37 WEEKS

Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 37 weeks and 3 days.  Posting late seems like it is becoming a habit.

Size of baby:  I'm thinking maybe around 9 1/2 pounds since she was 8lbs 11oz 2 weeks ago.

Gender/Name: It's a GIRL!!!! Annalise Claire Phillips :)

Maternity Clothes: I only have a select things that still fit and look halfway decent. Ugh. I feel like I wear the same clothes EVERY week and now that it's getting HOT AS THE DICKENS, I only have 3 short sleeve maternity shirts so they get worn A LOT. Oh well.

Belly Button:  Still the same.  Just flat.

Movement:  Slowing down drastically.  She will start moving around A LOT about 3 times a day but other than that, she's just chillaxin' ;o)

Sleep:  I've only been getting up about twice per night and it isn't that bad.

Symptoms:  Still having the same pains and hurts.

What I miss: I miss my pre-pregnancy self. Seriously. I'm SO ready to be able to start feeling normal again.

What I'm looking forward to:  Spending next week at home just me and Preslei! Although I must say, we've stayed home the majority of the weekend and I'm already bored.  She and I are headed to WalMart later today to buy all her little art and craft goodies for us to make next week.

Questions/Concerns:  This will probably be TMI for some but ever since last Thursday, I've had loose movements.  Whereas before, I struggled with constipation.  So, I googled.  It says that it could mean labor is on its way.  We'll see!

Cravings:  Water.  I feel like I can't drink enough water!

Best moment this week:  Leaving work on Thursday for the last time until June 4th!! Whoop whoop!  I know I'll be getting calls from time to time but I like knowing I won't HAVE to get up early and rush around getting ready the girls ready and myself ready every morning!
I also got some great news from Dr. Willis on Friday.  My amniotic fluid is back "within normal range"!  He said he didn't need to see any more but if I wanted to, I could come back for my last visit.  Since it's only a $25 copay and I have ONE more with him, I scheduled the appointment.  I just want to know I'm doing and have done everything in my power to make sure she is being monitored the way she should.
