Wow, 37 whole weeks! Eating into that final month of pregnancy. This week has been pretty up and down, which you'll read about below. This is what the 37th week has had in store for me:
How far along?
37 whole weeks. Baby is built!
Symptoms
Energy not quite as low as last week, and my pelvic pain has eased off a bit. I have been so clumsy and thoughtless, though. An example: Ben found a drink of mine in the wardrobe the other day, whoops. Bub's head is well and truly down, I can feel it down there – and yes, it's a bit weird!
Maternity clothes
The usual!
Stretch marks
I don't think I have any.
Sleep
Just the usual. Waking every night, the odd leg cramp. Those practise contractions are much more intense at night, I can feel my heart pounding and my throat/head get all tight feeling, as though I'm hanging upside down. All normal though!
Best moment this week
Mama came to visit for a whirlwind weekend trip, it was so good to see her! We went to The Grounds for a walk around – it's a neat collection of cafes (including a florist) in a cute garden setting. Couldn't walk past the donuts stand, or the fresh lemonade!
My handbag was stolen right out of our window, while we were both home! Pretty awful. I'm usually so cautious about putting anything near the window, but I put my bag down and popped out of the room for just a second... and then we both heard the window rattling violently (being pulled up), and some cheeky bugger pulled it out between the security bars and ran off into the night. We got the locks changed and cancelled my bank cards immediately, and then walked up to the police station to report it, hoping the bag might be ditched somewhere and handed in. Luckily, a tow-truck dude found my bag as he was going over the harbour bridge, so we go it back! So stupid – they took my headphones and the small amount of cash in my wallet. I'm sooo grateful I don't have to reapply for all the cards I have in my wallet.
Movement
Baby is feeling big; I am feeling big!
None.
Anything making you feel sick or queasy?
No.
Gender
We ask baby what it is all the time (one kick for girl, two kicks for boy), but no response!
Belly button in or out?
Kinda both – looks weird!
Happy or moody?
Moody; there's been the good and the bad.
Looking forward to...
Finishing up my work projects so I can chill out.
