37 Weeks= Full Term Baby!

So Wednesday marked our 37th week and put us at full term. Meaning he could come any second.... That's crazy to think about!

This week also marked the first of my weekly exams at the doctor. I had my appointment on Friday and I was a little nervous about it. Kevin came along too because he could tell I was feeling weary and I love that I didn't even have to ask him, he just decided to come to be with me. Of course he loves coming and hearing the heartbeat etc. but he's been very busy at work lately. So for him to come with me and leave work an hour and a half early on Fri meant going to the office both Saturday and Sunday for a little bit to make up for it. He's truly the best husband ever.

Anyways, the appointment went OK I suppose. I am a fingertip dilated and she could feel his head was there ready to go. She mentioned possibly stripping my membranes/inducing me next weekend because he's a big boy. This completely freaked me out. I guess I'm not as ready for him as I thought. I have everything ready but the thought of him coming 2 weeks early was quite shocking.
I'm going to see how the appointment on Thursday goes and if I've made any progress. If not, I'm opting to not be induced and letting nature take its course. Whatever happens happens right??

Your Pregnancy: Week 37

Today brings two beautiful words: full-term. Now, whenever baby's born, he's likely to thrive. Also thriving? Your nesting instincts, which are behind those sudden urges to bake, clean, or embroider a onesie. (Feminists, take your issue up with nature, not with us.)

Baby's now the size of a watermelon!

Your full-term (yay!) baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!).


Our checklist is done minus the few last minute things that need to be packed in the hospital bag. I'm hoping for Spring to show up soon. It teases us here and it's making me crazy. Kev and I just can't wait to take Nate for walks with the dogs through our park.

Merry Christmas!!

We spent Christmas Eve with Kevin's family at his Mom and Dad's house. We had a great time, eating some great food. (Aka my sister in law's homemade egg rolls.... nom!)

Christmas Morning we went to Tim and Nok's house to open presents with Kaela and Steffen. It was fun to use our new video camera we got as a baby present.

My handsome hubby using our new camcorder!

I got these jammies to wear on Christmas day. We go over to their house so early, we all wear our pajamas. This year I thought I'd get some cute ones.

Now on to what I got for Christmas! I specifically said I didn't want baby related things. The only things I got that were baby related was the Vera Bradley Backpack I asked for because I'll use that as a diaper bag and some lotion. Hey, I don't have stretch marks yet, I fully think it's due to the wonderful lotions I'm using (shhh I know it's genetic!)


   
And I got 2 of each of these things so some will be returned lol.
 
Kevin got me this but it doesn't fit right. It's so short.

He also got me this:

This throw from Pottery Barn which I LOOOVVVEEEE from the family I nanny for

The droid incredible and some accessories for it.


It was a good year :) There are a couple other things but I can't find pictures for them. They're pj pants and a Maternity Sweater (that I LOVE) from Target. Kevin said I can't have enough PJ pants because he knows I'll pretty much live in them for a couple months. He knows me oh so well....

Since Kev got me some duplicates his mom did, he's getting me a car starter. But he said it's not really a Christmas gift but a baby gift. Whatever, I'll take it :)
