Full Term!

Today, we hit 37 weeks and are officially full term!!  I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am to hit this mark.  Actually, every day we are still pregnant, I am super thankful, but to actually make it to the full term mark is huge for me!!  We are as ready as we can be for him to arrive (nursery done, hospital bag packed, clothes/laundry washed, car seat set up, diaper bag stocked, etc.) Please keep us in your prayers as Jack's due date is getting closer and closer.

How Far Along:  37 weeks

Total Weight Gain: I haven't tracked it at all because I could seriously care less about that, but I think I've gained 20-25 lbs at the most

Size of Baby:  According to my "What to Expect" app he is around 6.5 lbs and 19-22 inches (a watermelon)

Gender: Boy

Name:  Jack William

Movement:  He moves ALL the time. Lots of rolls and kicks.  He is most active around 9am, 1pm, 7pm, and 11pm.

Sleep:  I basically just take a lot of naps since I am up so often to adjust my aching body or hobble to the bathroom. Thankfully, I feel rather rested even with the lack of solid sleep.  

What I Miss:  Exercising!!  My doctor gave me a very strict "DO NOT WORK OUT" mandate to follow this pregnancy just to be safe after losing Aliyah in the 2nd trimester. Initially, I really didn't mind, but after 9 months of not working out I am really looking forward to when I can be active again... although seriously it is such a small, small price to pay.

Cravings:  Ummm... just food in general really - I feel like a teenage boy.  Lately, I've been loving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. :)

Other Crazy Symptoms:  Nothing too crazy...just the usual symptoms of sore lower back/hips, lack of sleep, lots of bathroom breaks...

Best Moment this Week:  Reaching 37 weeks!! PTL!
