Happy 37 Weeks!

BABY UPDATE!!


Well officially I'm 37 weeks today. I went to the doctor yesterday- he checked me and he could feel the head- he said I was remarkably low for being this early. Then he had to move the head to check my cervix- he said I was almost 2 cm dilated. Based on my history with Abby (born 37 w 2 d) and my progress thus far, he's predicting a baby within the next week.

Which seems to be good news. I've been having tons of contractions for months, the last few weeks some of them have been pretty strong. I never really had contractions with Abby, but they are sort of painful. Yesterday was a busy day, I had been having contractions on and off all day, when I finally laid down for the night (at 12:00am) I was having dull contractions with sharp pains every 4-6 minutes for just over 30 minutes, and then they stopped.

And today is probably one of my hardest days of being pregnant, I just don't feel well, I'm grumpy, and so not motivated to do a thing around the house. Being pregnant is hard, but I managed to keep a cheery disposition and not complain- well today I complained.

Anyway to make me feel better (or worse for spending so much) I bought a very soft and comfy bathrobe. I had to look everywhere to find one that goes below my knees, you'd think longer robes were still around- but they are not. But I look cute in it, okay, not really, but I feel cute.



and my 32 week for easy comparison- I'm a huge house!

Where did you get your bathrobe!? I asked for one for my birthday, and what I got was something that went barely below my elbow and just below my bum. It's not a bathrobe, it's just a purple shirt. Yours is just like what I'm looking for!!!

It is amazing what 5 weeks can do to a pregnant woman. You are still looking good. I can't believe her head is so far down. So it sounds like she will come soon. I am so excited for you. Hope everything goes "easily". Can't wait to hear the news!
