37 weeks

How far along?: 37 weeks. Holy crap....just holy crap.
37w, 3d


How big is Holden?: According to my WTE app, he is STILL approximately 19-22 inches long, weighs about 6.5 pounds & is STILL the size of a watermelon. The Bump says that he is approximately 18.9-20.9 inches long, weighs 6.2-9.2 pounds & is the size of a winter melon. Yikes!! Getting big on all counts.

Total weight gain/loss: +40 pounds...sigh. 3 more weeks-ish until it stops...thankfully!

Maternity clothes?: Yessire bob. They are going to stick around for a while, but I sure won't miss them when they're gone.

Mirror is clean! lol
Symptoms: My feet are still swelling, but it hasn't been as bad as last week, thankfully. The end of the day on the hotter days is obviously still the worst, but we're dealing & I'm trying to make myself sit a bit more. Frequent urination is still happening & I'm still exhausted, but otherwise things are good. I've had a few bouts of nausea, but nothing too terrible. Also, still good with both the heartburn & back pain at this point. =) My belly is getting a tad bit unweildly & awkward at this point which makes having to bend over not so fun.

Stretch marks?: Oh yes! Thankfully they are not terrible, no good, very bad ones though!

Sleep: Still working on fitting that nap in. Also, have had a few random bouts of insomnia at random moments, usually I wake in the middle of the night for no reason & can't go back to sleep or it happens early in the AM. Yuck!

Movement: He likes to move-it, move-it! =) Seriously, I miss being able to sit down & up straight at the same time.

Food cravings: Nada, as usual.

Gender: Lil Fella

Names: Holden Thomas (Brother)

Labor Signs: Lots & lots & lots of Braxton Hicks & lots of cramping. Woo! For some reason it's been worse in the middle of the night...strange much?

Belly Button in or out?: Still an innie thus far.

What I miss: Being able to bend over comfortably & without fear of falling over. lol

What I am looking forward to: The JBF sale 1/2 price day on Sunday. I'm hoping to find a stroller or a glider, both would be amaze-balls!

Best Moment this Week: I finally got in a hair trim & color. I went with super low-maintenance on the color & got bayalage highlights. It looks super natural & should grow out without issues. Yay! My hair feels 1 million times healthier just from getting 1/2 an inch off. 

Milestones this week: OMG...I am actually considered full term. Wow...it's okay buddy, you can totally stay put for at least 3 more weeks. *wink*
