37w0d

How far along? 37w0d or 92.5% or 9.4 months pregnant. I'm also considered FULL TERM now.
Total weight gain/loss: +31 pounds
Size: Watermelon or Stalk of Swiss Chard. He's over 19 inches long and weighs about 6.33 pounds now.
Baby Development: He's gaining about an ounce a day and is practicing his outside world skills like sucking, blinking, inhaling, exhaling and gripping!
Movement: YES! Both movements and kicks happen regularly throughout the day and night. I also think he may have dropped...looking at pictures from previous weeks, he looks lower than before.
Food cravings: Nothing new lately.
Food aversions: None.
What I miss: Jimmy John's, alcohol, my jeans.
How I'm feeling: For the most part I'm feeling good, I have the normal pregnancy aches and pains...but I manage to waddle myself around :) 
Milestones/Best moment this week: I'm full term today, yay!! I had my weekly appointment today, I'm measuring right at 37 weeks and heartbeat is good at 140. I'm about 25% effaced and not much for dilation yet...so we still have a ways to go.




My blood pressure is still high, so my doctor has put me on some medication to help bring that down. I'm also doing another 24 hour collection tomorrow to make sure my protein levels haven't increased more. I go in for a BP measurement Monday morning and my test results should be in by Monday too...so stay tuned for updates then!
