37 Weeks

FULL TERM! :)

It's always such a good feeling when you make it full term. I feel like I can take a deep breath and know that if Collyn came anytime now, he would most likely do okay.

ABOUT COLLYN: Collyn should be about 6 1/3 pounds and a little over 19 inches long. He has even LESS room than he did before so he isn't kicking at all really. He just adjusts a little here and there. He is still head down and he feels a little lower in my pelvis.

ABOUT ME: I'm feeling HUGE!!!! I'm having a hard time moving around, of course. On Friday night, I had contractions for 3 hours about 10-15 minutes apart and then they stopped, so we didn't go in. I haven't had any since. I'm still having Braxton Hicks contractions every once in a while during the day. Some are strong and some I barely notice. I'm only swelling in the evenings. I've been trying to keep tons of water in me which helps with the contractions and the swelling.

ABOUT LIFE: Lyndon is home! It was a long long week without him here. I think things will slow down the next few weeks so we are able to get things ready for Collyn. I've started packing the hospital bag. I'm packing a lot less this time than I did last time. Nesting is starting to set in. I'm getting more energy and having the urge to clean everything, which is difficult with a one year old in the house. :)
