Full Term!!

As of last Friday baby Nations is officially full term! We made it!!! I am still going in for non stress tests 2x a week, and resting as much as possible. Tomorrow afternoon we have another ultrasound that will tell us if I am getting induced on Wednesday night at midnight, or a week from Thursday at midnight- This past week I have gained 3 lbs, which is a good sign that hopefully the baby is gaining weight also!

Weekly Stats:
How far along: 37.5 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 26 lbs
Maternity clothes: Yup! I love maternity jeans lol!
Stretch marks: None!!!!!!! I think I made it!!!
Sleep: Still comes and goes. Some nights are better than others.
Best moment this week: Hitting the 37 week mark- yay!
Movement: Overall it seems like the movement has decreased some. But baby boy went absolutely crazy the other morning at 3am. He started doing somersaults, which was not fun considering how big he is now!
Food cravings: Nothing. Still boring:-)
Food aversions: nope
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: Braxton Hicks contractions, and a couple painful ones here and there
Belly Button in or out: flat
What I miss: Nothing really right now
What I am looking forward to: Meeting my baby boy- It is crazy for me to think that it could be in a few days!!
Milestones: Hitting the 37 week mark!

Induction Dates

I found out today that my doctor has scheduled 2 different induction dates, depending on how my ultrasound goes next Tuesday!! Assuming that the ultrasound shows that our baby is staying at the same growth percentile or increasing, I will be induced at midnight on the morning of the 18th, two weeks from now. If by chance the bedrest and me increasing my protein and calorie intake hasn't helped, and the little guy drops lower on the growth chart, they are going to induce at midnight, the morning of the 10th. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the 18th!! I want to give him as much time as possible to grow before he is born! Hopefully by then I will have started to dilate and efface as well.... We will see! Keep our little guy in your prayers!!
