3...

Well my blood pressure is still a wee bit high but I'm starting to think I have white coat syndrome. I check my blood pressure at home in the mornings and it's normal or near normal, as soon as I get to the doctor's it sky rockets. Luckily, they let me rest for a couple of minutes, take it again, and it's better. Still no headaches, or nausea or vomiting so I really do think it's just nerves as opposed to anything more serious.

Not too much has changed since last week. I'm feeling good, good and tired, but good. I'm getting anxious, and nervous and excited but mostly excited to see our peanut.  I copied this from another blog I follow so here goes:

How far along: 37 weeks today! 

Total weight gain: 28 lbs

Size and growth of the baby: Baby is now almost 7 pounds and is the size of a melon

Maternity clothes: That's the only thing I can fit into these days. It's getting harder and harder to find clothes that fit around my expanding belly, even my husband's shirts are getting too snug

Sleep: I am constantly changing positions, my hips hurt if I lay on one side too long

Best moment(s) of the week: Hearing her heartbeat at Monday's appointment, feeling her kick around 

Food cravings/aversions: Still on a sweet kick, in fact, I could go for an M&M cookie right now

Morning sickness: None

Symptoms: Braxton hicks occasionally 

Labor signs: I think she is pretty content for now, although, I've had some mild abdominal cramping 

Belly button in or out: It's been "out" for awhile and by out I mean it's no longer flat, it's not completely protruding yet

What I miss: Comfortable clothes

What I'm looking forward to: Meeting the peanut

What I'm not looking forward to: I'm super nervous about labor but I have to go through labor to meet the peanut so I try to not think about it too much.
