37 and half weeks

Due Date: Feb 25

Weight Gain:  way too much

Symptoms: still throw up most days but almost have become used to it and usually only for crappy for little bit before throw up and then feel fine, acid reflux seems to have got worse this month and sometimes results in throwing up, Braxton hicks all the time- mostly non-painful ones but after sex they hurt like period cramps, peeing ALL THE TIME, hip pain (tons this weekend, then went away mostly except for once in a while so not bad)

I'm thankful for: this time next month I should not be pregnant anymore!

 Cravings: soda (sprite mostly), grapefruit, moe's

Aversions

Sleep: pretty good although I am tired a lot

I miss my body, being able to run and feel good about my body, I feel pretty big at this point.

I am looking forward to: having labor and delivery over with!

Best moment this week: the midwives said they are confident the baby is head down- last week they scared me because they were questioning if it was breached.

I'm stressing about: taxes, getting a cold (been loading up on vitamins but feel a little off today)

Milestones: full term now

Movement: yes lots esp when lying down although it doesn't hurt.

It's a...: Surprise I go back and forth between boy (we must be having a boy because everyone else is having a girl) to girl ( I have been so sick it must be because it is a girl) The midwife says she has a strong intuition that it is a girl. We shall see! Now I am sorting of feeling like it is a boy for some reason but who knows.
 
Exercise: horrible very little- took one walk this week and did some snow work that gave me some exercise.

Diet:  so, so- eating lots of fruits and vegetables (we went through 7 containers of strawberries that were on sale in like a week and half!) but still eating a lot of crappy stuff too. The husband loves to eat out!

Weekly Goal: get the changing table and car seat together. As well as clean up the spare bedroom.

Baby Bargains: don't think I brought anything for the baby this week, haven't brought much in the past couple of weeks since garage sale season is long gone and we have soo much baby stuff.

Other: Over last weekend I had painful cramping, lower back cramping and Braxton hicks for almost a 24 hour period as well as bad hip pain. Tynol helped when I finally took it but would wear off after 4 hours and I didn't want to take too much. I can  now see how people thinking they are in labor when they are really not.
