Mommy to be Quiz at 37 Weeks!

How far along? 37 Weeks!

• Total weight gain/loss: 28 lbs total gain so far...24 days left to gain some more...

• Maternity clothes: although nothing feels comfortable anymore those 2 pairs of maternity jeans have been a blessing...

Stretch marks: Nada!

Sleep: Uncomfortable!!

Best moment this week: finding out baby's weight! He's 7 pounds!!

Movement: Tons of stretching in mommy's belly, baby is kind of wondering why there isn't much room anymore to kick and do his somersaults...lol

Food cravings: Japanese

Gender: A little man!

Labor signs: Just the normal stuff... lots of pressure due to baby dropping, charlie horse, cramps etc...all prepping me for the real labor

• Belly button in or out? Outie!

• What I miss: sleep...

What I am looking forward to: The arrival of my little Prince

Weekly Wisdom: Not feeling too wise these days...even thinking makes me tired lol

Milestones: 37 Week Mark!! 3 weeks, 24 days, 576 hours until delivery!

What is the baby up to? It's week 37, my baby is considered fully cooked (full term), meaning baby is likely to thrive after birth. Baby will spend these last weeks in preparation for the outside world… meaning careful refinement of the blink, suck, inhale and exhale.
Meconium, which I'll probably find in the first diaper, is accumulating in his intestines. Baby's measurement can be anywhere from 18.9 to 20.9 inches long. The normal weight during this period (37 to 40 weeks) is 6.2 to 9.2 pounds. My baby's weight is a whopping 7 pounds!!
