37 Weeks and 4 days!!!

How big is Benjamin this week? Ben is the size of a winter melon! He weights about 6.2-9.2 pounds and measures about 18.9 to 20.9 inches.

Due Date: April 9th, 2013

Weight Gain: 24.5 pounds!

Symptoms: Back labor and major Braxton hicks contraction... But since Wednesday I have been feeling much better and sleeping much better!

Cravings: Brownies... Might have to make some this weekend!

Food Aversions: This isn't really a food, but a smell... cigars! YUCK!

I am loving: I think we are officially ready for Ben to arrive... all the laundry is finished, we are packed for the hospital, his nursery is complete and all the little things are ready! Super excited we can just relax and enjoy the last 2 weeks before our sweet baby boy with no stress or big "to do's" on the list.

I miss: Nothing this week...

I am looking forward to: The Woodlands Crawfish Boil today! We had a great time and tomorrow we are having brunch with some wonderful friends who are in from out of town!

I'm spazzing about: I just can't wait to get our maternity photos back... super hopeful we will get them all this week! Can't wait to share!!!

Best thing about this week: We had a great 37 week Dr. appointment earlier this week! Everything is right on track!!!

Milestones: Ben is now considered "full term" and is practicing some new skills... inhaling, exhaling, sucking, gripping and blinking! He is also getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready for his first diaper... and daddy is also preparing for that same first diaper change as well!!!

Movement: Oh yes... he continues to make my belly look really funny in odd shapes... sometimes I pat his little tush and try to get him back into a more comfortable position... sometimes it works and others not so much.
