37 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 37 Weeks - we are officially full term!
Size of Baby: Winter Melon (20 inches long, over 6.5-7 pounds) 
Waist:  43 in.
Total weight gain: 31 pounds...I am really tired of gaining weight! I know its good for baby, but will it ever slow down?
Maternity clothes? Yes!
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: Ehh, nothing new. Still sucky. Because of all the pressure, it hurts to move positions and after I go to the bathroom once a night, I am just achy down there.
Best moment this week: Just getting the nursery more complete. Put up the ceiling fan (with a dimmer) and a few more things on the walls.
Miss anything? Not being sore and achy all of the time. Shopping really takes a lot out of me!
Movement: They do kind of seem to have lessened, but still going strong throughout the day.
Food cravings: None
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. But I am in a little faze where nothing sounds good to eat. Todd gives me the option to eat whatever I want for dinner, and for the life of me, I can't come up with anything.
Gender: Boy!
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks contractions and tons of pelvic pressure.
Symptoms: Besides the BH contractions and pelvic pressure, I did have my first episode of acid reflux. One night I woke up with it and then it stayed with me all the next day. It was horrible! Thankfully it was gone the next day. Makes me realize how lucky I have been throughout my entire pregnancy that that hasn't been one of my symptoms. I do get a little crampy as well, randomly through out the day.
Belly button in or out? Out. 
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Meeting our little guy!
Fact:  If born this week, all of your baby's internal organs would be developed enough to function outside of your body. Also, from week 37 on, your baby will only be adding a few ounces of fat to his frame each week. (-Everyday Family)
