37 Weeks and officially full term. What a wonderful milestone. If baby were born today, he would be able to breathe on this own and would have fully functioning organs. Every additional day that he spends inside is now added bonus; additional weight gain and more mature development. He's weighing in around 6.5 lbs and about 19 in. long, but from the size of my belly...I'm hoping he is about 8lbs and 21 inches long...or I'm not sure what else is in there!!!! Dr. Branning says that despite the baby's rapid weight gain these next few weeks, that mine should slow down...THANK GOD! I didn't think I could get much bigger after looking at my WK 31 pictures...but I guess you can ;) I'm still feeling pretty good despite the lack of sleep and frequent bathroom breaks. Getting around is definitely a challenge and tying shoes is now an impossible feat. I just continue to self-talk patience and remember that I only have a few days left to carry my first born inside me, feel him move, take him to work with me, know that he is safe, healthy and protected everyday. These things I will miss so much...
Things I can't wait for!!!!
- Snuggling my new baby and seeing him face to face
- Hugging my husband (w/out sticking out my butt)
- Seeing my feet
- Getting back into my skinny jeans
- High heels
- Wearing my wedding rings
- Post work, glass of wine ;)
-Being a MOM!
Just some additional pictures of cuteness...
