37 Weeks

I can’t believe it but we are officially FULL TERM and technically Scarlett could come at any time…However, based on our 37 week visit that won’t happen soon! I am only dilated one centimeter, but she is currently weighing in at 6 pounds 11 ounces while putting on a half-pound a week!  Additionally, I did finally finish packing my hospital bag…Sadie was getting a lot of use out of it though sleeping in it!

How Far Along: 37 Weeks on 9/5/12

Baby Updates:  She’s continuing to practice her breathing, blinking and sucking her thumb.

Size of Baby: Baby Scarlett should now about the size of a watermelon weighing approximately 6 and half pounds…we know she is a little bit larger though at 6 pounds 11 ounces!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Well….according to my doctor’s scale I am now up 28 pounds!

Maternity Clothes: Maternity all the way…

Gender: Miss Scarlett

Movement: Super active and she loves to stretch her little arms and legs out on my right side- Ouch!

Sleep: Okay…I wake up once or twice a night but otherwise no complaints.

What I miss: Being able to twist and turn and have overall better range of motion.

Cravings: Sweets and Pizza

Symptoms: Heartburn has really kicked in recently. I haven’t been able to survive without my tums lately

Best Moment this week: Getting to see our baby girl on camera for the final time before meeting her! My coworkers also threw us a wonderful baby shower! We got so many gifts and gift cards to where it feels like our registry/”must have for the immediate future” items have been purchase! I keep adding more things to the registry that we will need later because so many things have been purchased for us- We are so grateful!
