Week 37

Weeks Along: 37
Weight Gain: +12 lb
Sleep: This past week has been rough, not a lot of sleep. Going to the bathroom a lot, Braxton Hicks contractions, mind constantly running, only a few of the things keeping me up.
Movement: Still moving well frequently, but have been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions, not fun.
Belly Button: Completely flattened out.
Rings: Still on.
Gender: Girl
Looking Forward To: Meeting this little girl already!
Appointments: Last Thursday I had a sonogram to check the size of baby girl per request of Dr. Martin. Ironically, after all this time thinking she was huge, she has actually leveled off and is right on target for how many weeks along I am. The doctor said that sometimes they have growth spurts and then level off, which is why we were getting bigger numbers for a while. Doctor estimated her to be high 5s, maybe 6lbs, making her 7ish at the time of delivery depending on when she decides to come. That news made me very happy as you can imagine. Much rather deliver 7lb baby than 9.5lb one. Doctor checked my progress and I was 1cm dialated but no efacement.
I had another appointment today for just a check-up. Doctor checked me again and this time I was 1 cm dialated still but 50% efaced. Making progress! Next appointment is Monday 23rd.
