36 and 37 week update

How far along? 37w

Weight gain/loss: I've slightly lost track over the past couple weeks, but according to my file at my OB's office, I'm up 36 lbs. I was up 38.5 at my appointment two weeks ago, so it must be a combination of this dang heatwave we're going through and the daily walks I've been going on in the mornings with Jordan and DooDoo. 

Maternity clothes? When I'm not too hot to be wearing clothes....I mean....yes, of course!

Stretch marks? Still haven't noticed any and as far as the linea negra, I think I see a very faint one below my belly button, but it's hard to really tell. 

Sleep? Compared to horror stories that I hear from other pregnant mamas, I have nothing to complain about. I have a rough night every now and then, but for the most part, I get a decent amount of rest. The worst part right now is that I have been sleeping in my favorite position, on either side this entire time and that's becoming not so comfortable because our little babe is taking up so much room. Flipping over is also quite the task. 

Best moment this week? Receiving my birth kit and getting quite a bit of my birth supplies together. My mom took Brynnlee's curtains home with her and is going to attach the blackout material for me and bring them back once the baby is here. I'm excited to get those hung. I also received the changing pad cover that I ordered from Etsy and I am completely pleased with it. The color is perfect. 

Food cravings? Anything that will cool me off!! 

Gender: Still a girl

Belly button in or out? Outie

Movement? Her movements have definitely slowed down. Still pretty constant, but more of slow rolling movements and stretches (gotta love that elbow or knee trying to bust through the right side of my belly!). 

What I'm looking forward to: Our home visit with the midwives on Saturday and getting the pack and play/bassinet set up in our bedroom. When I was pregnant with Jordan, the home visit marked the point in which I knew I was mentally ready to have the baby at any time. I hope to feel the same way after we meet this Saturday because I am SO so paranoid that this precious love is going to show up any day now! I keep telling myself not to think that way because I don't want to end up miserable and pissed off sitting on my couch at 41+ weeks pregnant, but I really feel like she is so incredibly low that she wont be able to stay in there much longer. 

Milestones: Full Term! We made it :) I'm not quite ready for her to make her appearance just yet, but it's reassuring to know that she is considered full term now if she were to come.
