!)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 8 pounds
Maternity Clothes: I only wear maternity clothes now.
Gender: BOY!!! Stephen Earl Prather III
Movement: Yes, he moves a lot. It is a little different now though. It feels more like he is just rolling or stretching versus kicking, etc. I don't think there is much room in there for him to move much!
Sleep: Still not very good. I seem to have more insomnia now. I fall asleep fine, but seem to toss and turn all night.
What I miss: Not feeling huge! I am ready to be back to my normal self again!
