37 Week Update

How many weeks?  I am 37 weeks pregnant!  That’s FULL TERM!  Taylor is approximately 7.5 pounds, according to my last ultrasound.  Her body is measuring 2 full weeks ahead!

37.2 This dress is so comfortable.  I got it at Forever 21 (it’s not maternity) for $15.  I love it when I find things that I can wear pregnant, that will also fit me after I have the baby.

How am I feeling?   I’m feeling very pregnant these days.  I’ve been feeling a lot of contractions lately and am exhausted.

Doctor’s Appointment? Last Friday, while out at the movies with Josh, I started having contractions consistently every 3-5 minutes.  I started logging them on my phone and after an hour I called my doctor.  They advised me to go to the hospital to get checked out.  The OB nurse confirmed that I was experiencing true contractions, but I was still not dilating more, so it wasn’t enough to admit me and to consider me in active labor.  After a few hours at the hospital, we returned home to get some rest.  The next day the consistent contractions subsided, but I am still having them randomly. 

Weight Gain? 21 pounds.  (lost a pound from last week somehow)peaches

My favorite snack these days is peaches and Greek Vanilla yogurt.  Mmmm… I could go for some right now just thinking about it!  My favorite snacks changes every couple of weeks because I eat it so often, I end up getting sick of it. This is a great one though; you should try it!

Baby Preparation? We are packed and ready!  Just waiting on Taylor!

Thank you for all your advice on my stroller issue.  After careful consideration, we decided to return the Graco Signature and get the Zooper Bolero.

    Love my Zooper. Got it 6 years ago for my first baby and am still using it for my 3rd (who is almost 2). You look great. I will never forget the anticipation of being 37 weeks pregnant! What an amazing time.

    Any day now! I was an OB nurse, and when mom's came in with "false" labor, they were always back with the real thing in a few days. Also losing weight is a sign it's very close:)
