Full Term!

How far along? 37 weeks

Weight Gain/Loss: Still not quite sure, I stopped looking at the scale, I'm guessing it's around 35 lbs right now.

Maternity Clothes? Yes and getting down to only a few outfits I actually feel comfortable in.

Symptoms: Most of the time I still feel like I'm in the 2nd trimester and sometimes forget there is even a baby in my tummy! I'm sure this will change in the next week or two, it can't stay this easy!

Best moment this week: Finding out I am 1 cm dilated. I know that it isn't much and it would remain that way for a VERY long time but I went from completely closed to 1 cm in 5 days so I am excited for the progress...we are moving in the right direction!
Food Cravings? I don't really have any cravings this week. 

Gender? Girl!

Belly button in or out? Sometimes it's in, sometimes it's out enough to see it through my shirt, it all depends on how baby is positioned in there.

Stretch Marks? Not yet.

Movement? She moves a lot if I am eating or drinking. She also gets the hiccups 3-4 times a day. They are so cute!

What Im looking forward to: I'm looking forward to my Dr. appointment on Monday to see if I've progressed and also really looking forward to finding out when I'll go into labor. 

Milestones: She is full term now, meaning if she was born today she would likely not need any help breathing on her own because she lungs should be fully developed. She will continue to practice breathing amniotic fluid for preparation for the outside world.

Baby Size: She is the size of a watermelon now. She is 6 1/2 lbs and 18-20 inches long.
