37 weeks and counting.

How far along?: 37 Weeks
How big is baby?: 19.25 Inches, 6.3 lbs
Food cravings?: cereal, dr pepper
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my little girl.
Milestone: We are officially full term right now. So we are good to go anytime she decides to make an appearance.
Sleep?: Not good. I didn't have trouble sleeping with Sam really, but I am having a really hard time sleeping right now. My pelvis aches and I have round ligament pain time every time I move, I have to pee all the time and my hips feel like they are coming apart!
Best moment this week?: Really not much happening this week. Sam is talking a lot more now and I love to try and have conversations with him. His vocabulary just amazes me sometimes. We have started a new game, whenever I pick him up for the day on the drive home we work on his words. I will say a word and have him repeat it. He does a pretty good job too!
Feelings this week?: Lately I have this fantasy that I will stand up and my water will break and it will be go time, pretty much every time I stand up this goes through my mind. As anyone who knows me knows, I am so done being pregnant... this is the worst part of pregnancy, these last few weeks... I'm ready to have my body back and feel like a normal human being again. I know having two babies isn't going to be a picnic, and it will be hard at first. But I'm ready to start on this new adventure... (And I'm also ready to get over being in so much pain all the time too.) We've started the whole braxton hicks contractions let me fool you into thinking we're going into labor then not be thing... but at least this time around I know better than to think I'm in labor... When they tell me to call if I've had more than 4 contractions in an hour, I just laugh. I typically have between 2 and 6 in a hour regularly. But they don't hurt and my water hasn't broken or anything so I know I'm not in labor yet... no need to get myself all hyped up for nothing. At least it will be easier this time around knowing what real labor feels like versus false labor.
