37 Weeks!! well, 37.5 to be exact :)

So, we have officially hit the full term mark!! She is safe to come out (although I want her to wait till Dec. 1st of course!) But isn't that amazing?!?! EVERYTHING is fully developed and ready for the world :)

She is approximately between 19.5 and 20.5 inches now and weighs between 5.5 and 6.5 lbs! Holy canolies, seriously I couldn't be more excited! The only thing that is still happening other than weight/length is that her immune system is still growing stronger.

As for me, I'm still loving it believe it or not! I still adore her moving around and watching her play... it's funny I'm so excited to hold her, kiss her, smell her... but I am really going to miss having her inside me.

I thought it'd be fun to list all the not so fun and cool "symptoms" that a lot of preggo women go through and how much I've had them on a scale of 1-10. :)

so here we go:
not so fun stuff:

1. nausea maybe a 1? some sents made me loose my appetite. But yeah that's it. Never threw up, never got sick, ect ect..
2. tender breasts 2.5 at the very begining. As long as I didn't hit them they didn't hurt! and not even Billy messing with them hurt, just a touch tender. :)
3. copper taste in the mouth 1.5 for the first few weeks, then 0.
4. food aversions maybe a 1? actually I think not at all, but I might be forgetting a time or 2.
5. cravings 2.5 I have always been a craver, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for me, I mean I did crave things, but not anything new or strange except for the first few weeks I wanted hot sauce!
6. shortness of breath 0. that's right, I've not had issues with it!
7. kicks in the ribs .5 I mean twice ever she stuck a foot up there, and moved it right away when I asked her to.
8. blurred vision/spots 0.
9. swelling of the ankles 3.5-5 at one point for a week was REALLY bad, like a 5 and it didn't go away for a few days then it went away and didn't come back at ALL for 4 months. and just the last couple weeks I've had some swelling but nothing terrible. maybe a 2 overall.
10. itchy skin 0.
11. stretch marks 0. YUP NONE!! Whoo hoo!! I totally blame Celtrixa, this stuff I've been using since I found out I was preggo. It is amazing! None on my belly, hips, or breasts!
12. larger breasts. 7.5 seriously I went from a 34 B to a 34/36 D. I say doubling is a pretty significant increase.
13. leaking breasts. .5 I get the little "crusty" thing in the cracks but no actual leaking. Unless I try to get some out of course.
14. preggo brain, aka MASSIVE forgetfulness, loss of train of thought, ect. 6.5-7 Yeah, I forget halfway through a conversation sometimes what I'm talking about. And I can't multitask ANYWHERE like I used to. I also get distracted so so easily now. And it has been proggressive lol. I'm at a 7 or so now I think.
    
15. Heartburn between 4 and 8 depending on the point in pregnancy. I had none until 6 months, then for a month it was SOOOO bad, a solid 8 at least 4 hours a day.. and then nothing really for a couple months, and then now again it's a 4. Some days are worse than others but it hasn't been terrible in over a month.
    
16. back pain 0. actually less than pre pregnancy I think. Until maybe today, but that's cause everything is shifting majorly right now.
    
17. nesting 8. Once it finally hit, this last week, I got it bad.. it may actually be worse. It may be a 9.. I'm wanting to clean EVERYTHING and get EVERYTHING in order!
    
18. mood swings 1. I have had two and both were HORRID, but to only have 2 in 9.5 months isn't too bad I don't think! and I was aware I was out of line and irrational and I appologized immediatly following and during lol
19. sleep issues 3. Just the last few weeks really because I'm having to get up to pee so much and she wakes me up and I can't sleep through it.
20. peeing every 2 seconds 2. Not at all till 7 months, then it was only a couple times a night.. but the last few weeks! ACK! I'm getting up 4 times a night at least now!

so not too terrible I don't think!

cool stuff:

1. her moving around 10. she is seriously a future cirque du soliel member!
2. feeling her early 10. I felt her around 11 weeks consistantly. REALLY feeling her by 14 weeks
3. hubby being involved and playing/talking to her 10. I got really lucky in this! He has been amazing really and truly.
4. belly shape 8.5-9. I have hardly gained any mass anywhere but in my belly and it's been firm the whole time! I have had a great round shape the majority of the time and i have been so excited everytime it grows more!
5. appreciating my body more 8. I love my body now and am so amazed at what it can do!

Soo..... That's my pregnancy in a nutshell!
