37 Weeks (a few days late)


Size of Baby: The size of a watermelon; about 19 inches long and over 6 pounds (that's average, but according to last week doctor's appointment we think Sidney is probably bigger)

Maternity Clothes: Mostly maternity clothes. Due to this lovely feet swelling, I will mostly be wearing flip flops from here on out.

Gender: It's a girl--Sidney Katherine (we're not real sure if we will just call her Sidney or Sidney Kate)

Belly Button In/Out: Pretty flat

Movement: She's slowed down a bit. She pretty much just pushes around trying to find some room to stretch out.

Sleep: Every night is different. Some nights it's easy to get to sleep, others not so much. I'm still getting some sleep though.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach; simple, mundane things such as bending over easily or putting my shoes on easily; not having to go to the bathroom constantly

Cravings/Aversions: No aversions. Anything has sounded good this last week.

Symptoms: Backaches and tired feet, all depending on what I've done that day and where/how I've been sitting. My left ankle is pretty much nonexistant for all but an hour or two in the morning.

Best Moment This Week: We pretty much have her room completed. I had a wonderful shower at school. The lady that cuts my hair made a cast of my belly--I can't wait to see the finished product in a few weeks.

What I am looking forward to: This sweet girl's arrival.

Update from Doctor's Appointment: We are slowly making progress. My doctor okayed me to walk a 5K this weekend so we'll see if that helps anything along.
