Baby Bump Update

How far along: 37 weeks...full term! What?! How did this happen?! 

It's almost 11 p.m. after a 12 hour work day...give me a break;)

Size of baby: This is exactly what my weekly update said: Your baby is the size of a winter melon! He likely measures around 18.9 to 20.9 inches and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds. He's gaining about 1/2 ounce each day.  What the heck is a winter melon and if my baby weighs 9 pounds right now I am freaking out!  My weekly phone app update says watermelon and about 6.5 pounds. Sounds a little better to me:)

My body: So it looks like just the top half of my belly button is going to stick out.  

Movement: I really need to figure out how to upload videos because I recorded Lucas moving and it is pretty funny...very alien;)  He had been only elbowing me on the left side but today the right elbow started going.  Kevin thinks he's trying to figure out how to get out...haha!

Sleep: I have almost given up.  The last two nights were a little better and I have a feeling it is because I am SO exhausted!

Symptoms: I'm pretty sure I felt two contractions on Saturday.  I think I'm getting a small rash on my stomach.  I have no idea if this is a symptom but I'm going with it. It doesn't itch or anything I can just see it.  My acne is back with a vengeance:( My hips really hurt sometimes and I happen to read that this happens when they are getting read for the labor.  So crazy what our body does!

Cravings: I am still LOVING my smoothies and pears!

Aversions: Anything that gives me acid reflux...now if I could only figure out everything that entails.

What I'm looking forward to: One more day of work! Oh thank goodness! I have been working 10-12 hour days to try and get everything done and transitioned.  The hubby and I are also going out in the city Friday night with friends.  I wanted Kevin to be able to have a "last hoorah" before the baby comes.

Baby Daddy: He's ready for me to be done working.  Really he's ready for Lucas to make his arrival but knows that I won't be ready until I'm done working and can complete everything I want to before baby's arrival.  I think he is also ready for me to have time to do laundry, put away dishes, make dinner;)

Thoughts: My mind has been consumed with work.  I have so much I want to blog about so be prepared for multiple posts over the next week:)
